ABOUT THE TEAM OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering team partners with banks, asset managers, insurers, and private capital firms to deploy production-grade AI systems in high-stakes financial environments. We operate at the intersection of customer delivery and core platform development, embedding deeply with customers to translate frontier model capabilities into reliable, auditable systems that create measurable business impact. Our work turns early deployments into repeatable solution patterns, operating standards, and evaluation practices that scale across regulated financial institutions. ABOUT THE ROLE We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to lead end-to-end deployments of OpenAI’s models inside financial services organizations where correctness, latency, explainability, and control matter. You will work with customers who are experts in investment banking, trading, risk, compliance, underwriting, research, operations, or investment decision-making, translating complex workflows, data constraints, and regulatory requirements into production systems. You will measure success through production adoption, workflow efficiency, risk reduction, revenue impact, and evaluation-driven feedback loops that inform product, model, and GTM strategy. You’ll work closely with Product, Research, GTM, Security, Legal, and GRC to deliver systems that meet enterprise standards for governance, auditability, and operational resilience. You will also play a central role in shaping OpenAI’s Financial Services offering — identifying high-value use cases, defining solution patterns, and building the first repeatable deployments that scale across institutions.

We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week. We offer relocation assistance. Travel up to 50% may be required. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL - Design and ship production AI systems around models, owning integrations, data flows, reliability, observability, and on-call readiness across financial workflows. - Lead discovery and scoping from pre-sales through post-production, translating ambiguous business problems into hypothesis-driven problem framing, system requirements, and delivery plans with measurable outcomes. - Define and enforce launch criteria for regulated financial environments, including controls, audit artifacts
