As the demand for frontier AI grows, so does the complexity of the systems required to support it.
OpenAI’s Compute organization turns ambitious AI research into real-world capability by delivering the compute infrastructure behind our most advanced models. The team works across software, hardware, facilities, operations, and engineering disciplines to make enormous amounts of compute available, reliable, and efficient.
As the demand for frontier AI grows, so does the complexity of the systems required to support it. Scaling this infrastructure means solving problems that cut across distributed systems, ML infrastructure, GPU fleets, power, cooling, networking, manufacturing, supply chain, and data center delivery.
Our work is focused on expanding the compute foundation that enables OpenAI to train more capable models, including systems like GPT-5.6, and make frontier AI available to more people, products, and workflows. We’re looking for exceptional people across many disciplines to help build the next generation of AI infrastructure at a scale few organizations have attempted.
We are hiring across a broad range of roles to help design, build, scale, and operate OpenAI’s compute infrastructure. Depending on your background, you may work on large-scale distributed systems, ML infrastructure, hardware systems, manufacturing, supply chain, data center development, or the physical engineering systems required to bring massive compute capacity online.
You’ll work with teams across research, engineering, hardware, operations, and infrastructure to solve high-impact problems at extraordinary scale. This may include improving system reliability, accelerating deployment timelines, increasing operational efficiency, designing new infrastructure, or helping bring new compute platforms and facilities from concept to production.
This is an opportunity to work on one of the most important infrastructure challenges in AI: building the compute foundation required to train and serve increasingly capable frontier models.
Help build, scale, and operate OpenAI’s global compute infrastructure.
Solve complex problems across software, hardware, manufacturing supply chain, and data center systems.
Improve the reliability, performance, efficiency, and scalability of critical infrastructure.
Partner with cross-functional teams to bring new compute capacity online quickly and reliably.
Identify bottlenecks across technical, operational, and physical systems, and develop practical solutions.
Build tools, processes, systems, or infrastructure that improve execution at scale.
Contribute to the long-term architecture and operational maturity of OpenAI’s compute footprint.
Have experience building, scaling, or operating complex technical systems.
Enjoy working on ambiguous, high-impact problems where the path forward is not always defined.
Are comfortable collaborating across disciplines, including software, hardware, operations, and physical infrastructure.
Have strong technical judgment and a bias toward execution.
Care deeply about reliability, speed, safety, and operational excellence.
Are excited by the challenge of building infrastructure at unprecedented scale.
Want your work to directly support the development and deployment of frontier AI.
Have experience with AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, distributed systems, GPU clusters, or cloud-scale platforms.
Have worked on hardware systems, manufacturing, supply chain, data center development, or large capital infrastructure projects.
Have domain expertise in civil, controls, mechanical, hardware, electrical, thermal, power, networking, or facilities engineering.
Have helped bring new technical platforms, data centers, factories, or large-scale systems from concept to production.
Have experience operating in fast-moving environments where technical depth and execution speed both matter.
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
