Data Center Compute

Key Responsibilities

• 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.

Qualifications

• Experience building, scaling, or operating complex technical systems.
• Enjoy working on ambiguous, high-impact problems where the path forward is not always defined.
• Comfortable collaborating across disciplines, including software, hardware, operations, and physical infrastructure.
• Strong technical judgment and a bias toward execution.
• Care deeply about reliability, speed, safety, and operational excellence.
• Excited by the challenge of building infrastructure at unprecedented scale.
• Work directly supports the development and deployment of frontier AI.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, distributed systems, GPU clusters, or cloud-scale platforms.
• Worked on hardware systems, manufacturing, supply chain, data center development, or large capital infrastructure projects.
• Domain expertise in civil, controls, mechanical, hardware, electrical, thermal, power, networking, or facilities engineering.
• Helped bring new technical platforms, data centers, factories, or large-scale systems from concept to production.
• Experience operating in fast-moving environments where technical depth and execution speed both matter.
