Operating Systems Engineer, Connectivity & Networking | Consumer Devices
OpenAI · San Francisco
About this role
## About the Team OpenAI Consumer Devices is building the next generation of products that bring powerful AI into people’s everyday lives. Guided by OpenAI’s mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity, our team combines world-class researchers, engineers, designers, and operators to create useful, intuitive, and responsible technology. You’ll work on ambitious, zero-to-one challenges at the intersection of **hardware, software, and AI**—helping define a new category of products and shape how people experience AI in the future. Our team works across **systems software and product engineering** to build reliable consumer devices and the platforms behind them. We develop the **connectivity and networking foundations** that support communication across OpenAI products and systems. --- ## About the Role As an **Operating Systems Engineer focused on connectivity and networking**, you will design, develop, and maintain OS capabilities that enable **reliable, secure, and efficient communication** across OpenAI products and systems. Your work spans **Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth frameworks**, **IP networking**, and **advanced network services and policy**. You’ll build OS services, libraries, and interfaces for a broad range of connectivity needs, make design decisions across software boundaries, and carry solutions through development, integration, and production. --- ## In This Role, You Will - **Build connectivity foundations:** Design, implement, and maintain OS services, frameworks, and APIs for **Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and IP networking**. - **Develop reusable network capabilities:** Build connection management, network configuration and selection, service discovery, and routing capabilities. - **Enable secure communication:** Develop network services and policies for secure communication, traffic management, and isolation across varied network environments. - **Resolve issues across the stack:** Investigate correctness, concurrency, interoperability, and reliability issues across OS components, protocol stacks, and application interfaces. - **Improve performance and efficiency:** Use tracing, profiling, and repeatable measurements to improve latency, throughput, resource use, and power efficiency. - **Validate real-world reliability:** Build diagnostic tools, representative workloads, and automated tests to validate interoperability and failure recovery across changing network and operating conditions, measure reliability improvements, and protect gains with regression coverage. - **Deliver maintainable product capabilities:** Partner with hardware, firmware, security, platform, and application engineers to translate system requirements into shipped capabilities and clear, maintainable interfaces for integration and troubleshooting. --- ## Minimum Qualifications - Substantial hands-on experience developing **Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth** functionality in operating-system frameworks, system services, or connectivity middleware. - Strong understanding of **IP networking** (IPv4/IPv6, TCP/UDP, DNS, DHCP, routing, socket behavior) with practical experience implementing and debugging networked systems. - Experience implementing advanced networking capabilities (e.g., routing/policy, VPNs/tunneling, traffic management, or network isolation). - Experience designing and maintaining **platform APIs** and the services behind them, including connection lifecycle management and integration with other OS components. - Proficiency in **C++** for systems develop
