OpenAI's Engineering Acceleration team seeks a software engineer to own and improve build and continuous integration systems for a large monorepo. The work covers Bazel and Starlark, Buildkite pipelines, Docker/OCI images, Kubernetes runners, remote caching and execution, CI observability, test selection, and flake isolation. The posting asks for 5+ years of software engineering experience, hands-on build-system work, production coding for internal platforms, and distributed debugging. It also mentions using AI tools for CI failure analysis and on-call for critical developer infrastructure.
