Posted Feb 12Software Engineer, Backend (Cooperative AI)
at openai
San Francisco, United StatesOn-site
Responsibilities
- - Collaborate closely with product, research, and engineering teams to integrate OpenAI models into high-leverage 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
Requirements
- About the Team The Cooperative AI team is scaling OpenAI with OpenAI.
- We're 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 AI-based implementations.
- 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.
- experience at product-driven companies (excluding internships) - Proficiency in backend technologies. Our tech stack includes Python, FastAPI, and Postgres -
Benefits
- experience is a bonus, not a must) About OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence
Additional details
- 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 self-contained multi-disciplinary 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 long-term impact.
- 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 We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help architect and scale the infrastructure that powers our knowledge systems.
- Experience designing and scaling distributed systems, APIs, or data processing pipelines - A pragmatic mindset.
