We’re in search of a Software Engineer with experience building data pipelines and working closely with members of the Legal team. This role is perfect for someone who's passionate about the intersection of systems, privacy, and legal compliance. You will architect, design, and write backend systems responsible for handling some of the most sensitive data at OpenAI.

This role is based in Dublin, Ireland. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain back-end systems and services that power privacy and data compliance functions within our API products and consumer applications.
• Work closely with legal advisors and other engineers to respond to court orders and other legal processes, all while upholding strict data privacy and legal standards.
• Identify opportunities for automation and build the tools that enable other teams to automate tasks involving customer data.
• Develop and implement data handling policies and procedures in compliance with legal and ethical standards, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of user data.

 You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience building data pipelines, especially for legal processes and investigative workflows.
• Can translate legal requirements into technical solutions and explain technical solutions to a non-technical audience.
• Take responsibility for problems from beginning to end, and are prepared to acquire any missing knowledge necessary to get the job done.
• Create tools to speed up your own and your colleagues’ workflows, particularly when pre-existing solutions are inadequate.
• Deeply care about user experience and take pride in developing products that meet customer needs while ensuring privacy.
