The opportunity
OpenAI’s Network Engineering team within IT and Security advances the mission of deploying artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of all by delivering secure, scalable, and resilient network services. We build and operate the connectivity that supports OpenAI’s…
What you'll do
Design, implement, and operate secure, scalable enterprise networks across: offices, labs, campuses, PoPs, cloud connectivity, and hybrid environments.
Set strategic direction for network services through architecture, standards,: roadmaps, lifecycle planning, capacity strategy, and measurable reliability outcomes.
Own production operations, including on-call, incident response, escalations,: and time-sensitive delivery, while protecting user experience, security, and business continuity.
Use incident learning, problem management, ticket trends, and telemetry as: roadmap inputs, eliminating recurring failure modes through automation, Infrastructure-as-Code, and safer operating standards.
Develop dashboards, telemetry, alerts, and health checks that provide: actionable visibility into network performance and failure domains.
Implement and operate routing, switching, wireless, WAN, Internet edge,: firewall, NAC, segmentation, and core network services.
What they're looking for
- Lead network changes, migrations, refreshes, site launches, and service: improvements from design through validation and operational handoff.
- Partner with security and identity teams to apply least privilege, Zero Trust: principles, RBAC, device identity, and appropriate access controls.
- Balance long-term platform improvements with urgent operational priorities: through clear ownership, documented decisions, deliberate tradeoffs, and transparent communication.
- Hands-on experience designing and operating enterprise networks using: platforms such as Cisco IOS, Cisco Meraki, Palo Alto, Arista, or equivalent technologies.
