Description For New Products Platform Engineer

The New Products team at OpenAI is responsible for building the future of computing for a post-AGI world. As a New Product Platform Engineer, you will focus on enabling effective prototyping and "seeing into the future" before it arrives. This involves taking rough pieces from research and combining them into systems that allow us to get a feel for how the future might take shape from a product perspective.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and owning services that bridge research with prototypes built together with partners
  • Working cross-functionally to mitigate bottlenecks and improve the composability and robustness of dependent services

The ideal candidate should have:

  • Willingness to leave no stone unturned in pursuit of solving a problem
  • Experience building backend infrastructure that is easy to maintain
  • Experience building products that end users interface with
  • Experience making things go fast (Most things start in Python, but we expect we'll increasingly move towards Rust for more robust performance)

Nice to have skills:

  • Experience with deploying and serving LLMs
  • Experience with WebRTC and other forms of low-latency communication
  • Experience with Rust

This role is based in San Francisco, CA, with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week. OpenAI offers relocation assistance to new employees.

OpenAI is committed to diversity, equality, and creating an inclusive environment. They do not discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status.

Join OpenAI in shaping the future of technology and help solve immense global challenges through artificial intelligence.
