Team: Intelligence and Investigations
At OpenAI, we’re on a mission to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. As we continue to push the boundaries of AI systems, our Monitoring Operations team plays a crucial role in keeping our products safe and ensuring they are used responsibly. We are looking for a Data Scientist who will work at the intersection of product monitoring, safety, and investigations to proactively identify and mitigate abuse on our platforms.
What You'll Do:
???? Proactive Monitoring:
- Build and implement monitoring systems to detect and prevent abuse on OpenAI's products.
- Work closely with Product, Policy, and Engineering teams to define risks and ensure our monitoring tools are robust and ready for new product launches.
?? Sustain Monitoring Operations:
- Develop scalable, automated processes to improve monitoring of existing products.
- Continuously refine systems to handle complex data efficiently and mitigate emerging risks in real time.
???? Respond to Critical Escalations:
- Address urgent, high-priority escalations that may not be caught by current safety systems, involving sensitive or challenging content.
- Collaborate across teams to create data-backed safety policies and solutions.
What We're Looking For:
???? Experience:
- At least 4 years of experience doing technical analysis, particularly with SQL and Python.
- Strong background in trust and safety or experience collaborating with policy, enforcement, and engineering teams to manage abuse detection.
???? Technical Skills:
- Experience with basic data engineering (building core tables, writing data pipelines).
- Familiarity with scaling and automating processes, especially within AI and language models.
- Understanding of data systems and the ability to create tooling that supports real-time safety efforts.
???? Collaboration:
- You thrive in a cross-functional environment, working closely with engineering, policy, and product teams.
- Ability to communicate complex findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
