Researcher, Loss of Control
ABOUT THE TEAM The Safety Systems org ensures that OpenAI’s most capable models can be responsibly developed and deployed. We build evaluations, safeguards, and safety frameworks that help our models behave as intended in real-world settings. The Preparedness team is an important part of the Safety Systems https://openai.com/safety/safety-systems org at OpenAI, and is guided by OpenAI’s Preparedness Framework https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/. Frontier AI models have the potential to benefit all of humanity, but also pose increasingly severe risks. To ensure that AI promotes positive change, the Preparedness team helps us prepare for the development of increasingly capable frontier AI models. This team is tasked with identifying, tracking, and preparing for catastrophic risks related to frontier AI models. The mission of the Preparedness team is to: 1. Closely monitor and predict the evolving capabilities of frontier AI systems, with an eye towards risks whose impact could be catastrophic 2. Ensure we have concrete procedures, infrastructure and partnerships to mitigate these risks and to safely handle the development of powerful AI systems Preparedness tightly connects capability assessment, evaluations, and internal red teaming, and mitigations for frontier models, as well as overall coordination on AGI preparedness. This is fast paced, exciting work that has far reaching importance for the company and for society. ABOUT THE ROLE As frontier AI systems become more capable, they are increasingly able to pursue long-horizon goals, use tools, adapt to feedback, and operate with greater autonomy. These advances create enormous potential benefits, but they also introduce the risk that models may behave in ways that are misaligned, deceptive, or difficult to supervise or contain. Reducing loss of control risk is therefore a core challenge for safely developing and deploying advanced AI systems. As a Researcher for loss of control mitigations, you will help design and implement an end-to-end mitigation stack to reduce the risk of intentionally subversive or insufficiently controllable model behavior across OpenAI’s products and internal deployments. This role requires strong technical depth and close cross-functional collaboration to ensure safeguards are enforceable, scalable, and effective. You’ll contribute directly to building protections that remain robust as model capabilities, deployment patterns, and threat models evolve. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Design and implement mitigation components for loss of control risk—spanning prevention, monitoring, detection, containment, and enforcement—under the guidance of senior technical and risk leadership. - Integrate safeguards across product and research surfaces in partnership with product, engineering, and research teams, helping ensure protections are consistent, low-latency, and resilient as usage and model autonomy increase. - Evaluate technical trade-offs within the loss of control domain (coverage, robustness, latency, model utility, and operational complexity) and propose pragmatic, testable solutions. - Collaborate closely with risk modeling, evaluations, and policy partners to align mitigation design with anticipated failure modes and high-severity threat scenarios, including deceptive alignment, hidden subgoals, reward hacking, and attempts to evade oversight. - Execute rigorous testing and red-teaming workflows, helping stress-test the mitigation stack against increasingly capable and potentially subversive model behaviors—such as sandbagging, monitor evasion, exploit-seeking, unsafe tool use, or strategic deception—and iterate based on findings. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Have a passion for AI safety and are motivated to make cutting-edge AI models safer for real-world use. - Bring demonstrated experience in deep learning and transformer models. - Are proficient with frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. - Possess a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles. - Are familiar with methods for training and fine-tuning large language models, including distillation, supervised fine-tuning, and policy optimization. - Excel at working collaboratively with cross-functional teams across research, policy, product, and engineering. - Have significant experience designing and evaluating technical safeguards, control mechanisms, or monitoring systems for advanced AI behavior. - (Nice to have) Bring background knowledge in alignment, control, interpretability, robustness, adversarial ML, or related fields.

Applied AI Engineer, Codex Core Agent
About the Team The Codex Core Agent team builds the kernel of Codex. We own making the agent better, accelerating research, and making those improvements real in production for our users. That means working across the systems that make Codex actually function as an agent in the real world: the production performance envelope around tokens, latency, reliability, cost, and capacity; the core execution loop and interfaces that turn models into useful behavior; the shared infrastructure that enables other teams to build on Codex; and the feedback loops that turn real-world usage into better models and better agent behavior over time. About the Role We’re looking for applied AI engineers to help bring Codex agents from impressive demos to dependable tools. This role is about improving agent performance on real software engineering tasks and closing the gap between research capability and real-world usefulness. You’ll work closely with research, infrastructure, and product to ensure agents are not just powerful, but useful, steerable, and reliable in practice. The job is not only to improve model behavior in isolation, but to turn those improvements into measurable gains in solve rate, usefulness, and economic value for users. What You’ll Do - Design and iterate on agent behaviors across real-world coding tasks and long-horizon workflows. - Work closely with research to develop and run evals to measure agent performance, regressions, failure modes, and edge cases. - Improve performance through prompting, tool-use strategies, context construction, and model-facing experimentation. - Analyze failures in production and systematically improve robustness and reliability. - Build feedback loops and data systems that get better real-task data into evaluation and research. - Work with product teams to shape user-facing agent experiences and the interfaces the agent depends on. - Help define what “good” looks like for agents completing complex tasks end-to-end. You Might Be a Good Fit If You - Have experience building or shipping machine learning or LLM-powered products. - Are strong in Python and comfortable with modern ML tooling. - Have worked on model evaluation, fine-tuning, or prompt design. - Think in terms of systems and user outcomes, not just model metrics. - Enjoy debugging messy, real-world failures and turning them into improvements. - Want to work in the layer that turns research and model potential into systems that actually work for users. Bonus Points - Experience with agent frameworks or tool-using LLM systems. - Research experiencewith code generation models or developer tooling. - Experience working with large, messy datasets or production logs.
