OpenAI is hiring an engineering manager to lead its Online Data Systems team, which builds and runs the company's in-house online database and indexing technology — the data stack behind ChatGPT and Codex. The manager will hire and grow infrastructure engineers, set measurable reliability goals such as SLOs, reduce operational toil through self-healing systems, and encourage pragmatic use of agent tooling. The posting asks for hands-on background in databases, indexing, storage and distributed systems, plus experience managing data-intensive engineering teams and retaining senior engineers.
