- Develop a support model that meets the needs of U.S. Government agencies and other public-sector customers, including organizations operating under FedRAMP requirements.

- Build trusted relationships with strategic customers and represent OpenAI with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment during critical issues.

- Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, Technical Success, and customer-facing teams to improve escalation paths, launch readiness, product quality, and the overall customer experience.

- Turn recurring customer issues into scalable solutions through better processes, documentation, training, self-service resources, automation, and product improvements.

- Help scale global support operations, including on-call, holiday, and weekend coverage based on business needs, while contributing to the broader Support Delivery leadership team.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

- 12+ years of experience in technical support engineering, software engineering, customer engineering, site reliability, infrastructure, or a related technical field.

- 6+ years of experience leading technical support engineering, customer engineering, or software engineering teams in high-scale, security-sensitive, or fast-moving environments.

- A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, another relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

- Experience supporting government, public-sector, regulated, or security-conscious customers and working through complex technical and organizational requirements.

- Strong technical depth across areas such as SaaS applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, authentication, networking, observability, or distributed systems.

- A record of developing experienced technical teams, setting a clear direction, and balancing customer outcomes with team health and sustainable operations.

- Experience leading critical incidents and customer escalations involving senior technical and business stakeholders.

- The ability to influence Product and Engineering priorities using customer insights, operational data, and clear judgment.

- A systems-oriented approach and experience using AI, automation, scripting, or internal tools to improve support quality and scale.
