OpenAI is hiring a developer productivity engineer for its Model Performance organization in San Francisco, on-site and full-time. The work is internal tooling rather than model work: improving CI/CD, release, validation and testing pipelines, debugging and deployment workflows, and the Python-heavy infrastructure that performance engineers rely on. The posting asks for strong Python and experience with CI/CD, testing systems or build and release tooling; PyTorch ecosystem experience is relevant, while C++ or Rust are nice-to-haves. Contributing to the Triton project is possible; no inference or model performance background is required.
