About the Team
We’re hiring software engineers to make OpenAI’s networking teams more productive. These teams build and operate the high-performance networking systems that support OpenAI’s training and inference infrastructure at frontier scale.
About the Role
We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about the developer experience of engineers working on complex infrastructure systems — especially around build systems, test architecture, release pipelines, and reliable development workflows.
This role will be embedded with OpenAI’s networking team: making it faster, safer, and easier for engineers to build, test, validate, and ship changes across multi-server, networked, and hardware-adjacent environments.
Responsibilities
- Improve development workflows for engineers building and operating OpenAI’s networking systems
- Design and improve continuous deployment, release, and validation pipelines
- Build and maintain test harnesses for multi-server, networked, and hardware-backed environments
- Improve iteration speed across C++, Python, and build-system-heavy codebases
- Partner with engineers to identify friction in CI, testing, debugging, and deployment workflows
- Drive testing and reliability strategy for infrastructure components that support large-scale training and inference workloads
- Work closely with centralized developer experience teams while staying deeply embedded with the networking engineers closest to the systems
Requirements / Qualifications
- Experience with CI/CD, release pipelines, testing infrastructure, or build systems
- Comfortable moving between C++, Python, and build systems such as CMake, Bazel, or Blaze
- Experience building test harnesses, automation, and workflow improvements for complex systems
- Able to work with multi-server, networked, and hardware-adjacent environments
- Motivated to improve developer productivity and reduce friction (slow builds, flaky tests, brittle release processes, etc.)
- Self-directed and comfortable operating with ambiguity in a high-context infrastructure environment
