> Build full-stack web tools to monitor and debug OpenAI's largest supercomputing clusters, helping researchers understand job failures and optimize cluster capacity. Requires strong full-stack experience with React/Vue/Angular and Python/Go/Node.js.
## Job Description
## Responsibilities
- Build full-stack web applications that help researchers and operators understand cluster health, job failures, and usable capacity in real time.
- Turn questions like “why is this job down?” and “what is preventing these nodes from being ready?” into clear, actionable product experiences.
- Collaborate closely with researchers and infrastructure teams to identify high-leverage operational problems and build tools that solve them.
- Design data models, APIs, and visualizations that make large-scale scheduling, resource allocation, and cluster behavior easier to inspect and reason about.
- Develop scalable backend services that process high-volume cluster and workload data with low latency and high reliability.
- Build intuitive frontend workflows that connect users to the underlying scheduling, storage, and compute systems.
- Raise the bar for reliability, performance, and security in the systems used to operate OpenAI’s frontier compute.

## Requirements
- Significant experience in full-stack development, with expertise in modern frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular, and backend technologies such as Python, Go, or Node.js.
- Experience building scalable, high-performance web applications for complex distributed systems.
- Understanding of APIs, distributed data systems, and cloud infrastructure.
- Execution-focused with a strong eye for usability, performance, and scalability.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments with tight timelines and evolving priorities.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native application deployment.
- Understanding of AI/ML workload scheduling and orchestration challenges.
