About the Team

The Privacy Team at OpenAI is committed to ensuring the secure and ethical utilization of AI technology. Our work encompasses ChatGPT, the API, DALL-E, and other innovative tools we're poised to launch. We provide developers with APIs that offer top-tier AI capabilities, enabling them to create features that were previously inconceivable. In addition to this, we develop consumer applications driven by AI. Across all our product ranges, we prioritize the responsible use of these powerful tools. This approach is essential to OpenAI's mission to safely introduce Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that offers broad benefits. We prioritize safety and ethical considerations over unrestricted expansion.

About the Role

In this role, you will:

• Design, build, and implement the back-end systems and services that power privacy functions within our API products and consumer applications
• Work closely with product managers, researchers, and the rest of our engineering team to develop new products that leverage emerging research capabilities and meet unaddressed customer requirements, all while maintaining stringent privacy standards
• Continuously iterate to enhance user and developer experiences, while also boosting scalability, performance, observability, and security

This role may be a great fit if you:

• Have substantial experience in building (and re-engineering) production systems to meet legal requirements, manage increased scale, and uphold privacy and security standards
• Deeply care about user experience and take pride in developing products that meet customer needs while ensuring privacy
• Possess a humble attitude and an eagerness to support your colleagues, demonstrating a readiness to do what's necessary for team success
• Take responsibility for problems from beginning to end, and are prepared to acquire any missing knowledge necessary to get the job done
• Create tools to speed up your own and your colleagues’ workflows, particularly when pre-existing solutions are inadequate
• Have previously been a startup founder or worked as an early-stage engineer with a focus on privacy
