More about this role
OpenAI’s Industrial Compute organization is responsible for ensuring our compute infrastructure scales efficiently to support millions of users and increasingly sophisticated AI models.
We’re looking for a Data Scientist to partner closely with Capacity Systems Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, and Research to optimize inference capacity across our global GPU fleet. This role combines statistical modeling, large-scale data analysis, forecasting, and systems thinking to drive critical decisions around infrastructure investments, performance-efficiency trade-offs, and customer experience.
You’ll transform complex operational data into actionable insights that directly influence how OpenAI allocates and scales one of the world’s largest AI compute environments.
Build statistical and machine learning models to profile and improve GPU utilization, latency, throughput, and overall fleet efficiency.
Develop forecasting models for inference demand across products, regions, and model families.
Analyze production workloads to identify latency bottlenecks and capacity constraints, highlighting optimization opportunities.
