Full Job Description
đź“‹ 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.
- • Proven track record of building scalable, high-performance web applications for complex distributed systems.
- • Strong understanding of APIs, distributed data systems, and cloud infrastructure.
- • Execution-focused mindset with a strong emphasis on usability, performance, and scalability.
- • Comfort working in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments with evolving priorities and tight deadlines.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Compensation range of $230K - $347K USD.
- • Opportunity to work on the largest supercomputers in the world supporting frontier AI model training.
- • Collaborative environment with researchers and infrastructure teams at the cutting edge of AI.
- • Access to secure and protected information technology systems with associated data security obligations.
- • Reasonable accommodations available for applicants with disabilities.
- • Equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion across all protected characteristics.
