Our work spans diverse research and engineering initiatives-from system-level safeguards and model training to evaluation and red-teaming-all aimed at mitigating misuse, misalignment, and maintaining our high bar for safety. We lead OpenAI's commitment to developing and deploying safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), fostering a culture of trust, responsibility, and transparency. Our goal is to continuously learn from deployments, distribute AI’s benefits widely, and ensure that powerful tools remain aligned with human values and safety considerations.\nWithin Safety Systems, the Model Policy team works to ensure that frontier models behave safely and reliably in real-world environments by designing policies that define safe model behavior.\nWe've had several relevant publications, including:\nSafety at every step\n\nOpenAI GPT6 System Card\n\nOpenAI Model Spec\n\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring a Model Policy Manager to shape model behavior for U.S. government use, with a focus on national security applications. You’ll define nuanced policies and translate them into training and evaluation criteria, helping models navigate high-stakes scenarios while preserving their usefulness and capabilities.\nIn this role, you’ll:\nDevelop model policies that guide safe and useful behavior.\n\nBuild evaluations, identify policy gaps and model failures, and use findings to improve policies and training.\n\nWork with research, engineering, and domain experts to support safe, reliable deployment.\n\nYou might thrive in this role if you:\nBring relevant experience in AI safety, policy, or risk assessment.\n\nHave strong judgment and can turn complex safety questions into clear, practical policies.\n\nHave the technical fluency to work hands-on with model data and evaluations.\n\nAre motivated by OpenAI’s mission and the responsible use of AI in safety-critical settings.\n\nSecurity Requirements\nCandidates must be eligible and willing to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. An active clearance is not required at the time of hire, and OpenAI will sponsor the clearance process.\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.
