I'm urgently looking for a few Data Engineers (not Data Analysts) to join us Finance @ OpenAI on 6 months contracts immediately. Ideally someone Junior, around 2 to 4 yoe (Big Tech / FAANG experience preferred in this case). To be respectful of your time, I'll be direct: 1) We are unable to sponsor for contract roles unfortunately, I'm so sorry. Hence you must bring valid work authorization. 2) Please do not accept if you’re expecting a FTE conversion. It ain't fair to dangle it like a carrot in front of you, to manage your expectations. 3) Be willing to come onsite to the office at either our San Francisco, NYC or Bellevue locations. Meals are provided 😉 4) Must have PySpark/big data experience + strong proficiency in SQL (there will be at least 2 technical screens). I can also add that there will be LESS of an emphasis on BI analytics, deep dive analysis, frontend dashboarding Metrics reporting bla bla. To clarify, we do NOT train ML models as well. These roles have nothing to do with Research either. What you would be doing: frankly whatever it takes to enable OpenAI’s CFO Org to meet its business goals, and accelerate our ambitious roadmap. I will definitely share such exciting plans and get into the specific details whenever we do an Intro. Why even join us: regardless of how “Tech forward” or “AI-pilled” your current work environment is, my pitch to you is that: if I can say so, it’s an entirely different experience building and shipping at one of the Frontier Labs. From Kepler to Codex, to recently launched Sites coupled with $Skills & @plugins, come take up this chance to learn beyond just data engineering and be mentored by my Tech Leads: Andrew Escay, Adam McDonald and Noah Dickson whom you would be reporting into individually. We move lightning fast, if such an opportunity appeals to you and you’re a strong candidate, do send your resume to me directly thanks! (my sincere apologies, forgive me as I may not be able to reply everybody because of sheer volume 😅)
