About the Role The Engineering Acceleration team designs, builds and maintains the foundational systems that engineers use to build ChatGPT and the API. This is a fast-growing team and you will get a chance to own and define the strategy, vision, and plan for how to increase developer productivity. In this role, you will: - Drive the design, development, and implementation of tools, systems, and processes that accelerate engineering velocity, reduce manual effort, and increase the quality of output. - Use our latest AI tools to re-think how we can be the most productive team in the industry. - Work closely with various teams within OpenAI to understand their workflows, challenges, and needs, and ensure the tools and systems built by the Engineering Acceleration team address these requirements. - Bring new features and research capabilities to the world by partnering with product engineers to lay the necessary technical foundations. - Guide and advise product engineering teams on best practices for ensuring observable, scalable systems. - Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build. This includes an on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have 5+ years of experience in engineering, including 3+ years of experience in infrastructure building tooling for developers. - Have experience-driven empathy for the tools, frustrations, and processes that slow engineering teams down and lead to toil or burnout. - Have a voracious and intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills—and an equally strong talent for sharing learnings clearly and concisely with others. - Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions. You view changes as an opportunity to add structure and order when necessary. As technical context: at the heart of our infrastructure is a large-scale deployment of GPU nodes running in dozens of Kubernetes clusters across regions. Some core techn
