Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Analytics Platform
OpenAI, San Francisco
The role
We’re looking for a hands-on experienced software engineer who can take ownership of a critical system and drive it from problem definition through production adoption.
This person should be able to own a platform such as CacheHouse end to end: define its technical direction, design its data model and storage architecture, integrate it with several research dashboards and workflows, guide one or two engineers, and ensure the system works reliably for its users.
The right candidate should already bring the technical judgment, ownership, and execution expected at this level. The primary learning curve should be OpenAI’s stack and research problem space, not learning how to lead a complex engineering effort or deliver a production system.
You will work directly with researchers and the engineers supporting them. You’ll need to understand what users are actually trying to accomplish, distinguish the underlying problem from a proposed feature, and translate recurring needs into simple, durable platform components.
