Job Summary:
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. As a Research Engineer/Research Scientist on the Strategic Deployment team, you will tackle fundamental research questions and AI engineering challenges to enhance the reliability and customization of frontier models, driving impactful AI deployments.
Responsibilities:
• Conduct research on real-world-informed model generalization, robustness, and steerability.
• Design challenging evaluations that capture real-world utility and reveal frontier model capability gaps.
• Use real deployments as a way to generate learnings to guide OpenAI’s frontier model program.
• Collaborate with other researchers, infrastructure teams, and in some cases, domain experts and/or partners in strategic industries to surface major impact opportunities.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Have a research background in ML, deep learning, or related areas (e.g., RL, evaluation science, robustness).
• Have strong engineering skills and are comfortable diving into a large ML codebase to debug and improve it.
• Are interested in foundational research informed by real-world deployment—not just paper benchmarks.
• Are excited by ambiguous, open-ended problem spaces with high impact and stakes.
• Enjoy building tools, datasets, or infrastructure to elicit deeper insight.
• Want to shape how frontier models evolve toward AGI.
