About the Team
The Fleet team builds core components to enable productive research from small to state-of-the-art scale across OpenAI, with the goal of accelerating progress towards AGI. The team frequently collaborates with other teams to speed up the development of new state-of-the-art capabilities.
Role summary
As OpenAI scales with more researchers and engineers, this role focuses on improving the development experience for both engineers and scientists. You will build and maintain systems that allow the research + engineering organization to iteratively develop, test, and deploy new features reliably and with high velocity. You will drive the vision and design for how software should be built, tested, and deployed, and you will take ownership of parts of the environment that rely heavily on Python, Rust, and C++.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA and uses a hybrid work model (three days in office per week). OpenAI offers relocation assistance to new employees for this San Francisco role.
