Software Engineer, Build Systems / CI

OpenAI
New York, CA
Job Description
The Engineering Acceleration team builds and operates the foundational systems that engineers use to build, test, and ship ChatGPT, the API, and OpenAI's infrastructure. We are looking for an engineer to help evolve our build and CI systems for a fast-growing engineering organization.

Requirements

  • Design, build, and operate CI infrastructure that gives engineers fast, reliable feedback on every change.
  • Improve Bazel-based build and test workflows across a large, polyglot codebase, including dependency modeling, remote caching, remote execution, and build/test performance.
  • Build systems that reduce unnecessary CI work through affected-target detection, test selection, caching, batching, and smarter scheduling.
  • Partner closely with product and infrastructure teams to understand their workflows, pain points, and reliability needs, then turn those into practical platform improvements.
  • Improve the observability and debuggability of build and CI failures, making it easier for engineers to distinguish product regressions, infrastructure failures, and flakes.
  • Use modern AI tools to rethink how engineers interact with CI: failure explanation, fix suggestions, automatic retries, and agent-assisted debugging.
  • Own the reliability of the systems you build, including participating in an on-call rotation for critical developer infrastructure.

Benefits

  • Generous Paid Time Off
  • 401k Matching
  • Retirement Plan
  • Visa Sponsorship
  • Four Day Work Week
  • Generous Parental Leave
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • Relocation Assistance
