Agent Post-Training, Artifacts Research

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 As a member of Agent Post‑Training, Artifacts, you will train frontier models to create polished, useful work products: documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, dashboards, reports, analyses, and other interactive or editable artifacts. You will help teach our models to move from a vague user goal to a finished artifact with strong structure, visual taste, domain judgment, correctness, and low latency. This work will require owning improvements across our post‑training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, and behavioral analysis. 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 will: Design and run experiments that improve agentic model behavior for complex software and plugins. 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 failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. Partner with Codex and ChatGPT product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. Work on early‑training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. Improve the machinery for large‑scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. Take on cross‑functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi‑agent systems or training directly against production‑like environments. Debug hard failures in shipped or near‑shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes. You might thrive in this role if you: Have strong technical fundamentals in machine learning, software engineering, systems, statistics, or a related field, and can learn quickly across the parts you have not worked in before. Have hands‑on experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, post‑training, evals, graders, synthetic data, model training, coding agents, tool‑using agents, or production ML systems. Are excited by open‑ended problems where the path is unclear, the signal is noisy, and the right answer requires both research taste and engineering execution. Care about product impact and model behavior, not just benchmark movement. You have opinions about what makes an agent useful, reliable, honest, tasteful, and easy to work with. Can move from a vague behavioral problem to a concrete experiment: define the hypothesis, build the pipeline, run the model, analyze the result, and decide what to do next. Are comfortable working across research, product, infrastructure, data, evals, and safety boundaries, and can communicate clearly with each group. Like building load‑bearing systems and processes when that is what the team needs, even if the work is not glamorous. Want to train and ship the models that make agents genuinely useful for developers, enterprises, researchers, and everyday users. Have some prior background in consulting, finance, marketing, operations, or data science.
