Job Description
About the Team
OpenAIs Inference team powers the deployment of our most advanced models including our GPT models 4o Image Generation and Whisper across a variety of platforms. Our work ensures these models are available performant and scalable in production and we partner closely with Research to bring the next generation of models into the world. Were a small fastmoving team of engineers focused on delivering a worldclass developer experience while pushing the boundaries of what AI can do.
Were expanding into multimodal inference building the infrastructure needed to serve models that handle image audio and other nontext modalities. These workloads are inherently more heterogeneous and experimental involving diverse model sizes and interactions more complex input/output formats and tighter coordination with product and research.
About the Role
Were looking for a software engineer to help us serve OpenAIs multimodal models at scale. Youll be part of a small team responsible for building reliable highperformance infrastructure for serving realtime audio image and other MM workloads in production.
This work is inherently crossfunctional: youll collaborate directly with researchers training these models and with product teams defining new modalities of interaction. Youll build and optimize the systems that let users generate speech understand images and interact with models in ways far beyond text.
In this role you will:
Design and implement inference infrastructure for largescale multimodal models.
Optimize systems for highthroughput lowlatency delivery of image and audio inputs and outputs.
Enable experimental research workflows to transition into reliable production services.
Collaborate closely with researchers infra teams and product engineers to deploy stateoftheart capabilities.
Contribute to systemlevel improvements including GPU utilization tensor parallelism and hardware abstraction layers.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have experience building and scaling inference systems for LLMs or multimodal models.
Have worked with GPUbased ML workloads and understand the performance dynamics of large models especially with complex data like images or audio.
Enjoy experimental fastevolving work and collaborating closely with research.
Are comfortable dealing with systems that span networking distributed compute and highthroughput data handling.
Have familiarity with inference tooling like vLLM TensorRTLLM or custom model parallel systems.
Own problems endtoend and are excited to operate in ambiguous fastmoving spaces.
Nice to Have:
Experience working with image generation or audio synthesis models in production.
Exposure to distributed ML training or systemefficient model design.
