Software Engineer, Integrity Foundations

In This Role, You Will:

• Design and build scaled foundational systems used in the detection, tracking, and enforcement of harm using our technologies.
• Work closely with and learn from technical and non-technical experts on harms we are observing, and that stem from our platforms, to inform your designs and implementation.
• Leverage OpenAI’s most advanced technologies to automate and augment our abilities to detect and reason about complex harms quickly, accurately, and with minimum human intervention.
• Collaborate with policy, trust and safety operations, legal, investigations, and harm-specialised engineers and data scientists to holistically combat abusive actors and customers using OpenAI’s technology.
• Stay abreast of the latest techniques and tools to stay several steps ahead of determined and well resourced adversaries.

You Might Thrive in This Role If You:

• Have at least 5 years of software engineering experience in backend and data systems.
• Have at least 2 years experience in trust and safety analysis, investigation, and/or operations.
• Are excited to learn from top experts in the world on harms committed with AI, and to collaborate in an interdisciplinary team including technical and non-technical roles to combat these harms.
• Can dive into our codebase, intuit how it works, and be able to have a strong intuition for suggestions that will lead us to a stronger engineering position.
• Have a voracious and intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills. An equally strong talent for sharing that information 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.
• Experience in Machine Learning techniques is a plus, but not required.
