OpenAI | Infrastructure Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, FULL-TIME

OpenAI is building safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and ensuring it leads to a good outcome for humans.

The team I'm on is hiring for Infrastructure Engineers to help with things like scaling Kubernetes to 2,500 nodes and beyond: https://blog.openai.com/scaling-kubernetes-to-2500-nodes/

We work in Terraform, Chef, Golang, Ruby, Python, and across the stack as needed. We use existing tools instead of reinventing the wheel when it makes sense, and when we build new tools we often open-source them: https://github.com/openai/kubernetes-ec2-autoscaler

You can find out more at https://openai.com/jobs/, & I'm happy to answer questions via email, ping me at eric@openai.com.

Congrats on the Dota2 win ;)

Have recommended OpenAI to several promising recent grads. Just wondering if the roles are sacrosanct. Or its possible to break out of the box as a back-end engineer. And eventually work in research?

The roles definitely aren't sacrosanct. Teams (& individuals) change and evolve over time, and there's plenty of work to be done. :) Having said that, I might suggest the Fellows program if someone is serious about becoming a researcher - it's a good way to leverage your existing skills while learning how to do AI research.
