About the Team

Our team runs the GPU fleet that serves the models backing ChatGPT and the API. We build automation to provision and manage one of the largest cutting edge GPU inference fleets in the world, exposing it as a singular platform for other OpenAI teams to seamlessly run production applied AI workloads. 

We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced engineering manager to help lead our GPU platform team. You’ll help build and scale one of the largest inference fleets in the world. You will also collaborate closely with product and infrastructure teams to help ship reliable products quickly. 

In this role, you will:

  • Manage and build a diverse team of high performing infrastructure engineers

  • Guide the roadmap for automation for a fleet that can grow an order of magnitude in size or more

  • Build a world-class, secure compute fleet that serves users at scale

  • Set technical direction on evolving our compute and abstractions to support a growing business

  • Collaborate closely with a broad set of stakeholders, including product engineering, inference, security, research and finance

  • Work with external partners to unlock bleeding edge compute and making it available as a turnkey resource for scheduling workloads

  • Coach and nurture engineers to accelerate their growth and learning

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • Have 10+ years of experience in infrastructure software engineering, including 5+ years of experience in engineering management

  • Have prior experience building out high performance computing infrastructure teams at scale

  • Have worked with provisioning bare metal server data centers that interconnect across a WAN

  • Have experience building hybrid-cloud platforms

  • Care deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have a track record of building inclusive teams

  • Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done. You will be expected to be able to be hands-on to help the team debug issues or manage systems from time to time as needed.

  • Have the ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines
