About the Team

Our team brings OpenAI’s most capable research and technology to the world through our products. We empower consumers, enterprise and developers alike to use and access our start-of-the-art AI models, allowing them to do things that they’ve never been able to before. We focus on performant and efficient model inference, as well as accelerating research progression via model inference.

  • Work alongside researchers to enable advanced research through awesome engineering.

  • Introduce new techniques, tools, and architecture that improve the performance, latency, throughput, and efficiency of our model inference stack.

  • Optimize our code and fleet of Azure VMs to utilize every FLOP and every GB of GPU RAM of our hardware.

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • Have an understanding of modern ML architectures and an intuition for how to optimize their performance, particularly for inference.

  • Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.

  • Have or can quickly gain familiarity with PyTorch, NVidia GPUs and the software stacks that optimize them (e.g. NCCL, CUDA), as well as HPC technologies such as InfiniBand, MPI, NVLink, etc.

  • Have experience architecting, building, observing, and debugging production distributed systems. Bonus point if worked on performance-critical distributed systems.

  • Have needed to rebuild or substantially refactor production systems several times over due to rapidly increasing scale.

  • Are self-directed and enjoy figuring out the most important problem to work on. 

  • Have a humble attitude, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed.
