About this role

Join OpenAI as an Applied AI Engineer to empower government agencies with AI solutions for cybersecurity. Work on-site in Maryland, leveraging your expertise in cybersecurity to drive impactful projects.

Description

OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products.

Responsibilities
  • Work on-site with our clients in Maryland
  • Own hands-on implementation for government cyber use cases, working alongside account-aligned technical owners, customer engineers, cyber operators, and security practitioners.
  • Lead technical discovery to identify high-value AI applications across authorized red teaming, adversary emulation, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, threat hunting, detection engineering, incident response, malware analysis, and similar domains.
  • Build secure cyber prototypes, agentic workflows, and reference architectures using OpenAI models, supported APIs, Codex, and integrations with customers’ security tools and infrastructure.
  • Design and run evaluations that measure technical correctness, security impact, reliability, and operator effectiveness, and use the results to guide implementation and deployment decisions.
  • Partner with government security leaders, mission teams, account owners, integrators, and OpenAI Security and Product teams to establish success criteria, deliver measurable outcomes, and complete clear operational handoffs.
  • Contribute reusable code, examples, and technical guidance to our open-source developer and enterprise resources.
  • Scale the Applied AI Engineering function by sharing knowledge, codifying best practices, and publishing notebooks and implementation patterns to internal and external repositories.
  • Translate customer deployments, operational insights, and evaluation results into actionable feedback for Product, Engineering, and Research teams.
Requirements
  • Hold an active TS/SCI clearance and a current, active full-scope polygraph.
  • Bring 7+ years of hands-on technical experience in cybersecurity, cyber operations, or security-focused software engineering, including work directly with government customers or national security mission teams.
  • Have practical experience across offensive and defensive cybersecurity, with depth in areas such as red teaming, adversary emulation, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, threat hunting, or detection engineering. Experience supporting NSA or comparable national security cyber missions is strongly preferred.
  • Have personally written code, integrated security tools, and built, tested, and deployed cyber capabilities or security automation with measurable technical and mission outcomes.
  • Understand secure network and cloud architecture, identity and least privilege, restricted operating environments, application-security toolchains, authorization boundaries, and human-approved remediation.
  • Have hands-on programming experience with languages such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Go, and can integrate APIs, agents, command-line tools, and security platforms into reliable workflows. Relevant toolchains may include GitHub, CodeQL, Snyk, Semgrep, SARIF, Jira, and CI/CD systems.
  • Communicate clearly with cyber practitioners, engineers, senior leaders, and nontechnical stakeholders, translating complex technical findings into decisions and next steps.
  • Own problems end to end and learn unfamiliar tools, systems, or mission requirements as needed to deliver.
  • Approach collaboration with humility, share knowledge generously, and help colleagues and customers succeed.
  • Drive multiple concurrent projects with urgency, sound judgment, and clear prioritization while maintaining a high standard of technical execution.
