About the role
OpenAI is seeking a very senior, independent Software Engineer to lead the technical work behind cyber safeguard infrastructure in Preparedness. You'll bring production-grade engineering discipline to systems that support cyber evaluations and safeguard research, while collaborating with researchers and security partners. The right candidate can move from ambiguous research needs to robust, operable platforms, drive cross‐organizational work, and mentor teammates while staying hands‐on.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
