Applied AI Engineer

OpenAI's Applied AI Engineering team helps organizations turn frontier AI capabilities into safe, reliable, and high-impact production systems. As an Applied AI Engineer, you will partner directly with leading organizations to design, build, and deploy AI systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. You will combine deep technical judgment, hands-on engineering, and customer leadership to take ambitious ideas from use-case selection and architecture through prototyping, evaluation, production launch, and scale.

You will write and debug code, build evaluation systems, resolve complex integrations, and guide decisions involving model behavior, reliability, latency, cost, safety, security, governance, and operational readiness. Success is measured by production systems, sustained adoption, and meaningful customer impact. This is a rare opportunity to work on consequential real-world deployments at the frontier of AI while directly influencing how OpenAI's products evolve.
