We believe that achieving our goal requires real world deployment and iteratively updating based on what we learn.\nThe Intelligence and Investigations team supports this by identifying and investigating misuses of our products - especially new types of abuse. This enables our partner teams to develop data-backed product policies and build scaled safety mitigations. Precisely understanding abuse allows us to safely enable users to build useful things with our products.\nAbout the Role\nAs an Abuse Investigator specializing in scams and fraud on the Intelligence and Investigations team, you will investigate misuse of OpenAI products that could deceive or defraud people and organizations. You will assess complex cases, distinguish harmful activity from legitimate use, and make well-supported recommendations for action. You will respond to time-sensitive issues and work with partners across the company as investigations evolve. This role calls for strong investigative judgment, technical fluency, and clear communication.\nIn this role, you will:\nInvestigate potential scams and fraud involving OpenAI products, including complex or coordinated activity, and document clear, defensible findings.\n\nAssess urgent and ambiguous cases, distinguish substantiated abuse from legitimate use, and recommend proportionate responses.\n\nCommunicate findings, uncertainty and recommendations clearly to leadership and cross-functional partners.\n\nWork with colleagues across the company to improve how OpenAI responds to emerging scams and fraud.\n\nYou might thrive in this role if you:\nUnderstand online scams and financial fraud, and can adapt as tactics and risks evolve.\n\nBring strong technical and analytical skills, including experience working with complex information and learning new tools.\n\nMake careful judgments from incomplete or conflicting evidence and state the limits of your conclusions. Relevant language or regional expertise is a plus.\n\nHave at least five years investigating online scams, financial fraud, cybercrime or related forms of online abuse.\n\nHave at least two years of experience conducting applied abuse research or improving investigative practices.\n\nWrite clear, well-supported reports and explain findings to technical and nontechnical audiences.\n\nUnderstand how AI products can be misused and can adapt your investigative approach as products and risks change.\n\nAbout OpenAI\nOpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.\nFor additional information, please see OpenAI’s Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement.\nBackground checks for applicants will be administered in accordance with applicable law, and qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment consistent with those laws, including the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, and the California Fair Chance Act, for US-based candidates.
