About the role

We’re hiring a service designer to shape how investigative cases move through OpenAI, from the first signal through review and action. You’ll work alongside investigators to understand what each case requires and how the overall workflow shapes what investigators can accomplish. You’ll bring that perspective to the people who shape investigative operations and the engineers who build the underlying systems. Together, you’ll decide where a change would help and see how it works in real cases. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of relevant experience in service design or closely related roles, with demonstrated ownership of improvements to complex operational workflows from research through implementation and evaluation
  • A bachelor’s degree in Service Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong qualitative research and synthesis skills, with the ability to combine insights from investigators and analysts with operational data to identify bottlenecks, inform priorities, and improve decision-making
  • Experience designing across internal tools, SME workflows, and systems, including how information, evidence, and decisions move between teams
  • Proven experience leading ambiguous projects across product, engineering, operations, and policy teams, translating evolving risks and needs into practical solutions
  • Experience using AI tools to support research synthesis, explore service design options, and prototype workflows, with sound judgment about sensitive information, output validation, and decisions that require human review
More about this role

The Intelligence and Investigations (I2) team provides intelligence to decision makers across OpenAI and investigates severe misuse of our products. I2’s work saves lives: we disrupt real-world violence, protect children, and prevent catastrophic harms from AI misuse. We draw on our investigations and in-depth analysis of a wide range of data sources to provide actionable quantitative and qualitative intelligence to OpenAI’s leadership.

Our analysts and investigators make sense of complex data to understand emerging risks and investigate severe misuse. They work closely with engineers who build tools that extend what human experts can see and do. The design of the investigative workflow shapes how effectively people can use those tools and act on what they learn.
