About the role
- This role is ideal for engineers who have built large-scale ads measurement, data, experimentation, marketplace, or distributed systems and want to apply that experience in a highly ambiguous 0→1 environment.
- You'll work across event collection and normalization, deduplication and matching, attribution and modeled measurement, privacy-safe aggregation, reporting, and high-quality labels for ads optimization.
- This role is based in San Francisco or Seattle.
Responsibilities
- Design and build reliable conversion-event collection and processing systems across pixels, SDKs, server-side APIs, app events, offline uploads, and advertiser integrations.
- Build attribution and measurement infrastructure for observed and modeled conversions, attribution windows, deduplication, delayed events, and signal-loss mitigation.
- Develop privacy-preserving identity, matching, aggregation, and reporting systems that provide useful measurement under strict privacy constraints.
- Create data-quality systems that detect missing, duplicated, malformed, out-of-order, fraudulent, or misconfigured conversion signals.
- Partner with Ads ML to deliver trustworthy conversion labels and feedback loops for ranking, bidding, targeting, and budget optimization.
- Develop experimentation and incrementally capabilities, including holdouts, lift studies, and causal measurement foundations.
- Have 10+ years experience building and operating large-scale distributed data or backend systems, ideally in ads measurement, attribution, analytics, marketplaces, experimentation, or adjacent domains.
Requirements
- AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core.
- We believe monetization must be aligned with user value, uphold rigorous privacy and safety standards, and sustain a healthy ecosystem of developers and businesses.
Benefits
- Build scalable advertiser reporting and diagnostics for conversions, cost per action, return on ad spend, funnel performance, and measurement health.
Company info
- The Monetization team is a cross-functional group working across engineering, product, research, and design to build the foundational systems that will help OpenAI scale access to intelligence responsibly.
- Our mission is to develop user-first, privacy-preserving monetization products, including next-generation ads experiences that strengthen user trust, unlock economic opportunity, and support OpenAI's long-term innovation.
- Monetization plays a critical role in enabling OpenAI to continue pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities while ensuring the benefits of AGI are broadly shared.
- This team operates in a greenfield environment and moves quickly through prototyping, experimentation, and iterative deployment.
- We partner closely with Product, Design, and Research to bring research breakthroughs into real-world systems at global scale.
