Software Engineer, Productivity - NetworkingActive$230K–$385K

The opportunity

We’re hiring software engineers to make OpenAI’s networking teams more productive. These teams build and operate the high-performance networking systems that support OpenAI’s training and inference infrastructure at frontier scale.

What you'll do

  • Improve development workflows for engineers building and operating OpenAI’s networking systems

  • Design and improve continuous deployment, release, and validation pipelines

  • Build and maintain test harnesses for multi-server, networked, and hardware-backed environments

  • Improve iteration speed across C++, Python, and build-system-heavy codebases

  • Partner with engineers to identify friction in CI, testing, debugging, and deployment workflows

  • Drive testing and reliability strategy for infrastructure components that: support large-scale training and inference workloads

What they're looking for

  • Work closely with centralized developer experience teams while staying deeply: embedded with the networking engineers closest to the systems
  • You are motivated by helping other engineers move faster and with more confidence
  • You have experience with CI/CD, release pipelines, testing infrastructure, or build systems
  • You are comfortable moving between C++, Python, and build systems such as CMake, Bazel, or Blaze
