Job Description
About the Team
The Knowledge Innovation team is scaling OpenAI with OpenAI. We are building a model powered knowledge system that evolves and learns as our products systems and customers evolve. We leverage our state of the art models technologies and products (some external some still in the lab) to assist or completely automate robust operations supporting both internal and external customers. We support OpenAI customers and internal partners globally powering systems from customer support to integrity to product insights. We are a selfcontained multidisciplinary team who enjoy a lightning fast feedback loop with customers at scale some of whom sit just a few pods away. We iterate fast and engineer for reliable longterm impact. Were constantly looking for the similarities and patterns in different types of work and focus on building simple primitives to apply world class knowledge to many domains.
The work of this team exemplifies use of OpenAI technologies. We build systems so everyone can see the leverage that is possible with well designed AIbased implementations. We do this by working through internal use cases focused on Customers (specifically knowledge systems automation systems and automated agent systems) to prove impact then we scale.
About the Role
Were looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help architect and scale the infrastructure that powers our knowledge systems. This is a deeply technical and highly crossfunctional role where youll build robust systems and backend services that serve as the foundation for how knowledge is created accessed and applied across OpenAI.
In this role you will:
Design build and maintain backend services and APIs to support intelligent automation and knowledge systems
Integrate and structure data across internal platforms transforming it into formats optimized for use by downstream systems and AI workflows.
Collaborate closely with product research and engineering teams to integrate OpenAI models into highleverage workflows
Own the full development lifecycle of new backend systems and internal platform capabilities
Build with scale and maintainability in mind while rapidly iterating on new ideas
You might be a great fit if you have:
4 years of backend engineering experience at productdriven companies (excluding internships)
Proficiency in backend technologies. Our tech stack includes Python FastAPI and Postgres
Experience designing and scaling distributed systems APIs or data processing pipelines
A pragmatic mindset. Youre comfortable shipping iteratively while building toward a longterm vision
An interest in structured knowledge representation internal search agent infrastructure or systems that evolve over time
Curiosity about AI/ML and excitement to work alongside worldclass research and product teams (handson experience is a bonus not a must)
