About the Team

The Safety Systems team is in need of a Technical Program Manager to streamline our full safety stack and integration of various safety research and mitigations into ChatGPT and our API. This role is critical for driving safe deployment of our new models, synthesizing inputs from multiple stakeholders - ranging across research, product, engineering, legal, and policy - and ensuring all the risks are effectively and properly monitored, mitigated, or resolved.

About the Role

As a Safety Engineering TPM, you will be responsible for critical tasks ranging from tracking safety engineering progress and risk tables to overseeing critical data infrastructure programs, acting as the connective tissue to enhance the deployment of OpenAI's safety system. Additionally, you will create and execute a compute roadmap for your team to ensure that our top priorities are resourced while taking advantage of new opportunities to make key safety infrastructure investments. Your primary focus will be to build a foundational layer to support the safety of all of our models and products.

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:

• Manage key risk areas and corresponding stakeholders.
• Work directly with safety engineers, engineering managers, and product managers to build common safety infrastructure.
• Manage data and compute infrastructure, including data residency and capacity planning.
• Design and run key internal programs, including incident management and processes for regularly updating our safety mitigations.
• Prioritize and manage a portfolio of infrastructure requests from other internal teams.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have an undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or computer engineering, or a demonstrated track record of engineering expertise.
• Have an extensive track record of successfully delivering high-profile, complex technical projects against tight deadlines.
• Are technically adept, and have effectively partnered with engineering and fundamental research teams of the highest caliber.
• Have expertise in designing and implementing simple, scalable processes that solve complex problems.
• Are relentlessly resourceful and thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Have strong knowledge of content integrity and moderation, including industry best practices and regulatory guidelines.
• Have exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Care about AGI safety.
