Protection Scientist Engineer, Integrity

About the Team The Integrity team is responsible for the scaled systems that help identify and respond to bad actors and harm on OpenAI’s platforms. We protect users and the wider world by developing responses to complex harms and building the harm protections needed for new product and model launches. Integrity’s work spans not only across frontier harms like biological weapons and cybersecurity, but also high severity abuses such as child safety, nation-state misuse, and violence. About the Role Protection Scientists within Integrity design, orchestrate, and mature systems of defence against usage harms enabled by OpenAI's products. We are systems thinkers that combine deep harm domain expertise with breadth across investigation, data science, machine learning, policy and operations. Our distinctive strength is understanding how these disciplines fit together and translating between them to design and build effective systems of defence. Your core hands-on technical responsibility is harm detection. You will design, build, evaluate and maintain production detection systems, drawing on investigative expertise, data and shared engineering platforms. You will develop signals, classifiers and detection systems, and improve their ability to identify harmful activity accurately as products and behaviour evolve. You will also own the strategy and cross-functional delivery of protection work for a harm area or product launch. Working closely with investigators and other domain exper
