Software Engineer, Platform Systems | OpenAI

Scaling - London, UK

About the Team

The Platform Systems team at OpenAI operates at the intersection of cutting‑edge AI and large‑scale distributed systems. We build the engineering and research infrastructure required to train OpenAI’s flagship models on some of the world’s largest, custom‑built supercomputers.

Our team develops core model training software and works deep in the stack - spanning collective communication, compute efficiency, parallelism strategies, fault tolerance, failure detection, and observability. The systems we build are foundational to OpenAI’s research velocity, enabling reliable, efficient training at frontier scale.

We collaborate closely with researchers across the organization, continuously incorporating learnings from across OpenAI into the evolution of our training platform.
