At OpenAI, we’re building safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) that benefits all of humanity. That mission depends on hiring exceptional people across research, engineering, product, policy, and operations — at scale, globally, and with a high bar for quality.
The Recruiting Operations team provides the systems, workflows, and data foundation that power that hiring. Within Recruiting Operations, the Systems & Enablement team owns the recruiting technology ecosystem — ensuring our ATS, offer workflows, and connected tools are reliable, well-governed, and user centric.
We are building a team of Systems & Enablement Leads who together operate, evolve, and support the tooling ecosystem that runs hiring at OpenAI.
As a Systems & Enablement Lead, you will be one of the core owners of OpenAI’s recruiting systems. You’ll be responsible for a set of workflows, tools, and operational domains within our ATS and recruiting platform, while partnering closely with recruiters, coordinators, People Analytics, HR Operations, Legal, and IT.
This is a highly hands-on role for someone who enjoys being deep in systems while also driving clarity, training, and consistency across a large organization. You’ll help ensure that recruiting teams can move fast within reliable systems and processes — and that the data and workflows behind every hire are accurate and reliable.
