OpenAI

As a researcher on Frontier Assurance, you will build the technical foundations for rigorous assessments of frontier AI risks. You will help design technical assessments with external evaluators and internal teams, identifying consequential safety claims to test, defining the evidence and methods needed to assess them, and addressing gaps in coverage. You will work closely with external evaluators and embedded auditors, helping them understand the systems they are assessing and access the models, data, and technical information their work requires. Where direct access is not possible, you will conduct experiments and analyses on their behalf, with methods and results they can meaningfully scrutinize. This role combines research engineering, experimental design, and close technical collaboration, moving between investigating specific safety questions, navigating complex internal systems, and building reusable tools that make assessments more thorough and efficient. Your work will help turn independent scrutiny into concrete evidence about model capabilities, safeguards, and remaining risks.
