OpenAI - Biosafety Red Teaming Specialist

• Lead bio red teaming work from a domain perspective, including shaping evaluation questions, scenarios, and success criteria for biology-relevant misuse pathways. • Review and pressure-test bio red teaming outputs, assess report quality, and help translate findings into concise risk calls and recommended next steps. • Identify new red teaming engagements or external expert collaborations that would improve OpenAI's visibility into biological and overall CBRN misuse risks. • Bring an adversarial mindset to assess how malicious actors could attempt to misuse model capabilities across planning, protocol design, procurement, troubleshooting, and operationalization. • Directly manage Bio Bounty program strategy and maturity, including challenge-question lifecycle, expert researcher pipeline, submission review standards, and program health. • Partner with operations owners on program execution while providing subject-matter review where biological expertise is required. • Review Bio Bounty applications and invite known experts when appropriate to strengthen the researcher pool. • Lead final biological-risk review on eligible submissions before awards, including severity, impact, novelty, and mitigation. • Lead cross-functional efforts with Preparedness, Safety Systems, Policy, Legal, and other teams to turn high-quality findings into concrete follow-up work. • Communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including concise briefings for leadership when needed. • Have a technical/scientific background with at least 8 years of technical CBRN experience • Have deep subject-matter expertise in biosafety, biosecurity, biodefense, synthetic biology, microbiology, public health security, or adjacent CBRN domains, ideally with experience assessing dual-use biological risks. • Have experience with bio red teaming, threat modeling, misuse analysis, adversarial testing, intelligence analysis, or professional casework involving malicious actors or weaponization pathways. • Bring strong operations and/or program management experience. • Can prioritize ambiguous findings based on severity, feasibility, novelty, exposure, and potential real-world impact. • Have excellent judgment when handling sensitive biological information and can separate legitimate research from content that may enable harm. • Communicate complex technical and risk judgments in clear, grounded language for product, policy, safety, legal, and leadership audiences. • Are comfortable working cross-functionally in fast-changing environments where the right answer may require both technical depth and pragmatic execution. • Have enough technical fluency to partner with data, engineering, and safety teams on signals, tooling, and scalable review processes. • Are resilient and thoughtful when engaging with sensitive, high-stakes material.
