Position Type: Full-time

Role/Responsibilities Location: Santa Clara (USA) and New Jersey, USA

Lead the architecture and productionisation of OpenAI‑first solutions in a forward‑deployed model. You will embed with customers to design secure, scalable patterns around ChatGPT Enterprise rollout and administration (SSO/SCIM/RBAC, data controls), OpenAI API endpoints (Assistants & tool/function calling, Responses/Chat Completions, Embeddings, Files/Batch, Moderations), fine‑tuning pipelines, and agentic RAG then drive PoC → Production with governance, observability, and cost control. Keep solutions portable with pragmatic use of cloud services, LangChain/LangGraph/Semantic Kernel, and standard vector stores.

What you’ll do

ChatGPT Enterprise deployment & governance: Plan workspaces; implement SSO/SCIM, role models and policy guardrails; set up usage analytics; define custom GPTs governance (actions/connectors, approvals) and runbooks.

OpenAI API architecture: Design patterns for Assistants with multi‑tool orchestration, structured outputs (JSON schemas), function/tool calling, Files/Batch for bulk jobs, Moderations, and Embeddings for retrieval.

RAG & evaluation: Stand up OpenAI‑centric RAG (chunking, embeddings, indexing), implement groundedness checks, prompt test suites, red‑teaming, and cost/perf SLOs.

Fine‑tuning lifecycle: Own dataset curation, training/eval, bias checks, rollback/versioning, and telemetry for tuned models.

Operability: Add observability (OpenAI Observability/OpenTelemetry), token/cost telemetry, retries/backoff, idempotency, and feature flags/canaries; document runbooks and SOPs.

Azure, and/or AWS or GCP & identity/networking: Design with Managed Identity, Secret Management, and optional Private Link/private endpoints; harden per enterprise controls.

Frameworks & vector stores: Apply OpenAI Agent SDK, LangChain/LangGraph or Semantic Kernel where useful; integrate Azure Cognitive Search, Redis/pgvector, or managed vector services.

Copilot/Graph & app embeds: Where valuable, integrate via Copilot Studio and Microsoft Graph; wire assistants into Teams/SharePoint and line‑of‑business apps.

Delivery engineering: Enforce CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps) and IaC (Terraform/Bicep); support multi‑region rollout strategies.

7+ years in software/solution architecture; strong Python plus one of Java/TypeScript.

Proven delivery on OpenAI/Azure OpenAI (Assistants/tool calling, RAG, eval/safety, observability) and enterprise deployments (auth, policies, cost).
