Technical Program Manager, Research Compute Services
OpenAI, San Francisco
The role
You will be part of an engineer-first TPM team, partnering closely with the Research Compute Services team. Your primary responsibility will be to build and own the tools, data, and platform that turn Research plans and workload signals into concrete compute demand and manage allocations across the fleet.
This is a hands-on technical role. You will build alongside researchers and engineers, working directly with code and data to prototype solutions, automate workflows, and deliver tools that teams use every day. You will combine technical judgment and program leadership to connect capacity planning with the deployment, scheduling, and optimization systems that make allocated compute usable.
You will work across a broad range of Research workloads, understanding their different requirements and ensuring those needs shape the platform. Success means researchers can express their needs, understand their allocations, and use compute effectively as priorities and workloads change.
