The opportunity
The IP Infrastructure team builds and operates the systems that enable OpenAI to share research and engineering technology securely and reliably with strategic partners. Our work spans continuously running pipelines for model weights, configurations, code, and container images.
What you'll do
Build and maintain automated pipelines that transfer model weights,: configurations, code, and container images between OpenAI and partner environments
Implement the validation and business logic that determines how artifacts are prepared and shared
Improve production reliability through testing, monitoring, useful diagnostics, and robust failure handling
Integrate services with source control, object storage, and build and: container tooling, working closely with the owners of shared infrastructure
Partner with researchers, security teams, and external engineers to: understand requirements and resolve integration problems
Improve existing workflows and use AI tools where they can make the systems we build more effective
What they're looking for
- Have strong Python skills and experience building, testing, and debugging backend software
- Have taken a service, pipeline, or automation project from implementation: into production and helped keep it reliable
- Enjoy investigating how systems fit together and tracing problems across services and dependencies
- Can turn ambiguous requirements into practical software while exercising: sound judgment around sensitive information
