Openai 4.2
Senior principal scientist job in San Francisco, CA
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 physics 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
