Job Summary
About the Team
The Safety Engineering team builds the platforms and tools that make OpenAIs models safe to use in the real world. We partner closely with researchers product teams and policy to turn safety ideas into reliable scalable systems: measuring risk enforcing safeguards and continuously improving how models behave in production. Our work sits at the intersection of product engineering data and AI and directly shapes how millions of people experience OpenAIs technology.
About the Role
Were looking for a self-starter engineer who loves building products in an iterative fast-moving environmentespecially internal tools that unlock real-world this role youll build full-stack tooling for our Safety Systems teams that directly improves the safety and reliability of OpenAIs models including in sensitive areas like mental health and other vulnerable-user protections. Your work will increase the teams velocity in identifying and fixing safety issues and help tighten the feedback loop between policy data and the model training cycle.
In this role you will:
Own the end-to-end development of internal tools that help improve the safety of OpenAIs models (with a focus on areas like mental health and other vulnerable-user protections)
Partner closely with Safety Systems researchers engineers and model policy creators to understand workflows pain points and requirementsand translate them into durable product solutions
Build full-stack experiences to support core model policy workflows such as labeling and inspecting data analyzing and reviewing failure cases and surfacing insights for iteration
Optimize internal applications for usability speed and scale to increase team velocity and reduce time-to-fix for safety issues
Transform successful AI assisted safety workflows into external facing safety products that empowers developers to build safer AI uplift the industry standard for AI safety and prepare the world for more capable AGI.
