OpenAI is pushing artificial intelligence to an unprecedented scale. We have a huge compute footprint and run some of the biggest GPU clusters in the world. As our scale has grown, so has our threat landscape – while advanced AI can benefit the world, in the wrong hands, it can also be used maliciously.
As a security-focused Distributed Systems engineer, you will build large-scale production-grade distributed systems that secure OpenAIs massive fleet. This requires both providing easy to use, introspectable systems that can promote a fast debugging and development cycle, while also enabling that experience to scale to our newest supercomputers maintaining stability and performance throughout.
You will work alongside a diverse team of engineers, developers, and security advisers to design, architect, and drive security improvements across OpenAI. We are a small company, and intend to stay small: as an early member of the security engineering team, the decisions you make today will have a significant impact on the organization today and into the future.
Requirements
- Broad knowledge of security
- Strong software engineering skills
- Proficiency in Python, Go, and/or Rust
- Experience with large-scale distributed systems
- Understanding of tradeoffs between security, reliability, usability, and performance
Responsibilities
- Work across our Go, Python, and Rust stacks
- Build infrastructure and primitives to secure our bare metal and cloud infrastructure
- Profile and optimize systems for scale while maintaining security transparency
- Design and drive security improvements across OpenAI

About OpenAI
OpenAI develops and deploys artificial intelligence technologies aimed at benefiting humanity. 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.
