Senior+ Software Engineer - Research Platform, Consumer Devices
OpenAI · San Francisco
ABOUT THE TEAM The Future of Computing Research team is an Applied Research team within the Consumer Devices group focused on developing new methods and models as we advance forward in our mission of building AGI that benefits all of humanity. As a Software Engineer on the Future of Computing Research team, you will work together with both the best ML researchers in the world and the greatest design talent of our generation to push the frontier of model capabilities. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team to build tools and services that enable AI research, evaluation, and data generation workflows. The best work in this role will start with an ambiguous design question and turn it into working research systems. You will work closely with researchers, designers, and engineers to build the evaluation systems, synthetic data generation pipelines, review tools, and supporting platform services. The goal is to make these workflows easier to create, run, and trust without requiring bespoke engineering support for each new design concept. You will help ensure that research artifacts have a clear lifecycle, runs are reproducible and observable, and results provide useful evidence for product and model-training decisions while the underlying systems remain reliable and reusable. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of four days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Build web applications, APIs, data models, and backend services for AI research workflows. - Build tools to author and manage evaluation tasks, rubrics, graders, suites, and rollout configurations, including workflows for publishing, versioning, auditing, and sharing research artifacts. - Automate evaluation runs and generate useful reports for design, research, and engineering teams. - Support synthetic data generation workflows for multimodal and conversational resear
