We work on open-ended research projects to enable successful products. We care about solving real-world problems, while keeping our products up to a high safety standard. We care about applications driven by user feedback, as well as long-term research ​​with significant impacts on the product.

About the Role

To help API users monitor and prevent unwanted use cases, we developed the moderation endpoint, a tool for checking whether content complies with OpenAI's content policy. Developers can thus identify content that our content policy prohibits and take actions (e.g. block it). We seek a Machine Learning Engineer to help design and build a robust pipeline for data management, model training and deployment to enable a consistent improvement on the Moderation model. 

In this role, you will:

• Design, develop and maintain a robust and scalable data management pipeline and set up standards for versioning and data quality control. The pipeline should be able to handle data relabeling requests due to content policy changes.
• Build a pipeline for automated model training, evaluation and deployment, including active learning process, routines for calibration and validation data refresh etc.
• Work closely with stakeholders from product, engineering, content policy on a long-term improvement over the moderation models, for both external release and internal use cases across a variety of projects on model safety.
• Research on the latest techniques and methods in deep learning and natural language processing to improve the moderation model across a collection of unwanted content categories.
• Experiment on data augmentation and data generation methods to enhance the diversity and quality of training data.
• Experiment and design an effective red-teaming pipeline to examine the robustness of the model and identify areas for future improvement.
• Conduct open-ended research to improve the quality of collected data, including but not limited to, semi-supervised learning and human-in-the-loop machine learning.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 3+ years industry experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or Software Engineer, working on building data pipelines, training and deploying machine learning models in production on a daily basis.
• Care deeply about AI safety and passionate about building the best deep learning empowered moderation model to effectively detect unwanted content.
• Have a strong belief in the criticality of high-quality data and are highly motivated to work with the associated challenges.
• Have experience working in large distributed systems, deep learning or/and natural language processing is a big plus.
• Love working with a team.

About the Team

Our mission at OpenAI is to discover and enact the path to safe, beneficial AGI. To do this, we believe that many technical breakthroughs are needed in generative modeling, reinforcement learning, large scale optimization, active learning, among other topics.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer, you will help build AI systems that can perform previously impossible tasks or achieve outstanding levels of performance. This requires good engineering (for example designing, implementing, and optimizing state-of-the-art AI models), writing bug-free machine learning code (surprisingly difficult!), and building the science behind the algorithms employed. In all the projects this role pursues, the ultimate goal is to push the field forward.

The Research Acceleration team builds high-quality research tools and frameworks to increase research productivity across OpenAI, with the goal of accelerating progress towards AGI. We frequently collaborate with other teams to speed up the development of new state-of-the-art capabilities. For example, we recently collaborated with our Codegen research team on the Codex model, which can generate code in Python and many other languages.

Do you love research tools, training frameworks, and collaborating on cutting-edge AI models? If so, this role is for you! We are looking for people who are self-directed and enjoy determining the most meaningful problem to solve in order to accelerate our research.

We're looking for a track record of:

• 3+ years of relevant software engineering experience
• Owning problems end-to-end, with a willingness to pick up whatever knowledge is missing to get the job done
• Some demonstrated interest in ML
• Bonus: contributions to an AI framework such as PyTorch or Tensorflow.
