About Our Team

At OpenAI, our Forward Deployed Engineering team collaborates with clients to transform groundbreaking research into practical production systems. We thrive at the crossroads of customer engagement and foundational platform advancement.

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will spearhead intricate end-to-end deployments of cutting-edge models in partnership with our most pivotal clients. You will take ownership of the entire process, from discovery and technical scoping to system design, implementation, and production launch, working closely with customer engineering and domain experts.

Your success will be measured by the adoption of production systems, the tangible impact on workflows, and feedback-driven evaluations that influence product and model trajectories. Collaboration is key, as you will interact regularly with our Product, Research, Partnerships, GRC, Security, and GTM teams.

This position is based in Dublin, with a hybrid work model requiring three days in the office each week. We provide relocation assistance, and travel may be necessary up to 50% of the time.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead technical delivery across various deployments from initial prototype to robust production.

  • Develop full-stack systems that not only provide customer value but also enhance our learning processes.

  • Integrate deeply with customer teams, grasp their requirements, and facilitate the adoption of your solutions.

  • Define project scope, sequence deliveries efficiently, and proactively eliminate barriers.

  • Balance trade-offs between project scope, speed, and quality; adjust plans to ensure timely delivery.

  • Contribute directly to coding when necessary to ensure progress and clarity.

  • Document effective working patterns in tools, playbooks, or reusable components for team use.

  • Provide field feedback that aids Research and Product in understanding model performance and areas for improvement.

  • Maintain team momentum through clear communication and follow-through.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Possess 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience, including customer-facing roles.

  • Demonstrated ability to scope and deliver complex systems in dynamic or unclear environments.

  • Proficient in writing and reviewing production-grade code across frontend and backend, particularly in Python, JavaScript, and other relevant technologies.
