Description

At OpenAI, our mission is to advance AI in a way that is safe, reliable, and aligned with broad societal values. The applied foundations role is crucial for maintaining the trustworthiness of our platforms. You will be pivotal in developing robust defenses against a spectrum of adversarial behaviors that threaten our ecosystem.

In this role, you'll work with our entire engineering team to design and implement systems that detect and prevent abuse, promote user safety, and reduce risk across our platform. You'll be at the forefront of our efforts to ensure that the immense potential of AI is harnessed in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Responsibilities:

  • Design APIs tailored to internal workflows touching all parts of the stack. Support the rest of the team in making data model decisions.
  • Construct and integrate tools that enable internal teams to conduct safety, abuse, and risk investigations efficiently, with strong support for appropriate access controls, auditability, and operational rigor.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design solutions that protect against and mitigate adversarial attacks without compromising user experience.
  • Assist with response to active incidents on the platform and build new tooling and infrastructure that address the fundamental problems.

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • Are passionate about building high-quality internal tools and care deeply about the people who use them.
  • Have at least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Collaborate well across functions, especially with partners outside engineering.
  • Bring humility, strong judgment, and a team-first mindset.
  • Learn quickly, communicate clearly, and are comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
