Our work spans infrastructure, tooling, and user experiences, both on users’ devices and in the cloud. We partner with research to improve our models’ browser-use capabilities and with web standards bodies to shape how agents interact with the web. Our products include ChatGPT for Chrome, the ChatGPT in-app browser, and the cloud computer used in dots and ChatGPT Work.\nWe see the browser as a universal connector. If we can enable our models to use it effectively, they can do anything. Come help us build the future of browsing!\nAbout the role\nWe’re looking for a product-oriented engineer to build and scale our cloud computer infrastructure. Our goal is to give every one of our users access to an agent with their own computer in the cloud. Build novel solutions to problems like authentication, user takeover, and enterprise network access. You’ll help own the systems that provision, run, and manage the environments our agents use, making them reliable, responsive, and efficient as demand grows.\nThis role combines infrastructure depth with close attention to the user experience. You’ll partner with research and engineering teams to bring new computer-use capabilities into production, working across container orchestration, backend services, and product experiences.\nIn this role you will\nBuild and scale infrastructure for running agent-controlled browsers and computers in the cloud.\n\nDevelop services for provisioning environments, managing sessions, and coordinating their lifecycle.\n\nImprove reliability, performance, resource utilization, and observability across the fleet.\n\nDiagnose issues across Linux, containers, networking, and browser execution.\n\nBuild APIs and tooling that make cloud computers easy for research and product teams to use.\n\nWork closely with research to understand emerging requirements and improve how computer use works.\n\nDevelop authentication, credential management, and network access controls that protect user data and support interactions with websites and services.\n\nYour background might look something like\nExperience leading large-scale backend, platform, or infrastructure projects from ambiguous problem statements to production systems.\n\nProficiency in one or more backend languages such as Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, or similar, and the ability to move across service, platform, and product boundaries.\n\nStrong understanding of distributed systems, cloud platforms, and production reliability.\n\nOwn systems from initial design through deployment and scale.\n\nComfort with a fast-moving pace while caring for security and operational excellence.\n\nExperience with browser automation, remote computing environments, or infrastructure for AI agents would be especially relevant.\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.
