Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate Auto-review and Guardian platform components while balancing safety, product utility, latency, and operational reliability.
- Build real-time production systems that evaluate agent actions, detect harmful behavior, and support safe recovery or escalation.
- Improve oversight of user intent, context, permissions, and personalization signals while protecting privacy and minimizing friction.
- Partner with alignment researchers to translate prototypes, evaluations, and monitoring techniques into scalable product capabilities.
- Integrate Guardian capabilities into agent experiences across OpenAI with Product, Security, Infrastructure, and engineering teams.
- Develop evaluations, adversarial tests, and monitoring for safety performance, false positives, latency, and user impact.
- Own projects end to end, contribute to technical direction and design reviews, and investigate failures to improve reliability.
Requirements
- Experience building and shipping complex production software with ownership across design, implementation, deployment, and operation.
- Experience building with AI agents or large language models in a core product, startup, or technically serious independent project.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience designing reliable backend services, APIs, and infrastructure.
- Sound product-engineering judgment across safety, usability, speed, and reliability tradeoffs.
- Ability to work closely with researchers, translate open-ended ideas into practical systems, and use experiments and evaluations to guide decisions.
- Comfort with ambiguity, initiative, and clear communication across technical disciplines.
- Commitment to building useful, trustworthy, and safe AI systems.
Benefits
- The role is based in the OpenAI London office.
- The position provides an opportunity to work in a collaborative team at the intersection of engineering, alignment research, product, infrastructure, and security.
