About the Team OpenAI's People team helps hire, develop, and support the people building safe and beneficial AGI. Within that team, People Systems builds the technical foundation that enables our HR, recruiting, payroll, benefits, and performance operations to scale with quality, speed, and rigor. We work at the intersection of HR systems, software engineering, and internal tooling. Our goal is not just to keep core systems running, but to build durable technical leverage for the company. About the Role We're hiring a Workday Engineer to help design, build, and operate the systems that power critical people workflows at OpenAI.
