From the employer's listing (short excerpt)
ABOUT THE TEAM
OpenAI’s mission depends on developing and deploying powerful AI responsibly. Security makes that possible by protecting our research, people, products, and users while enabling progress. We defend sensitive research and other intellectual property, customer data, and the infrastructure behind frontier AI—from GPU supercomputing and multicloud environments to datacenters and emerging agent systems. Threat Detection Engineering builds and operates the detections and investigative workflows that turn adversary activity into effective response.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader to guide the engineers who identify and investigate threats to OpenAI and build the capabilities to contain them. You’ll hire and develop engineers, set technical direction, and prioritize risks to OpenAI’s intellectual property, customer data, and critical infrastructure.
Your team will take an agent-first approach across the detection and response lifecycle, using OpenAI’s models to develop detections, triage signals, investigate suspicious activity, and support bounded response and continuous improvement.
