Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Analytics

The Scaling team designs, builds, and operates critical infrastructure that enables research at OpenAI. Our mission is simple: accelerate the progress of research towards AGI. We do this by building core systems that researchers rely on - ranging from low-level infrastructure components to research-facing custom applications. These systems must scale with the increasing complexity and size of our workloads, while remaining reliable and easy to use. As we grow, we’re looking for a pragmatic and versatile software engineer who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys building systems that empower others. This is a generalist software engineering role with an emphasis on distributed systems, data processing infrastructure, and operational excellence. You’ll develop and operate foundational backend services that power key OpenAI’s research workflows - both by creating new infrastructure and by building on existing systems. The use cases will span across observability, analytics, performance engineering, and other domains, all with the goal of solving meaningful and impactful problems to research.
