OpenAI is pushing artificial intelligence to unprecedented scale. We have a large cloud footprint and run some of the biggest Kubernetes clusters in the world. As our scale has grown, so has the surface area we need to protect. While advanced AI can benefit the world, in the wrong hands, it can also be used maliciously.

Your job will be to protect our work from those who seek to misuse it.

We’re looking for a Head of Security to build out security engineering efforts across our organization. You will define our security strategy for application, cloud, and corporate security, create models for both external and insider threats, hire a small but focused team, and work alongside them to protect our unique information assets.

We’re a small company and we want to stay small. We need a hands-on leader who is excited to work on our hardest technical problems and who executes effectively and relentlessly to keep our systems secure.

We’re building safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and ensuring it leads to a good outcome for humans. We believe that unreasonably great results are best delivered by a highly creative group working in concert. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
