Research Engineer, Future of Computing

OpenAI
OpenAI Salary
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/1/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/31/2025

About the Team

The Future of Computing is an Applied Research team focused on prototyping and exploring how (consumer) computing might holistically evolve as we advance on our mission of building AGI.

About the Role

As a Research Engineer on the Future of Computing team, you will work together with both the best research scientists in the world and the greatest design talent of our generation to push the frontier of model capabilities. The ideal candidate will have a research background and experience shipping AI products with models in compute-constrained environments.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role you will:

  • Train and evaluate multimodal SoTA models along axis that are important to our emerging explorations.

  • Run through the necessary walls to take nascent research capabilities and turn them into capabilities we can build on top of.

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • Love exposure to a bit of everything - we're collaborators with a hugely diverse set of research.

  • Do rigorous science (rather than vibes based). We need confidence in the experiments we run to move quickly.

  • Have experience working with compute-constrained hardware for inference.
