We own the systems around the model: prompting and interpreting model outputs, executing actions safely in real environments, and feeding production experience back into better models and better agent behavior. This team sits close to research and works across the stack: harness, model interaction, inference, sandboxed execution, orchestration, evals, production reliability, and the performance envelope around tokens, latency, cost, capacity, and quality. The harness is open source and increasingly part of how models are trained and evaluated, making this one of the highest-leverage layers in Codex. About The Role We’re looking for engineers to build the AI systems that make Codex agents dependable in production. The ideal candidate is an agent-systems builder: hands-on across low-level systems and ML workflows, able to debug Codex behavior end to end across the harness, model behavior, inference/runtime stack, GPU fleet, and product surface. You’ll work with research, infrastructure, and product to design agent harness capabilities, run experiments and ablations across the model + system prompt + harness stack, build frameworks for assessing production agent performance, and turn messy failures into durable improvements. What You’ll Do - Design and build the core agent harness and execution loop that lets Codex agents interpret model outputs, use tools, execute code, and complete long-horizon tasks safely. - Build sandboxing, isolation, orchestration, state, and workflow infrastructure for agents operating in real development environments. - Develop evaluation, experimentation, and debugging systems that distinguish harness issues, model behavior, inference/runtime issues, and product failures. - Run ablations across prompts, model-facing interfaces, context construction, tool-use strategies, and harness behavior to improve solve rate, reliability, latency, and cost. - Improve observability, profiling, and diagnostics across the agent stack, from backend systems to inference, GPUs, and fleet capacity. - Work closely with research to make the harness trainable, measurable, and useful for improving frontier agentic models. - Build shared primitives that make Codex faster, safer, more reliable, and easier for other teams and open-source users to build on. You Might Be A Good Fit If You - Have built or operated production systems in distributed systems, infrastructure, developer tooling, sandboxing, virtualization, cloud platforms, or ML systems. - Enjoy working across layers: Rust systems code, Python configuration layers, APIs, agent orchestration, evals, logs/traces, inference behavior, runtime constraints, and user outcomes. - Have hands-on experience with LLM applications, coding agents, evals, model deployment, inference, compiler/runtime performance, or developer platforms. - Care deeply about reliability, safety, performance, debuggability, and clean abstractions. - Can debug from evidence and move quickly from ambiguous production failures to practical, durable fixes. - Want to work close to research while still shipping changes to production - Still write meaningful code, show strong ownership, and can lead scoped or multi-team AI systems work. Bonus Points - Deep Rust, systems, sandboxing, isolation, or low-level platform experience. - Experience with coding agents, agent harnesses, tool-using LLM systems, model evals, or post-training feedback loops. - Background in compilers, kernels, runtimes, inference optimization, GPU systems, benchmarking, profiling, or performance engineering. - Experience building production infrastructure used by many engineers or users under demanding reliability and security constraints. - Open-source infrastructure or developer-platform work with strong taste for APIs and usability.

About The Role We’re looking for a senior researcher with exceptional technical depth in large-scale model training, synthetic data, or evaluation who is excited to study how training choices shape aligned behavior in frontier models. You will help shape the research agenda for alignment training: defining the behaviors we want models to learn, designing data and training interventions to teach them, and building the evaluation loops needed to tell whether those behaviors are broad, robust, and durable. The strongest candidates will be able to move from an ambiguous behavioral question to a concrete experimental program: formulate the hypothesis, design the intervention, build the pipeline, run the experiment, and decide whether the result is real. This role is especially well suited for someone who wants to work close to the core model training loop, where choices about data, objectives, and evaluation directly shape how aligned deployed systems are. In this role, you'll: - Develop synthetic data methods that teach models higher-level behavioral tendencies, such as understanding user intent, following instructions reliably, reasoning clearly, being honest, and acting consistently with intended goals and constraints. - Study how pre-training, mid-training, and post-training each shape downstream model behavior, and which interventions are best applied at which stage. - Build evaluation loops that connect model behavior back to training data and training objectives, so the team can iterate faster and with clearer signal. - Design reusable data generation and filtering pipelines that improve the quality, diversity, and robustness of training data. - Create experiments that distinguish durable learned behavior from benchmark gains, distribution-specific effects, or evaluation artifacts. - Collaborate across pre-training, post-training, alignment, and product-facing teams to translate research insights into better model behavior. - Help define the research agenda for alignment training: which behaviors should remain invariant across settings, which should adapt, and how to measure whether models have learned an underlying principle rather than a surface pattern. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have a strong record of technically excellent work in large-scale ML, especially in pre-training, post-training, synthetic data, model evaluation, or training infrastructure. - Are comfortable designing experiments where the signal is subtle, noisy, or indirect. - Can move between research taste and engineering execution: forming hypotheses, building pipelines, running experiments, analyzing results, and turning findings into the next iteration. - Have unusually good judgment about which research questions are worth pursuing and which signals are strong enough to trust. - Care about making models more useful, honest, steerable, and reliable for real users. - Are excited by alignment problems, even if you have not worked in alignment before. - Communicate clearly across research, engineering, and product contexts. - Prefer practical, evidence-driven work grounded in experiments.
