About the role
About the Team
ChatGPT relies on a large and growing GPU fleet to serve inference workloads reliably and efficiently. We develop the systems and tools that make it possible to introduce new models, manage production deployments, respond to operational issues, and use infrastructure effectively at scale.
Our work spans distributed systems, platform engineering, infrastructure automation, and developer experience. We partner closely with research, infrastructure, and product teams to make model deployment more reliable, more efficient, and easier to manage.
About the Role
We are looking for a software engineer with experience building or operating large-scale production systems.
You will design and develop systems that support the model lifecycle in production, including deployment orchestration, configuration management, operational automation, reliability, and capacity management. You will help transform complex operational processes into scalable platform capabilities that enable teams across OpenAI to deploy and manage models with greater confidence and less manual effort.
This role is a good fit for engineers who enjoy solving complex operational problems and building software that makes production infrastructure easier to run at scale.
In This Role, You Will
Build and evolve the platform used to deploy, configure, and manage models across ChatGPT.
Develop systems for deployment orchestration, model rollouts, operational visibility, and production readiness.
Create abstractions and tooling that simplify complex infrastructure and improve the developer experience.
Automate operational workflows, including incident detection, diagnosis, mitigation, and recovery.
Improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of model deployments and the infrastructure that supports them.
Build systems that support capacity planning, resource allocation, and infrastructure utilization.
Partner with research, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to identify common challenges and deliver reusable platform capabilities.
Shape the technical direction of the model management platform as ChatGPT and its underlying systems continue to evolve.
You Might Thrive in This Role If You
Have built or operated internal platforms, distributed systems, or large-scale production infrastructure.
Enjoy turning complex operational problems into reliable software and reusable abstractions.
Have experience with deployment systems, orchestration, configuration management, or infrastructure automation.
Understand production reliability, observability, capacity planning, and incident response.
Care about developer experience and building tools that make other engineering teams more effective.
Are comfortable working across organizational boundaries and taking ownership from system design through production operation.
Thrive in fast-moving environments with significant technical ambiguity.
Requirements
- ·Five or more years of software engineering experience building production infrastructure.
- ·Strong programming skills in Go, Python, C++, Rust, or a comparable language.
- ·Experience designing or operating highly available distributed systems.
- ·Experience with platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, production engineering, site reliability engineering, or similar disciplines.
- ·Strong systems design, debugging, and operational problem-solving skills.
