## Description

## About the Team

Across industries, OpenAI's Applied AI Engineering (AIE) team helps organizations turn frontier AI into safe, reliable production systems that deliver meaningful business outcomes.

## About the Role

As an Enterprise AIE, you will serve as a technical partner to leading organizations including universities and other educational institutions, helping them turn ambitious AI use cases into durable production systems and adoption at scale.

## Responsibilities

- Work hands-on in code to design, build, evaluate, and deploy AI systems from prototype to reliable production and scaled adoption that solve important customer problems and deliver measurable business outcomes.

- Partner with enterprise customers to identify high-value opportunities and translate them into technical architectures, implementation plans, evaluation strategies, and success criteria.

- Make sound technical decisions across model selection, agent and tool design, retrieval, context design, data pipelines, evaluation, reliability, observability, latency, cost, safety, security, and governance.

- Diagnose complex implementation challenges, reproduce failures, test hypotheses, and drive blockers to resolution.

- Partner closely with customers' engineering teams and OpenAI's Product, Research, Engineering, Security, and Go-to-Market teams to turn deployment experience into actionable product feedback.

- Create reusable architectures, tooling, playbooks, and technical guidance that accelerate future enterprise deployments.

## Requirements

- Have personally designed, built, and shipped AI or machine-learning systems in enterprise environments, taking them from prototype to production and making substantial contributions through coding, architecture, evaluation, debugging, or production engineering.

- Are highly proficient in Python and comfortable working end to end across model APIs, agent and tool development, retrieval and data pipelines, evaluation, observability, integrations, and production operations.

- Know how to evaluate AI systems systematically using representative data, automated graders, production signals, and human judgment.

- Have navigated enterprise production requirements, including integrations, reliability, observability, security, privacy, data governance, performance, and cost.

- Experience navigating education or research environments, including institutional data, privacy, access controls and complex integrations, is valuable.

- Can connect technical decisions to customer workflows, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.

- Communicate clearly and credibly with hands-on engineers, technical leaders, security and product teams, and executives.

- Take end-to-end ownership, exercise strong technical judgment, and move effectively through ambiguity.

- Learn quickly, challenge assumptions constructively, and collaborate with humility.

OpenAI offers relocation assistance to new employees. Office-based employees follow a hybrid work model with three days per week in the office.
