About the Team
Our team brings OpenAI’s most capable technology to the world through our products. Most recently, we released ChatGPT, GPT-4, the Whisper API, and DALL-E. We empower consumers and developers alike to use and access our start-of-the-art AI models, allowing them to do things that they’ve never been able to before.Across all product lines, we ensure that these powerful tools are used responsibly. This is a key part of OpenAI’s path towards safely deploying broadly beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

Have experience or interest in Authentication, Authorization, Federation, and Identity Management.
Interest or experience with protocols such as OAuth 2.0, SAML, SCIM, and OpenID Connect.
Have industry experience with projects such as Hydra or Auth0, and languages such as Python or Golang.
