Research Engineer
As a Research Engineer at OpenAI, you will be responsible for building AI systems capable of unprecedented performance. This role requires strong engineering skills, including experience with massive-scale distributed machine learning systems and writing bug-free machine learning code, to contribute to major advances in AI.
As a Research Engineer here, you will be responsible for building AI systems that can perform previously impossible tasks or achieve unprecedented levels of performance. We're looking for people with solid engineering skills (for example designing, implementing, and improving a massive-scale distributed machine learning system), writing bug-free machine learning code, and building the science behind the algorithms employed.
The most outstanding deep learning results are increasingly attained at a massive scale, and these results require engineers who are comfortable working in large distributed systems. We expect engineering to play a key role in most major advances in AI of the future.
