The opportunity
The Cloud Infrastructure team builds and operates the infrastructure behind OpenAI’s products, including ChatGPT and the API. Within Cloud Infrastructure, the Traffic team owns how traffic enters our cloud environments, moves between services, clusters, and regions, and reaches external dependencies.
What you'll do
Design, build, and operate ingress, egress, and service-to-service: connectivity across clusters, regions, and clouds.
Develop proxies, gateways, controllers, and automation for routing, load: balancing, failover, and traffic management.
Build and evolve cloud networking infrastructure, including private connectivity, NAT, and network isolation.
Diagnose failures and performance bottlenecks across application, proxy,: transport, and cloud networking layers; work with cloud providers when issues extend into their infrastructure.
Build telemetry and diagnostic tools that explain traffic paths, identify: failing components, and help engineers take effective action.
Partner with Security to implement and validate traffic-path protections,: including secure service communication, access controls, egress restrictions, and DDoS defenses.
What they're looking for
- Improve latency, throughput, availability, and network efficiency through: measurement, testing, and careful production rollouts.
- Create clear interfaces and safe defaults for service teams, participate in: on-call, and turn operational lessons into changes that prevent recurring failures and reduce manual work.
- Have 5+ years of experience building production infrastructure or distributed: systems, including substantial work on networking or traffic infrastructure.
- Have depth in one or more areas such as cloud networking, Kubernetes: networking, proxies and gateways, service meshes, load balancing, or global traffic routing.
