About the Team

The ChatGPT team works across research, engineering, product, and design to bring OpenAI’s technology to consumers and businesses.

We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

The ChatGPT Infrastructure team designs, builds, and operates the foundational infrastructure that powers ChatGPT.

In this role, you will:

• Design and build the development and production platforms that power ChatGPT, enabling reliability and security at scale
• Accelerate engineering productivity by empowering your fellow engineers with excellent tooling and systems
• Bring new features and research capabilities to the world by partnering with product engineers to lay the necessary technical foundations
• Guide and advise product engineering teams on best practices for ensuring observable, scalable systems
• Help create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and the challenging of group think
• Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build. This includes an on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 8+ years of experience in engineering, including 4+ years of experience in infrastructure
• Care deeply about helping to build a diverse, equitable, inclusive culture
• Take pride in building and operating scalable, reliable, secure systems
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change
• Have a voracious and intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills—and an equally strong talent for sharing learnings clearly and concisely with others

Some of the technologies you’ll be working with include Kubernetes, Python, FastAPI, Cosmos DB, Postgres, and Terraform.

This role is exclusively based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
