The opportunity
OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. The API Platform turns frontier research into reliable capabilities that developers use to build transformative products and services for people around the world.
What you'll do
Design and build dashboards and APIs for safety controls and customer-facing observability.
Develop scalable systems that extend trusted safety capabilities to new use: cases, customers, and deployment environments.
Partner with Safety Research and Integrity to build safeguards that mitigate emerging risks.
Be responsible for the availability, latency, and scalability of safeguards across high-volume API traffic.
Own projects from technical design and implementation through launch and: ongoing iteration, while raising the team’s engineering standards
+ years of professional experience, excluding internships, in backend,: infrastructure, platform, or product engineering roles.
What they're looking for
- A track record of designing, building, and operating production backend: services, developer-facing APIs, or distributed systems.
- Strong software engineering and systems fundamentals, with experience leading: technically complex projects from ambiguous ideas to production.
- Proficiency in one or more general-purpose backend languages, such as Python, Go, Rust, or TypeScript.
- Experience building reliable, scalable systems and reasoning about: distributed architecture, concurrency, latency, observability, and operational tradeoffs.
