The opportunity
The OpenAI Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and pushing towards AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world settings. Working across the entire model stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors.
What you'll do
Review, improve, and clean up code across training frameworks and adjacent infrastructure.
Identify risky or low-quality changes before they land, and raise the code: quality bar without slowing the team down.
Debug issues across ML training systems, GPUs, clusters, networking, and related infrastructure.
Help researchers and engineers unblock broken training jobs, flaky workflows, and brittle internal tooling.
Improve the reliability, maintainability, and usability of the robotics team’s training framework.
Move quickly on practical engineering problems that directly affect team velocity.
What they're looking for
- Have strong software engineering fundamentals and excellent code review judgment.
- Have experience with ML systems, training frameworks, GPUs, distributed: systems, infrastructure, or similarly complex technical environments.
- Read and debug unfamiliar codebases quickly, and enjoy getting to root cause.
- Ship high-quality code with strong velocity and pragmatic judgment.
