About the job
OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering team partners with customers to turn research breakthroughs into production systems, operating at the intersection of customer delivery and core platform development. Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) lead complex end-to-end deployments of frontier models in production alongside our most strategic customers. You will own discovery, technical scoping, system design, build, and production rollout, partnering directly with customer engineering and domain teams. Success will be measured through production adoption, measurable workflow impact, and eval-driven feedback that influences product and model roadmaps. You’ll work closely with our Product, Research, Partnerships, GRC, Security, and GTM teams.
Responsibilities
- Own technical delivery across multiple deployments from first prototype to stable production.
- Build full-stack systems that deliver customer value and sharpen how we learn.
- Embed closely with customer teams, understand their needs, and guide adoption of what you build.
- Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early.
- Make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality; adjust plans to protect delivery.
- Contribute directly in code when progress or clarity depends on it.
- Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks that others can use.
- Share field feedback that helps Research and Product understand where the models succeed and where they can improve.
- Keep teams moving through clarity and follow-through.
Requirements
- Fluent in business-level Korean.
- 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience including customer-facing work.
- Experience scoping and delivering complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous environments.
- Proficiency in writing and reviewing production-grade code across frontend and backend using Python, JavaScript, or comparable stacks.
- Experience building or deploying systems powered by LLMs or generative models and understanding how model behavior affects product experience.
- Ability to simplify complexity and make fast, sound decisions under pressure.
- Clear communication with engineers, product teams, and customer stakeholders.
- Ability to spot risks early and adjust without slowing down.
- Ability to model calm and judgment when the stakes are high.
Benefits
- Hybrid work model (3 days in office per week)
- Relocation assistance
