About the Team

Within the OpenAI Security organization, our IT team works to ensure our diverse team of researchers, engineers, and staff have the tools they need to work comfortably, securely, and with minimal interruptions. As an IT Engineer, you will work in a highly technical and employee-focused environment.

Our IT team is a small and nimble team, where you’ll have the opportunity to dive into a wide breadth of areas and build from the ground up. We’re well-supported and well-resourced, and are able to continuously grow our offerings to better support our teams.

About the Role

As a Corporate Security Engineer, you will be responsible for implementing and managing the security of OpenAI's internal information systems’ infrastructure and processes.

• Contribute to and enforce OpenAI’s IT and Security policies and procedures.


• Monitor internal and third-party systems for security threats and respond to alerts.


• Implement zero trust principles to improve security and developer productivity.


• Innovate using AI to develop novel security capabilities and solutions.


• Contribute to OpenAI's security roadmap by staying up to date with the latest security threats, and making recommendations for improving our security posture.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• Experience in protecting and managing MacOS fleets.


• Experience deploying and managing endpoint security solutions (e.g. management frameworks, EDR tools).


• Experience with public cloud service providers (e.g. Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure).


• Experience with identity and access management frameworks and protocols, including SAML, OAUTH, and SCIM.


• Experience with e-mail security protocols (e.g. SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and controls.


• Intermediate or better proficiency with a scripting language (e.g. PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar).


• Knowledge of modern adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures.


• Ability to empathize and collaborate with colleagues, independently manage and run projects, and prioritize efforts for risk reduction.

This is an onsite role and will require 5 days a week in our San Francisco office.
