3P Architect

We work across the full stack—from silicon to system integration—partnering closely with internal teams and external vendors to define and deliver next-generation AI infrastructure. Define rack- and cluster-level reference architectures for AI infrastructure deployments.Translate workload requirements into clear system design specifications and partner deliverables.Collaborate with performance modeling teams to evaluate architectural tradeoffs and system behaviors.Align internal stakeholders and external partners on critical system attributes (performance, cost, power, reliability, scalability).Identify gaps in current technology offerings and drive vendors (ODM/JDM, silicon, networking) to close those gaps.Influence and shape vendor roadmaps to meet future infrastructure needs.Track emerging technologies and evaluate their applicability to AI systems.Define and lead proof-of-concept (PoC) efforts to validate new architectures and technologies.Act as a key interface between OpenAI and external partners, ensuring execution against design intent. Have strong experience in system architecture for large-scale infrastructure or data center environments.Understand AI workload characteristics and how they map to system-level design decisions.Are comfortable working with performance modeling outputs to inform architectural direction.Have experience working with or managing hardware vendors (ODM/JDM, silicon, networking).Can drive alignment across multiple stakeholders with competing constraints.Have a track record of turning ambiguous requirements into clear, executable system designs.Are proactive in identifying gaps and driving solutions across organizational boundaries. For unincorporated Los Angeles County workers: we reasonably believe that criminal history may have a direct, adverse and negative relationship with the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of a conditional offer of employment: protect computer hardware entrusted to you from theft, loss or damage; return all computer hardware in your possession (including the data contained therein) upon termination of employment or end of assignment; and maintain the confidentiality of proprietary, confidential, and non-public information. At OpenAI, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to help people solve immense global challenges, and we want the upside of AI to be widely shared.
