About this role

Software Engineer, System Enablement San Francisco, California, United States, Seattle About the Team The Scaling team is responsible for the architectural and engineering backbone of OpenAI's infrastructure. We design and deliver advanced systems that support the deployment and operation of cutting-edge AI models. Our work spans system software, networking, platform architecture, fleet-level monitoring, and performance optimization. About the Role We're looking for an engineer who can take early, sometimes messy, pre-production hardware and make it “real”: bootstrapped, stable, imaged, joined to the right Kubernetes control plane, registered correctly, scheduled, and observable. You'll sit at the intersection of early HW bring-up, provisioning automation, fleet/cluster management systems, and lab or cloud provider integration-turning new SKUs into capacity that is usable by internal customers. Key Responsibilities - Own the end-to-end bring-up and bootstrap path for new systems and compute nodes from bare metal/early access in lab or production/cloud environments to schedulable fleet capacity : image build, user-data/config, cluster join, and readiness gates. - Build and maintain “first-class” golden image + provisioning workflows across lab, and production environments, including working with partner-provided base images and reconciling OS/version requirements. - Work with partner teams to integrate nodes into our fleet infrastructure and IaC pipelines (Terraform, Chef, etc.), ensuring cloud resources map cleanly onto our internal lifecycle expectations (e.g., VMSS/instance pools, image references). - Partner with scheduling and platform owners to ensure new hardware is reachable and scheduled (pool definitions, network/WAN connectivity/routing, admission controls, platform-specific quirks), including cases where new SKUs require changes for scheduling integration.
