Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) - AI Infra - SF

Forward Deployed Engineers lead complex deployments of frontier models in production. You will embed with customers where model performance matters, delivery is urgent, and ambiguity is the default. You will use this to map their problems, structure delivery, and ship fast.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer for AI Infra, you will work directly with customer engineers, researchers and product engineers on optimization problems across semiconductors and AI infrastructure. You will write and debug software, run experiments against real workloads and hardware, and improve the tools and product used across engagements.

You will help define the problem and success criteria, build the software needed to test an approach, and stay with the work through validation and deployment. Work may include inference performance and chip-design optimization. Success means producing results that stand up to correctness and performance checks, and contributing improvements that other engagements can use.

Success in this role means owning the delivery state across workstreams. You will hold the bar on quality and pace and help OpenAI learn through execution.
