Software Engineer, GPU Infrastructure- ChatGPT Engineering

About the Team ChatGPT Engineering builds and operates the compute platform powering one of the world's largest AI products. Every ChatGPT conversation relies on massive GPU clusters serving inference workloads with high reliability, efficiency, and performance. As our GPU fleet continues to grow, we're investing in the infrastructure that operates it. Our team builds the tooling, automation, and intelligent systems that make GPU infrastructure scalable, observable, and increasingly autonomous. We work across production engineering, distributed systems, capacity management, and AI-powered operational tooling to help researchers and product teams move faster while maximizing the efficiency of every GPU. This is a unique opportunity to work on infrastructure at the frontier of AI, where small improvements in fleet efficiency, reliability, and automation have an outsized impact on the development and deployment of AGI. About the Role We're looking for a Software Engineer with deep experience operating large-scale GPU or compute infrastructure. You'll design and build the systems that manage GPU clusters at scale—from fleet health and capacity planning to operational automation and intelligent agents that reduce manual intervention. You'll partner closely with infrastructure, research, and product engineering teams to improve reliability, developer productivity, and overall compute utilization. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex operational challenges, building internal platforms, and working on infrastructure that directly powers frontier AI. In This Role, You Will - Design, build, and operate software that manages large-scale GPU infrastructure supporting ChatGPT inference. - Build internal platforms, tooling, and AI-powered agents that automate fleet operations and reduce operational overhead. - Improve observability, reliability, and operational efficiency across thousands of GPUs. - Develop systems for capacity planning, scheduling, fleet health monitoring, and incident response. - Identify infrastructure bottlenecks and implement solutions that improve utilization, scalability, and performance. - Partner closely with research, platform, networking, and systems teams to continuously improve our compute platform. - Help establish engineering best practices around operational excellence, automation, and infrastructure reliability. You Might Thrive in This Role If You - Have experience operating large-scale production infrastructure, preferably GPU clusters or other compute-intensive distributed systems. - Have a background in Production Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Infrastructure Engineering, or Platform Engineering. - Have built software that automates operational workflows rather than relying on manual processes. - Have experience with Kubernetes, Linux systems, container orchestration, or distributed infrastructure. - Understand infrastructure observability, monitoring, capacity planning, and incident management. - Enjoy identifying cross-team pain points and building reusable platforms that improve developer productivity. - Are comfortable working across software engineering and systems operations, owning problems end-to-end. - Thrive in fast-moving environments with significant technical ambiguity. Qualifications - 5+ years of software engineering experience building production infrastructure. - Strong programming skills in Go, Python, C++, Rust, or similar systems languages. - Experience designing and operating highly available distributed systems. - Experience with GPU infrastructure, high-performance computing, ML infrastructure, or large-scale compute platforms. - Experience with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, Linux, networking, and observability tooling. - Excellent debugging, systems design, and operational problem-solving skills. - Strong communication skills and experience collaborating across engineering organizati

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
