Technical Program Manager, Research Compute Services

About the Team

Research Compute Services builds the systems that help researchers use OpenAI’s compute fleet effectively. We partner with Research and Compute Infrastructure to support workloads across the compute stack, including pretraining, synthetic data generation, sampling, research inference, and reinforcement learning.

Our work connects changing research needs with capacity planning, allocation, and scheduling. We build tools and services that help researchers express their compute needs, access the right resources, and run their workloads effectively. As the fleet and our research ambitions grow, we continually improve how compute is planned, allocated, and used.

About the Role

You will be part of an engineer-first TPM team, partnering closely with the Research Compute Services team. Your primary responsibility will be to build and own the tools, data, and platform that turn Research plans and workload signals into concrete compute demand and manage allocations across the fleet.

This is a hands-on technical role. You will build alongside researchers and engineers, working directly with code and data to prototype solutions, automate workflows, and deliver tools that teams use every day. You will combine technical judgment and program leadership to connect capacity planning with the deployment, scheduling, and optimization systems that make allocated compute usable.

You will work across a broad range of Research workloads, understanding their different requirements an
