Manage infrastructure operations systems and governance to ensure scalable execution and translate leadership strategy into executable goals. | 8+ years in technical program management or operations, bachelor's degree, experience leading systems implementations and governance. | About the Team OpenAI's Industrial Compute organization is building and operating the infrastructure foundation for the next generation of AI. Infrastructure Operations works across facilities, hardware, network operations, incident management, data center engineering, delivery teams, and external partners to bring capacity online safely, understand its operational state, and improve it over time. As OpenAI's data center portfolio grows across first-party and partner-delivered capacity, the organization needs clear goals, trusted data, repeatable processes, and systems that make ownership, risk, readiness, and performance visible. This role will help build the operating mechanisms that allow Infrastructure Operations to scale with rigor. About the Role We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to own the systems, data, reporting, governance, and program-management backbone for Infrastructure Operations. Reporting to the Delivery & Operations Lead, you will translate strategy into executable goals and operating cadences, turn operational needs into software and data solutions, and create the mechanisms that keep a rapidly evolving organization aligned and accountable. This role will also own the current 1P+3P delivery-tracking layer within Operations: milestones, delivery timelines, quantity forecasts, risks, decisions, and executive reporting. You will partner closely with 1P Delivery Program Management, Compute TPMs, Data Center Engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations leaders to ensure that delivery information becomes complete, usable input for readiness, handover, and ongoing operations. You will own program health and the operating system around it: the goals, data definitions, workflows, reporting, decision paths, and follow-through that help functional DRIs execute. The ideal candidate is comfortable in ambiguity, technically fluent enough to implement real systems, and relentless about converting scattered information into durable mechanisms. Key Responsibilities Establish and run Infrastructure Operations' goal-setting and operating cadence, including quarterly goals, weekly performance reviews, prioritization, action tracking, decision logs, escalation paths, and closure criteria. Translate leadership priorities into clear programs with owners, milestones, dependencies, success metrics, and resourcing assumptions; maintain source-of-truth hygiene across goals, status, dates, risks, and decisions. Build and operate dashboards, scorecards, and executive-ready reporting for operational health, capacity readiness, SLA and MTTR performance, delivery pipeline status, and material risks. Define authoritative data models and reporting standards for milestones, timelines, delivery risk, capacity state, readiness, handover, exceptions, and operational performance; drive consistent adoption across the portfolio. Own the 1P+3P delivery-tracking program across sites and partners, integrating schedule and progress inputs, maintaining quantity and timeline forecasts, surfacing risks early, and driving cross-functional follow-through. Define Operations' requirements for capacity acceptance and operational handover, including readiness evidence, risk and exception workflows, approvals, sign-offs, and post-handover action tracking. Own the Information Governance Process and controlled-document lifecycle across relevant Operations workflows, including standards, procedures, work instructions, templates, ownership, approvals, versioning, exceptions, and obsolescence. Lead operations software and tooling implementations from discovery through rollout: map workflows, write requirements, design data and integration patterns, partner with engineering and vendors, test solutions, and drive adoption. Improve the connections among reporting, ticketing, knowledge, delivery-tracking, sourcing, and operational systems so teams can work from consistent data instead of manual, fragmented updates. Program-manage cross-functional initiatives across Infrastructure Operations and its interfaces with Data Center Engineering, Compute TPMs, 1P Delivery, construction, commissioning, sourcing, and external infrastructure partners. Coordinate internal and external resources supporting systems, dashboards, process design, and document governance; make dependencies and ownership explicit while keeping functional DRIs accountable for their domains. Capture lessons learned, identify recurring operational bottlenecks, and implement automation and process improvements that make the organization more predictable, scalable, and effective. Qualifications Have 8+ years of experience in technical program management, operations program management, infrastructure delivery, operations transformation, or a comparable role in a complex technical environment. Have led end-to-end software or systems implementations for an operations organization, including workflow discovery, requirements, data models, integrations, testing, rollout, adoption, and continuous improvement. Are fluent with dashboards, KPIs, operational data, and executive reporting; you can turn incomplete inputs into clear definitions, trusted metrics, and decisions. Have built governance mechanisms that work in practice: goal-setting, operating reviews, intake and prioritization, risk and issue management, action tracking, decision logs, and escalation. Bring experience with data centers, construction, commissioning, infrastructure operations, cloud, manufacturing, or another mission-critical physical-infrastructure environment. Can influence across senior leaders, technical DRIs, vendors, and partner organizations without relying on direct authority, and communicate clearly from working-team detail to executive summary. Are comfortable navigating ambiguity, changing ownership boundaries, urgent timelines, and high operational stakes while maintaining rigor and momentum. Hold a bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Construction Management, Operations Management, Business, or an equivalent combination of education and practical experience. Preferred Skills Experience with hyperscale or AI infrastructure, including 1P, 3P, colocation, or CSP delivery models. Familiarity with project controls, scheduling, operational readiness, commissioning, capacity acceptance, SLA/MTTR reporting, incident or ticketing workflows, and handover governance. Technical fluency with APIs, integration patterns, BI/reporting tools, workflow platforms, data quality controls, and automation; SQL or equivalent analytical skills are a plus. Experience managing vendors, consultants, or embedded support resources and converting ad hoc support into repeatable operating capability.

Lead development of Codex security controls and partner interfaces to secure AI systems and build a partner ecosystem. | Requires deep technical product management experience in security, identity, authorization, and enterprise integrations. | About the Team OpenAI's Cyber team works to make frontier AI safe, trusted, and transformative for developers and enterprises. This team is building the security foundation for Codex: the native controls that govern what Codex can access and do, and the interfaces that allow customers and security partners to inspect, constrain, approve, and respond to Codex activity. Our goal is to make Codex secure by default, governable by enterprises, and interoperable with the security products customers already trust. This extends the existing product direction around tenant-scoped tools, guarded actions, approval systems, and scalable partner interfaces. About the Role We are looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to help build Codex security controls and the partner ecosystem around them. This role focuses on securing Codex itself: how identity, permissions, tools, MCP servers, repositories, secrets, networks, and high-impact actions are governed across Codex products. You will also help define standard interfaces through which authorized customer and partner systems can provide security context, inspect activity, return policy decisions, receive telemetry, and initiate bounded responses. You will work closely with Codex product and engineering, OpenAI Security and Safety, enterprise customers, and partners across application security, identity, cloud security, data security, infrastructure, and security operations. In this Role you Will Build native security controls for Codex Partner with engineering, design, security, and safety teams to develop controls for: • Identity, roles, permissions, and tenant isolation. • Access to repositories, files, tools, MCP servers, secrets, networks, and infrastructure. • Read, write, execute, and deployment authority. • Human and policy-based approvals. • Prompt-injection and untrusted-content defenses. • Audit trails, provenance, stop conditions, revocation, and rollback. Help establish a graduated authority model in which local, read-only, and reversible actions require less friction than actions involving production systems, credentials, sensitive data, or irreversible changes. Define partner interfaces Develop common, versioned interfaces that allow customer-selected security products to participate in Codex workflows. These interfaces may support: • Sharing trusted identity, task, resource, and environment context. • Inspecting code, commands, artifacts, tool calls, or planned actions. • Returning allow, deny, constrain, or require-approval decisions. • Exporting normalized execution and security telemetry. • Pausing activity, revoking access, or requiring reauthorization. Define clear requirements for authentication, authorization, customer consent, data minimization, latency, retries, failure behavior, auditability, and backwards compatibility. Ensure integrations use shared platform contracts rather than creating a different Codex architecture for every partner. Build the partner ecosystem Work directly with security vendors and enterprise design partners to turn the interfaces into production integrations. Create partner SDKs, reference implementations, technical documentation, test environments, conformance suites, and certification requirements. Prioritize partners based on customer value, technical relevance, deployment readiness, and their ability to improve the shared platform-not simply logo value or launch timing. Turn lessons from individual partner engagements into reusable product capabilities. Shape the customer experience Define how enterprise administrators configure and understand Codex security controls, including: • Policies by user, workspace, repository, environment, tool, or action. • Approved security providers and permitted data sharing. • Approval requirements and time-limited exceptions. • Policy inheritance and conflict resolution. • Audit, investigation, and incident-response workflows. Ensure developers receive clear, actionable explanations when an action is blocked or requires approval, rather than an opaque policy error. Establish evaluation and launch gates Work with security, safety, research, and engineering teams to test whether controls work under realistic and adversarial conditions. Evaluate risks such as permission bypass, prompt injection, malicious tools, secret exposure, cross-tenant access, stale authorization, partner outages, conflicting decisions, and incomplete audit evidence. Help determine when new Codex capabilities have sufficient controls, reliability, and usability for broader deployment. You Might Thrive in This Role If You • Have built enterprise security, developer-platform, infrastructure, or control-plane products. • Understand identity, authorization, sandboxing, secrets, tool use, APIs, and audit systems. • Think naturally in terms of trust boundaries, failure modes, and abuse paths. • Can balance security, developer productivity, latency, reliability, and customer control. • Have experience building integrations across complex enterprise systems or partner ecosystems. • Can turn conflicting partner requirements into a coherent platform. • Communicate credibly with developers, security architects, CISOs, researchers, and partner product teams. • Prefer measurable security outcomes and real adoption over demonstrations or integration announcements. Nice to Have • Experience in application security, identity, cloud security, data security, source control, CI/CD, SIEM, or enterprise governance. • Familiarity with RBAC, ABAC, policy-as-code, OAuth, OIDC, workload identity, or secrets management. • Experience with AI agents, MCP, sandboxed execution, prompt-injection defenses, or agent-security evaluations. • Experience building SDKs, developer platforms, integration marketplaces, or certification programs. What Success Looks Like During your first six months, you will have helped establish: • A clear roadmap for native Codex controls and partner-extensible controls. • A common architecture for security context, policy decisions, inspection, telemetry, and response. • Initial reference integrations with a focused group of partners. • Evaluation and launch criteria for high-risk Codex capabilities. • Baseline measures for control coverage, bypass resistance, latency, reliability, and developer experience. During your first year, you will have helped ship meaningful controls across sensitive Codex workflows, brought standardized partner interfaces into production use, and demonstrated that enterprises can grant Codex greater authority without sacrificing visibility, control, or accountability.
