Software Engineer, API Safety

Written by the T&S Network from OpenAI's posting.

Software engineering for API safety at a frontier AI company: building the systems that let developers share usage context, see safety events, and apply safeguards matched to the risk of their applications. The team sits alongside API, Integrity, and Safety Research and works on safe deployment of frontier models in the API.

What you'd do

• Create dashboards and interfaces that expose safety controls and observability to customers.
• Construct scalable systems that carry safety features into new use cases, customer types, and deployment settings.
• Work with Safety Research and Integrity to design safeguards for risks that are just emerging.
• Keep safeguards responsive, reliable, and able to scale under heavy API traffic volume.
• Take projects from design through launch and continued iteration, and push the team's engineering bar higher.

What it asks for

• Hands-on history running production backend services, developer APIs, or distributed systems end to end.
• Working fluency in a general-purpose backend language such as Python, Go, Rust, or TypeScript.
• Experience driving technically hard projects from vague concept to a live production system.
