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're looking for an engineer to join our team at OpenAI to help us scale up our critical inference infrastructure, which efficiently services every customer request to use our state-of-the-art AI models, including GPT-4 and Dall-E.
In this role, you will:
-
Improve the reliability, security, scalability, and observability of our distributed inference infrastructure.
-
Build tools to give us visibility into our bottlenecks and sources of instability and then design and implement solutions to address the highest priority issues.
-
Ensure the most efficient use of a constellation of different state-of-the-art AI models deployed on a large, heterogeneous fleet of Azure VMs under Kubernetes.
You might thrive in this role if you:
-
Have experience with high-throughput scheduling as a service, particularly at supercomputing scale.
-
Are proficient in testing, debugging, and maintaining systems written in low-level systems languages, particularly C++ or Go.
-
Either know or can quickly learn the fundamentals of modern AI architectures.
-
Have at least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
-
Know network technologies inside and out from L1 to L7.
-
Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.
-
Have a good intuition for when off-the-shelf solutions will work, and build tools to accelerate your own workflow quickly if they won’t.
-
Have the ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines.
Compensation, Benefits and Perks
Total compensation also includes generous equity and benefits.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
- Mental health and wellness support
- 401(k) plan with 4% matching
- Unlimited time off and 18+ company holidays per year
- Paid parental leave (20 weeks) and family-planning support
- Annual learning & development stipend ($1,500 per year)
