OpenAI - Industrial Compute
Requirements
• You’ll work with teams across research, engineering, hardware, operations, and infrastructure to solve high-impact problems at extraordinary scale. This may include improving system reliability, accelerating deployment timelines, increasing operational efficiency, designing new infrastructure, or helping bring new compute platforms and facilities from concept to production. • This is an opportunity to work on one of the most important infrastructure challenges in AI: building the compute foundation required to train and serve increasingly capable frontier models. • Have experience building, scaling, or operating complex technical systems. • Enjoy working on ambiguous, high-impact problems where the path forward is not always defined. • Are comfortable collaborating across disciplines, including software, hardware, operations, and physical infrastructure. • Have strong technical judgment and a bias toward execution. • Care deeply about reliability, speed, safety, and operational excellence. • Are excited by the challenge of building infrastructure at unprecedented scale. • Want your work to directly support the development and deployment of frontier AI. • Have experience with AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, distributed systems, GPU clusters, or cloud-scale platforms. • Have worked on hardware systems, manufacturing, supply chain, data center development, or large capital infrastructure projects. • Have domain expertise in civil, controls, mechanical, hardware, electrical, thermal, power, networking, or facilities engineering. • Have helped bring new technical platforms, data centers, factories, or large-scale systems from concept to production. • Have experience operating in fast-moving environments where technical depth and execution speed both matter.
Responsibilities
• Help build, scale, and operate OpenAI’s global compute infrastructure. • Solve complex problems across software, hardware, manufacturing supply chain, and data center systems. • Improve the reliability, performance, efficiency, and scalability of critical infrastructure. • Partner with cross-functional teams to bring new compute capacity online quickly and reliably. • Identify bottlenecks across technical, operational, and physical systems, and develop practical solutions. • Build tools, processes, systems, or infrastructure that improve execution at scale. • Contribute to the long-term architecture and operational maturity of OpenAI’s compute footprint.
