The Account & Platform Integrity team protects OpenAI’s ecosystem from fraud, impersonation, abuse, and account-level threats. We help ensure that the people and organizations using OpenAI are legitimate, that access is used appropriately, and that bad actors are prevented from exploiting our platform.
We operate at the intersection of fraud prevention, identity, access, compliance, and abuse detection. Our team partners closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Go-To-Market, Support, and Security to identify emerging threats, investigate suspicious behavior, and build durable controls that protect OpenAI’s users, revenue, and reputation across all of OpenAIs products.

In this role, you will lead complex investigations involving stolen credentials, synthetic or deceptive accounts, payment fraud, coordinated abuse, impersonation, misuse of API access, and other high-risk behaviors. You will combine investigative judgment with deep analytical work, leveraging OpenAI’s internal tools, product signals, data systems, and emerging AI capabilities to detect threats early and make high-quality enforcement decisions.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on investigations and using advanced tools to uncover patterns, scale operations, and improve how fraud is detected across a rapidly evolving platform.
