About the Team

Our team brings OpenAI’s most capable technology to the world through our products. Most recently, we released ChatGPT, GPT-4, the Whisper API, and DALL-E. We empower consumers and developers alike to use and access our start-of-the-art AI models, allowing them to do things that they’ve never been able to before.

Across all product lines, we ensure that these powerful tools are used responsibly. This is a key part of OpenAI’s path towards safely deploying broadly beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced research engineer to help push the boundaries of our Fine-Tuning API to the next level. You will be responsible for researching and implementing the methods used by developers to customize their models on our API. You will work closely with our research team to explore new and unproven fine tuning methods. You will also collaborate with our engineering team to take those methods and put them into production. Your work will help power the customization of GPT models for developers around the world.

In this role, you will:

• Research and explore the boundaries of foundation model fine-tuning methods for end-customer use cases.
• Deploy your research into production for customers to use.
• Interact with developers to understand their needs.
• Collaborate closely with a broad set of stakeholders, including product, research, go-to-market, and engineering.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have prior experience fine-tuning LLMs
• Have experience working with large distributed systems for both model training and inference.
• Have built production machine learning systems at internet scale.
• Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done
• Have the ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines
