Tag name is followed by "@" symbol and proficiency level value.
About proficiency levels:
- 1-2 — basic awareness. Minimal hands-on experience, and a rudimentary understanding of the technology's purpose;
- 3-6 — daily use. Comfortable and regular usage, capable of handling common tasks and challenges related to the technology;
- 7-9 — you are an expert, you can teach others, you know all the pitfalls and tricks;
- 10 — exceptional knowledge, comprehensive understanding, and adeptness in all aspects of the technology, including advanced problem-solving. Think twice before claiming or demanding such level.

Details
Our Cyber team builds AI systems and products that help trusted defenders understand and respond to cyber threats while improving the safety and reliability of frontier models in security-sensitive settings.
The team works across product engineering, model training, evaluations, safeguards, and deployment to make advanced cyber capabilities useful to defenders and responsibly managed. We collaborate closely with Safety/Preparedness, Research, Security, Legal, Communications, Go-to-Market, and external partners across OpenAI’s broader cyber work.
The role involves helping define and ship security products, working with trusted defenders and customers, shaping model training and access patterns, and building research and evaluation systems for assessing cyber capabilities, validating safeguards, and improving training data. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role connecting product launches, model development, safety work, and real-world security use cases.
Responsibilities
- Help define and execute the technical roadmap for Codex Cyber’s security products, including evaluations, safeguards, trusted-defender workflows, and deployment decisions.
- Work with trusted defenders, customers, and partner teams to understand cyber use cases, evaluate risk, and turn feedback into product and research priorities.
- Shape cyber-specific model training and access patterns, including data, evaluations, validation, and deployment criteria.
- Build and validate systems for measuring cyber capabilities, monitoring misuse risk, and proving safeguards work in practice.
- Collaborate with Safety/Preparedness, Research, Security, Legal, Communications, Go-to-Market, and external partners on company-wide cyber priorities.
- Translate frontier cyber research into launch-ready tools, operational playbooks, and durable infrastructure for Codex and security products.
Requirements
- Enjoy 0-to-1 environments, navigate ambiguity, and build security products that bring frontier AI capabilities to trusted defenders responsibly.
- Move fluidly between product launches, customer and defender partnerships, model training, evaluation science, and security research.
- Have 10+ years of experience in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar languages, with the judgment to build reliable systems in ambiguous, high-stakes domains.
- Think clearly about cyber capability, misuse risk, access patterns, safeguards, and deployment tradeoffs in high-stakes environments.
- Have experience in ML systems, security products, cyber evaluations, model training, safety engineering, or trusted customer deployments.
