This team builds and operates the systems that enable OpenAI researchers to run reliable, scalable, and efficient research workflows. The team sits close to research and works across infrastructure, systems, and automation to make sure researchers have the tools and environments they need to move quickly.
The work spans software engineering, infrastructure, systems administration, cluster operations, and reliability engineering. As OpenAI’s infrastructure evolves from bespoke bare-metal systems toward more standard, scalable platforms, the team needs engineers who can understand how systems work end-to-end and build the right abstractions without reinventing the wheel.
About the Role
As a Software Engineer on this team, you will build and operate the infrastructure that supports frontier research and critical research-facing systems. You will work on systems that sit close to the metal, but the role is not limited to classic operations or sysadmin work. We are looking for someone who can reason about networking, bootstrapping, Kubernetes, scalability, automation, and reliability - while also writing software to make these systems better over time.
This role is a strong fit for an independent, high-ownership engineer who enjoys reliability-heavy infrastructure work but still wants to build. You do not need to come in as a kernel expert or highly algorithmic optimization engineer, but you should be deeply curious about infrastructure, comfortable debugging complex systems, and excited to support researchers doing novel work.
We expect you to:
Build and operate reliable infrastructure for research workloads and research-facing services.
Support and improve systems across data infrastructure, processing, crawl and ingest, caching, search, observability, and clusterwide services.
Improve cluster bootstrapping, provisioning, automation, and deployment workflows.
Debug issues across networking, compute, storage, orchestration, and service reliability layers.
Build software and automation that reduce manual operational work and improve system reliability.
Partner closely with researchers, infrastructure engineers, and service owners to understand system needs and translate them into durable solutions.
Help evolve existing infrastructure toward more scalable, maintainable, and standard patterns.
Take ownership of critical systems and drive work independently from problem definition through execution.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have strong systems fundamentals and understand how infrastructure scales in practice.
Are comfortable with Linux, networking, Kubernetes, provisioning, and distributed systems operations.
Can write software to automate, debug, and improve infrastructure systems.
Have a strong execution mindset and can independently drive ambiguous infrastructure work.
Enjoy supporting a wide surface area of systems, from research tooling to platform services.
Are pragmatic about when to build custom systems versus using existing, well-supported tools.
Care about building reliable systems that make researchers faster and reduce operational friction.
Nice to have:
Experience with PXE boot, cluster provisioning, bare-metal infrastructure, or large-scale fleet management.
Experience operating Kubernetes or similar orchestration systems at scale.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, or deployment automation.
Experience supporting search infrastructure, data platforms, ingest systems, or large-scale research workflows.
Experience with Git-based workflows and internal developer tooling.
Prior experience in environments where reliability, scale, and speed all matter.

About the Team
The legal industry team works with law firms, in-house legal departments, legal technology companies, and other members of the legal ecosystem to understand how AI can support serious professional work. The team collaborates across Product, Research, Engineering, Design, Go-to-Market, Partnerships, Safety, Security, and Legal.
We believe the strongest progress in legal will be built with the ecosystem. Our goal is to help customers and partners use OpenAI's capabilities in ways that are useful, trustworthy, and complementary to the products, expertise, and relationships that already serve the field.
About the Role
As a Product Manager you will help lead OpenAI's work with the legal industry. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who can turn incomplete information into clear priorities and shipped work.
We’re looking for people who will spend time with customers and partners, work closely with researchers, engineers, designers, and operators, and keep complex work moving across teams. You will have meaningful ownership, but your success will depend as much on collaboration, follow-through, and judgment as on strategy. Success will depend on detailed, behind-the-scenes work in a fast-moving environment that can sometimes be chaotic. The right person will work very hard, get their hands dirty, and stay calm when the path is unclear. The work is also important and substantive: you will help shape how powerful technology is used in a consequential profession.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
Turn customer, partner, market, and model evidence into a clear product strategy and roadmap for OpenAI’s work with the legal industry—including what to build, what not to build, and where ecosystem partners should lead.
Define requirements and take products from early concept through real-world use and iteration.
Lead execution across Research, Engineering, Design, Safety, Security, FDE, Go-to-Market, and Partnerships—resolving ambiguity, surfacing tradeoffs, inspecting outputs, and closing the detailed loops required to ship trustworthy products.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have personally built and shipped zero-to-one enterprise, developer, or AI products, and stay close to users, product behavior, and the unglamorous details that determine whether something actually works.
Combine strong product judgment with technical curiosity: you can reason from model and evaluation evidence, distinguish model, data, workflow, trust, and delivery problems, and change direction when the facts change.
Earn credibility with demanding practitioners and partners, collaborate with low ego across teams you do not manage, and bring clarity, pace, and calm to complex, fast-moving work. Legal or regulated-industry experience is helpful, but a J.D. is not required.
