These systems are a combination of low-latency, high scale, high reliability, while being built in a financially correct, accurate, auditable and explainable way. This role sits at the intersection of ads delivery, data engineering, and financial systems. **In this role, you will:** * Architect and build the core monetization systems for ChatGPT Ads. * Build and operate the core services and pipelines that power ads monetization end-to-end, from event capture and validation through aggregation, pricing, metering, and ultimately producing billable outputs. * Define and implement the source of truth for ads monetization data, including schemas, data models, and invariants that ensure outputs are consistent, explainable, and auditable. * Own correctness and reconciliation: align production outputs with downstream invoicing/finance requirements, build controls/monitors, and close gaps through investigations and backfills. * Develop across the stack to create comprehensive billing integrations for our range of ChatGPT and API users. * Collaborate closely with a wide array of stakeholders, including the Ads Engineering, Data Science, Product, Finance, and Go-To-Market teams, as well as fellow engineers. **You might thrive in this role if you:** * Possess a minimum of 5 years of professional software engineering experience. * Bring significant experience in developing (and redeveloping) distributed systems to launch new product capabilities and to handle scaling challenges. * Enjoy engaging with various partners, particularly those outside of engineering. * Have a keen and innate desire to learn and acquire new skills, coupled with a strong ability to impart that knowledge clearly and succinctly to others. * Are deeply invested in creating an exceptional user experience, taking pride in crafting products that address customer needs. * Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines. * Experience with ads systems is a plus, but not required. **About OpenAI** OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.
