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.
