Requirements

Deep technical experience in infrastructure/systems engineering, TPM, or product
Ability to move comfortably between system detail and program execution
Experience leading ambiguous, cross-functional infrastructure work to tangible outcomes without waiting for perfect information
Default to action, get things done, and enjoy switching between strategy and hands-on work to fully own projects end-to-end
Sweat the details, outcomes-driven, own technical nuances while zooming out for the full picture
Humble attitude and desire to pick up missing knowledge to deliver infrastructure systems
High horsepower, strong problem-solving skills, adept at frequent context switching, effectively manage multiple projects with ownership, and ruthlessly prioritize

Responsibilities

Ship cross-stack, highly technical infrastructure programs end-to-end: frame the problem, define requirements, run fast validations, and deliver to production with clear success metrics
Own outcomes end-to-end, move fast to validate approaches while balancing total cost, performance, and operability
Maintain precise technical intuition while shipping pragmatic solutions to complex, ambiguous infrastructure problems
Manage external vendors and partners and make sound calls on cost, performance, and operability to deliver usable FLOPs faster
Operate at a system level to drive decisions: own the plan of record, force clear trade-offs, and move decisively to unblock execution
Turn ambitious goals into tightly scoped plans, run through blockers, and drive projects to production—owning all aspects from strategy, technical problem definition, vendor engagement, to handoff to execution teams
Collaborate with partners across engineering, capacity planning, research, infra, product, finance, and business development to produce technical, operational, and commercial outcomes

About OpenAI

The company creates advanced AI models capable of performing various tasks, such as automating processes and enhancing creativity. OpenAI's products, like Sora, allow users to generate videos from text descriptions, showcasing the versatility of its AI applications. Unlike many competitors, OpenAI operates under a capped profit model, which limits the profits it can make and ensures that excess earnings are redistributed to maximize the social benefits of AI. This commitment to safety and ethical considerations is central to its mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) serves all of humanity.
