The opportunity
The Fleet team at OpenAI supports the computing environment that powers our cutting-edge research and product development. We oversee large-scale systems that span data centers, GPUs, networking, and more, ensuring high availability, performance, and efficiency.
What you'll do
Design and build systems to manage both cloud and bare-metal fleets at scale.
Develop tools that integrate low-level hardware metrics with high-level job: scheduling and cluster management algorithms.
Leverage LLMs to coordinate vendor operations and optimize infrastructure workflows.
Automate infrastructure processes, reducing repetitive toil and improving system reliability.
Collaborate with hardware, infrastructure, and research teams to ensure seamless integration across the stack.
Continuously improve tools, automation, processes, and documentation to enhance operational efficiency.
What they're looking for
- Have strong software engineering skills with experience in large-scale infrastructure environments.
- Possess broad knowledge of cluster-level systems (e.g., Kubernetes, CI/CD: pipelines, Terraform, cloud providers).
- Have deep expertise in server-level systems (e.g., systems, containerization,: Chef, Linux kernels, firmware management, host routing).
- Are passionate about optimizing the performance and reliability of large compute fleets.
