Agent Post-Training, Context Research
OpenAI · San Francisco
About this role
ABOUT THE TEAM The Agent Post-Training team creates the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world. We are training the models behind our agents in Codex, ChatGPT, the API, and other frontier products: persistent, proactive intelligence that can operate computers, collaborate with people and other agents, and expand what people and organizations can imagine, attempt, and achieve. We define what the next generation of agents should be able to do, build the training signal that teaches those abilities, and run the experiments that make them real. Our work spans coding, tool use, computer use, multi-agent coordination, long-horizon execution, factuality, instruction following, calibrated reasoning, and taste. Our team is where new model capabilities get made. We build the data, environments, graders, training methods, and feedback loops that shape what OpenAI's next agents can do, then carry those capabilities through major training runs and into the products people use. ABOUT THE ROLE We believe that the final enabler for AGI is spending compute on context. As a Context Researcher on Agent Post-Training, you will scale compute spent on context. You will get to work in our frontier training stack on enabling the next paradigm of model training with a clear product interface for iterative deployment (Codex Chronicle). You will work with researchers, engineers, product teams, infrastructure teams, and safety/alignment partners to decide what should go into major model runs, measure whether it worked, and ship improvements into products used by real people. This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT - Design and run experiments that improve scaling of compute on context. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model fail
