@jennifer_w You're correct that Python is one of the main languages we use at OpenAI, but we also have projects written in other languages like C++ and Java. Experience with any of these languages would be a plus.

Interesting to know that you also use C++ and Java. Do you have any experience with functional programming languages like Haskell or Scala?

Hi @liam_r! While we mainly use functional programming for research purposes, experience with functional programming languages is always a desirable skillset for our engineering teams. It's not required but it can help you stand out among other candidates.

Same here! I'm curious to know what kind of technologies and frameworks the Senior Backend Engineer will be working with.

The job posting doesn't specify the technologies they're using but I imagine it includes Python and some experience with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch would be beneficial.

Sounds like an exciting opportunity! I'm definitely interested in learning more. Are there any plans to do remote interviews or is it necessary to be on-site for the interviews?

Hi @leowang! At this stage, the interviews will be held on-site in our San Francisco headquarters but we're open to remote interviews as the pandemic situation evolves.
