Technical Threat Investigator, Threat Intel EngineeringActive$230K–$385K

The opportunity

Security is at the foundation of OpenAI’s mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.

What you'll do

  • Conduct deep, end-to-end investigations into sophisticated threat actors: interacting with OpenAI’s models, products, and broader ecosystem.

  • Think like an adversary: model attacker behavior, anticipate misuse patterns, and proactively hunt for, identify, and disrupt malicious activity.

  • Leverage internal telemetry, OSINT, vendor data, and in-house safety systems: to produce high-confidence findings on adversarial use of our models in cyber operations, platform abuse, and threats targeting OpenAI.

  • Translate investigative findings into concrete improvements across detection,: enforcement, intel, and safety pipelines.

  • Build tooling, scripts, automations, and agentic workflows that scale: investigative throughput and reduce manual effort.

  • Prototype solutions in ambiguous and emerging problem spaces, including new: product surfaces, novel attacker behaviors, and areas where existing coverage may be limited.

What they're looking for

  • Partner closely with teams across Security, Safety Systems, Product Policy,: and Integrity to operationalize findings and drive meaningful outcomes.
  • Produce clear, high-signal written outputs and recommendations that inform: decision-making across technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience in threat intelligence, incident response, offensive security, or a closely related field.
  • Solid experience investigating sophisticated threat actors, including model: misuse, platform abuse, or other adversarial activity in complex environments.
