    Research scientist job at OpenAI

    About the Team The Strategic Deployment team makes frontier models more capable, reliable, and aligned to transform high-impact domains. On one hand, this involves deploying models in real-world, high-stakes settings to drive AI-driven transformation and elicit insights-training data, evaluation methods, and techniques-to shape our frontier model development. On the other hand, we leverage these learnings to build the science and engineering of impactful frontier model deployment. As a key element of this effort, OpenAI for Science aims to harness AI to accelerate the process of scientific research. This involves building models and an AI-powered platform that speeds up discovery and helps researchers everywhere do more, faster. About the Role As a Research Scientist focused on the mathematical sciences, you will help build models, tools, and workflows that move theoretical research-in fields such as mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer science-forward. You'll design domain-specific data and signals, shape training and evaluation, guide how to wire models to scientific tools, and work with the academic community to speed up adoption and impact. We're looking for people who… * Hold a current or recent academic position in mathematical sciences (mathematics, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science) or a related field * Regularly use frontier models in their own research * Move easily between theory and code, and are eager to contribute technically as well as academically * Either know or are eager to learn modern AI and run AI experiments end-to-end * Are strong scientific communicators * Care about rigor and reproducibility in scientific results This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. In this role, you will * Assist in designing and building frontier AI models that are great at solving frontier mathematical sciences problems * Build high-quality scientific datasets and synthetic data pipelines (symbolic, numeric, and simulator-based) * Design reinforcement and grading signals for mathematical sciences and run reinforcement learning/optimization loops to improve model reasoning * Define and run evals for scientific reasoning, derivations, simulations, and literature grounding; track progress over time * Partner with research labs and the academic community * Drive adoption of frontier AI within the scientific community * Uphold high standards for safety, data governance, and reproducibility You might thrive in this role if you * Are passionate about pushing the boundaries of your field using AI * Have used ChatGPT to do calculations and prove or improve lemmas in your field of study * Communicate clearly to both scientists and AI engineers; you like collaborating across teams and with academia Nice to have * Open-source contributions to mathematical science or AI tooling * Experience building or curating domain datasets and benchmarks * Experience engaging a research community (teaching, workshops, tutorials, standards) About OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.

  • Research Engineer / Research Scientist - Foundations Retrieval Lead

    Openai 4.2company rating

    Research scientist job at OpenAI

    About the Team The Foundations Research team works on high-risk, high-reward ideas that could shape the next decade of AI. Our goal is to advance the science and data that enable our training and scaling efforts, with a particular focus on future frontier models. Pushing the boundaries of data, scaling laws, optimization techniques, model architectures, and efficiency improvements to propel our science. About the Role We're looking for a technical research lead to grow and lead our embeddings-focused retrieval efforts. You'll manage a team of world-class research scientists and engineers developing foundational technology that enables models to retrieve and condition on the right information, at the right time. This includes designing new embedding training objectives, scalable vector store architectures, and dynamic indexing methods. This work will support retrieval across many OpenAI products and internal research efforts, with opportunities for scientific publication and deep technical impact. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. Responsibilities * Lead research into embedding models and retrieval systems optimized for grounding, relevance, and adaptive reasoning. * Manage a team of researchers and engineers building end-to-end infrastructure for training, evaluating, and integrating embeddings into frontier models. * Drive innovation in dense, sparse, and hybrid representation techniques, metric learning, and learning-to-retrieve systems. * Collaborate closely with Pretraining, Inference, and other Research teams to integrate retrieval throughout the model lifecycle * Contribute to OpenAI's long-term vision of AI systems with memory and knowledge access capabilities rooted in learned representations. You Might Thrive in This Role If You Have * Proven experience leading high-performance teams of researchers or engineers in ML infrastructure or foundational research. * Deep technical expertise in representation learning, embedding models, or vector retrieval systems. * Familiarity with transformer-based LLMs and how embedding spaces can interact with language model objectives. * Research experience in areas such as contrastive learning, supervised or unsupervised embedding learning, or metric learning. * A track record of building or scaling large machine learning systems, particularly embedding pipelines in production or research contexts. * A first-principles mindset for challenging assumptions about how retrieval and memory should work for large models.
