The opportunity
The Monetization team is a new cross-functional group working across engineering, product, research, and design to build the foundational systems that will help OpenAI scale access to intelligence responsibly. Our mission is to develop user-first, privacy-preserving monetization…
What you'll do
Design and build the foundational backend and infrastructure powering OpenAI’s monetization and ads systems
Architect large-scale distributed systems that meet strict requirements for: reliability, privacy, security, and performance
Develop APIs, infrastructure services, and internal platforms that support: ads creation, delivery, measurement, and optimization
Work closely with Product, Research, and Design to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions
Drive 0→1 infra development through rapid prototyping, experimentation, and iterative improvements
Contribute to the long-term technical strategy and roadmap for the monetization infra stack
What they're looking for
- Ensure high engineering rigor through excellent testing, documentation,: observability, and operational best practices
- Build for safety, privacy, fairness, and policy alignment from first principles
- Collaborate across engineering orgs to ensure the infra layer is flexible, performant, and resilient
- Have 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems
