Open AI Residency Program 2023 for Developers, Engineers, and Researchers ($210,000 Annual Salary With Relocation Support)

About the Program

The OpenAI Residency provides a pathway for exceptional engineers and researchers from other fields to transition into artificial intelligence.

As a Resident, you’ll be embedded within our Research teams working on real, cutting-edge AI problems under the guidance of an OpenAI Researcher. Residents are expected to ramp up over the six month program to become full time contributors.

We look for candidates with excellent track records and high potential, coming from both inside and outside of traditional education and work settings. OpenAI has long been home to many self-taught researchers and engineers. If you have an unconventional educational background, we encourage you to apply.

It is important that this program is inclusive of the diverse set of skills and backgrounds that reflect the human experience so our work can do the same.
