Requirements

Candidates should have a background in statistical machine learning, physics, mathematics, or another theoretically and empirically rigorous field. Alternatively, a strong track record in deep learning research demonstrating expert knowledge of deep learning algorithms is required. Proficiency in programming and the ability to implement novel deep learning algorithms correctly and autonomously is essential. A value for principled approaches and simple experiments in tightly-controlled settings is also important.

Responsibilities

As a Research Scientist, you will conduct investigations and develop theories that predict algorithmic scaling behavior. You will build and apply theoretically-grounded intuitions, design and execute experiments, and think deeply about hyperparameters to deliver improvements across all aspects of our algorithms.

Develops safe and beneficial AI technologies

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.
