About the Team OpenAI’s User Operations team shepherds our customers’ adoption of AI and ensures that our customers' product experience is nothing short of exceptional. We are building the very first post-AGI support team. We resolve complex issues, provide technical guidance, and support customers in maximizing value and adoption from deploying our products. We work closely with Sales, Technical Success, Product, Engineering and others, to deliver the best possible experience to our customers at scale. OpenAI's customers represent a range of diverse backgrounds and maturity, from early-stage startups to established global enterprises. About the Role The Support Engineering team works closely with Engineering, Product, Technical Success, Go-to-Market, and other teams to deliver an exceptional experience for our most strategic customers. We combine deep technical troubleshooting with durable customer context, proactive reliability work, and clear ownership during critical moments. We use automation, agents, and our own technology to help build the future of technical support. We’re looking for experienced, deeply curious technical problem-solvers to serve as trusted support partners for our Premium Support customers. You’ll work directly with customers on novel, ambiguous, and high-impact technical issues, using logs, telemetry, reproduction, and systems-level investigation to isolate causes and drive issues toward resolution. Beyond resolving individual issues, you’ll use your deep understanding of OpenAI’s infrastructure and products, together with each customer’s architecture and operating context, to anticipate risk and make their workloads more resilient over time. You’ll proactively monitor integrations, identify emerging failure patterns and architectural breakpoints, and work with customers and internal teams to address them before they become incidents. Success means that as a customer’s workloads mature and scale, the day-to-day effort required to support them decreases through better monitoring, runbooks, automation, and preventative improvements. In this role, you will: Work directly with Premium Support customers to troubleshoot their most complex technical issues, including API failures, integration challenges, authentication errors, unexpected product behavior, performance degradation, and production incidents. Provide end-to-end technical ownership by analyzing logs and system behavior, reproducing errors, testing hypotheses, and isolating the likely failure domain. Where possible, you’ll identify the root cause before escalating to Engineering; where that is not possible, you’ll provide a clear hypothesis and the evidence needed to accelerate Engineering’s investigation. Become a trusted expert on OpenAI’s products and systems, serving as a critical escalation point and a technical backstop for our most strategic customers. Own the customer-specific response to high-impact incidents. You’ll assess severity and business impact, initiate the appropriate response path, coordinate cross-functional responders, maintain clear ownership, and ensure issues move through mitigation, resolution, and post-incident follow-through. Communicate clearly and proactively during periods of uncertainty, providing accurate updates to customer technical teams, business stakeholders, executives, and internal partners. Develop a detailed understanding of each customer’s architecture, integrations, dependencies, critical workloads, and operational constraints. You’ll document this context and make it accessible to Support, Product, and Engineering teams. Partner with Go-to-Market and Technical Success teams to understand the business importance of customer workloads and ensure that relevant commercial context informs severity, prioritization, and communication without bypassing established support processes.
