Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Build full-stack web applications that provide real-time insights into cluster health, job failures, and usable capacity across OpenAI’s frontier supercomputing clusters.
• Transform operational questions like "why is this job down?" and "what is preventing these nodes from being ready?" into intuitive, actionable product experiences for researchers and infrastructure teams.
• Collaborate directly with researchers and infrastructure engineers to identify high-leverage problems in cluster operations and design scalable solutions that improve reliability and efficiency.
• Design and implement data models, APIs, and visualizations that enable clear inspection and reasoning about large-scale scheduling, resource allocation, and cluster behavior.
• Develop scalable backend services that process high-volume cluster and workload data with low latency and high reliability to support real-time monitoring and decision-making.
• Create intuitive frontend workflows that connect users to underlying compute, storage, and scheduling systems, improving usability for non-engineering researchers.
• Raise the bar for reliability, performance, and security in the systems used to operate OpenAI’s largest supercomputing infrastructure.
• Work on tools that help diagnose and resolve issues across hardware and software layers, enabling faster recovery and improved cluster availability.
• Build workflows that streamline scheduling, debugging, and resource management at massive scale, reducing manual toil and increasing operational efficiency.
• Contribute to the development of observability tooling and real-time data processing pipelines that surface critical anomalies and performance bottlenecks.
• Partner with infrastructure teams to understand the unique challenges of AI/ML training workloads and translate them into technical product requirements.
• Iterate rapidly in a fast-paced, high-collaboration environment with evolving priorities and tight timelines to deliver impact on mission-critical systems.

🎯 Requirements

• Significant experience in full-stack development using modern frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular and backend technologies such as Python, Go, or Node.js.
