关于团队
OpenAI for Government 团队是一个充满活力、以使命为导向的小组，利用前沿人工智能技术，改变政府实现其使命的方式。我们的团队致力于为公共服务人员提供安全、合规的人工智能工具（例如 ChatGPT Enterprise、ChatGPT Gov）以及与任务一致的部署方案，在满足政府技术要求的同时确保强大的可靠性和安全性。
关于职位
前沿模型部署工程师（FDE）负责在生产环境中进行前沿模型的复杂部署。你将与我们最重要的政府和公共部门客户紧密合作——在这些地方，模型性能至关重要，交付时间紧迫，不确定性是常态。你将分析他们的需求，规划交付流程，并快速推进。这包括定义范围、安排顺序并构建全栈解决方案，创造可衡量的价值，同时在内部和外部团队之间推动清晰的沟通。
你将直接与国防、情报和联邦利益相关者合作，作为他们的技术思想伙伴，指导采用方案，最大化任务影响，并确保大规模部署的成功。在此过程中，你将识别可复用的模式，制定最佳实践，并分享现场反馈，影响 OpenAI 的产品路线图。
该职位位于华盛顿特区、西雅图或旧金山。我们采用每周三天在办公室的混合办公模式。我们提供搬迁协助。需要最多 50% 的差旅，包括与客户的现场工作。
在这个职位中，你将
- 负责多个政府部署的技术交付，从首个原型到稳定生产环境。
- 深度嵌入公共部门客户，设计和构建由 OpenAI 模型驱动的新颖应用。
- 通过交付涵盖基础设施到应用的可见系统，确保客户环境中的成功部署。
- 使用 Python、JavaScript 或类似堆栈，原型设计并构建全栈系统，实现真正的任务影响。
- 主动指导客户，最大化其应用的业务和运营价值。
- 建立并管理与客户领导层和利益相关者的合作关系，确保部署和扩展的成功。
- 定义工作范围，安排交付顺序，尽早消除障碍——在范围、速度和质量之间做出权衡。
- 在需要清晰度或进展时，直接参与代码编写。
- 将工作模式转化为工具、指南或可被他人使用的构建模块。
- 与研究和产品团队分享现场反馈。

About the team
The OpenAI for Government team is a dynamic, mission-driven group leveraging frontier AI to transform how governments achieve their missions. Our team works to empower public servants with secure, compliant AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Gov) and mission-aligned deployments that meet government technical requirements with strong reliability and safety.
About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) lead complex deployments of frontier models in production. You will embed with our most strategic government and public sector customers—where model performance matters, delivery is urgent, and ambiguity is the default. You’ll map their problems, structure delivery, and ship fast. This includes scoping, sequencing, and building full-stack solutions that create measurable value, while driving clarity across internal and external teams.
You will work directly with defense, intelligence, and federal stakeholders as their technical thought partner, guiding adoption, maximizing mission impact, and ensuring successful deployments at scale. Along the way, you’ll identify reusable patterns, codify best practices, and share field signal that influences OpenAI’s roadmap.
This role is based in Washington DC, Seattle or San Francisco. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week. We offer relocation assistance. Travel up to 50% is required, including on-site work with customers.
In this role you will
- Own technical delivery across multiple government deployments, from first prototype to stable production.
- Deeply embed with public sector customers to design and build novel applications powered by OpenAI models.
- Enable successful deployments across customer environments by delivering observable systems spanning infrastructure through applications.
- Prototype and build full-stack systems using Python, JavaScript, or comparable stacks that deliver real mission impact.
- Proactively guide customers on maximizing business and operational value from their applications.
- Forge and manage relationships with customer leadership and stakeholders, ensuring successful deployment and scale.
- Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early—making trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.
- Contribute directly in the code when clarity or momentum depends on it.
- Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks others can use.
- Share field feedback with Research and Product to influence model and product development.
- Keep teams moving through clarity, judgment, and consistent follow-through.
You might thrive in this role if you
- Bring 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience, ideally in customer-facing or government environments.
- Active TS/SCI clearance or equivalent
- Have scoped and delivered complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous contexts.
- Write and review production-grade code across frontend and backend, using Python, JavaScript, or similar stacks.
- Are familiar with cloud deployment models (Azure, AWS), Kubernetes, Terraform, and related infrastructure.
- Have experience building or deploying systems powered by LLMs or generative models, and understand how model behavior affects product experience.
- Simplify complexity, make fast, sound decisions under pressure, and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Spot risks early, adjust without slowing down, and model calm judgment when stakes are high.
- Are humble, collaborative, and eager to help others with empathy.
- Operate with high horsepower, thrive in dynamic environments, and can ruthlessly prioritize across multiple projects.
