应用人工智能工程师，数字原生代
Applied AI Engineer, Digital Natives
关于团队
Applied AI Engineering 团队负责确保生成式 AI 应用对开发者和企业安全有效地部署。我们作为 API 客户的可信顾问和思想伙伴，致力于为其行业构建前沿 AI 使用场景的优先级列表，并通过强大的技术指导推动其上线生产环境。
作为 Digital Native 部门的 Applied AI 工程师，你将与 Stripe、Uber 和 Reddit 等行业领先的技术公司合作，将新的 AI 能力带入他们客户日常使用的產品中。你将直接与经验丰富的产品和工程团队合作，将前沿模型能力转化为新功能和代理体验。这项工作结合了快速实验与成熟产品的高要求：复杂系统、真实用户以及对质量和性能的高期望。这些部署的经验会反馈给 OpenAI 的产品和研究团队。
关于职位
你将结合深入的技术判断、动手工程能力和客户领导力，将有抱负的想法从使用场景选择和架构设计，经过原型开发、评估、上线生产，到规模化部署。你将编写和调试代码，构建评估系统，解决复杂集成问题，并指导涉及模型行为、可靠性、延迟、成本、安全、隐私、治理和运营准备度的决策。成功以生产系统、持续采用和有意义的客户影响来衡量——而不仅仅是活动或成功的演示。这是在 AI 前沿领域参与具有重大现实影响的部署的难得机会，同时直接影响 OpenAI 产品的发展方向。
该职位位于我们的纽约办公室。我们采用每周三天在办公室的混合办公模式，并为新员工提供搬迁协助。
在这个职位中，你将：
- 深度嵌入到我们最先进和技术复杂的平台客户中，作为他们的技术思想伙伴，共同构思和构建基于我们 API 的创新应用。
- 与 CTO、AI 产品和工程负责人建立关系，确保他们的应用能够大规模成功部署。
- 主动为客户提供指导，帮助他们最大化应用的业务影响，加快他们的价值实现时间。
- 与客户团队合作构建针对性的原型、试点项目和模型评估，以测试产品想法，指导架构设计

About the team
The Applied AI Engineering team is responsible for ensuring the safe and effective deployment of generative AI applications for developers and enterprises. We act as a trusted advisor and thought partner for our API customers, working to build an effective backlog of frontier AI use cases for their industry and drive them to production through strong technical guidance.
As an Applied AI Engineer in the Digital Native segment, you’ll work with industry-leading technology companies like Stripe, Uber, and Reddit to bring new AI capabilities into the products their customers use every day. You’ll partner directly with experienced product and engineering teams to turn frontier model capabilities into new features and agentic experiences. The work combines rapid experimentation with the demands of established products: complex systems, real users, and high expectations for quality and performance. Lessons from these deployments inform OpenAI’s product and research teams.
About the role
You will combine deep technical judgment, hands-on engineering, and customer leadership to take ambitious ideas from use-case selection and architecture through prototyping, evaluation, production launch, and scale. You will write and debug code, build evaluation systems, resolve complex integrations, and guide decisions involving model behavior, reliability, latency, cost, safety, security, governance, and operational readiness. Success is measured by production systems, sustained adoption, and meaningful customer impact – not simply activity or successful demonstrations. This is a rare opportunity to work on consequential real-world deployments at the frontier of AI while directly influencing how OpenAI’s products evolve.
This role is based in our NYC office. 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:
- Deeply embed with our most sophisticated and technical platform customers, serving as their technical thought partner in ideating and building novel applications on our API.
- Forge relationships with CTOs, AI Product and engineering leaders to ensure their application’s successful deployment at scale.
- Proactively provide guidance to our customers on how to maximize business impact from their applications, accelerating their time to value.
- Build targeted prototypes, pilots, and model evaluations with customer teams to test product ideas, guide architecture decisions, and inform their product roadmaps.
- Collaborate with our Product and Research teams in validating upcoming frontier AI capabilities in customer environments, and deliver high-signal feedback to steer OpenAI’s roadmap.
- Scale the Applied AI Engineer function through sharing knowledge and publishing best-practices to our internal and external repositories.
- Evaluate emerging model capabilities, developer tools, and implementation patterns, and translate relevant advances into practical recommendations for customer applications.
- Work alongside customer teams through on-site workshops and implementation sessions, helping resolve technical challenges and strengthen relationships. This includes occasional travel.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Bring 8+ years of deep, hands-on technical experience and an eagerness to work closely with customers. Our team consists of former startup founders, software and ML engineers, technical product managers and solution architects.
- Have a track record of personally leading complex, production-scale AI/ML systems from ambiguous discovery through production deployment, adoption, and measurable business impact.
- Are passionate about being on the forefront of the latest AI industry trends, incl. agent architecture patterns, advanced prompt and context engineering, evaluation frameworks, safety, and security.
- Are proficient in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar languages and are comfortable building production-quality prototypes and reference implementations.
- Demonstrate strong technical judgment: know when to go deep personally, when to mobilize specialists, and how to make clear recommendations with incomplete information.
- Have a humble attitude and an eagerness to help others with empathy.
- Operate with high horsepower, are adept at frequent context switching and working on multiple projects at once with expansive ownership, and ruthlessly prioritize.
- Thrive in dynamic environments and can navigate ambiguity with ease.
