What you’ll do
- Build reliable data pipelines, models, and datasets for IT controls including access, identity, configuration, change, ticketing, exception, and evidence data.
- Create data quality, lineage, reconciliation, and completeness checks that make control data defensible for SOX and other audit use cases.
- Design automated evidence generation workflows producing complete, accurate, and repeatable audit populations, exports, dashboards, and control artifacts.
- Develop control monitoring logic to detect drift, missing evidence, stale access, direct system changes, overdue activity, and other control exceptions.
What you’ll bring
- Strong data engineering, analytics engineering, or software/data systems experience building reliable datasets, pipelines, queries, dashboards, or automated reporting workflows.
- Hands-on SQL experience and proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language such as Python.

About the Team The IT and Security organization builds the systems, data foundations, and automation that help OpenAI operate securely and reliably at scale. We support critical domains across identity, access, infrastructure security, enterprise systems, and internal productivity. As OpenAI grows, audit readiness and control assurance increasingly depend on reliable data: accurate system inventories, access populations, change records, configuration state, exception signals, and evidence generated directly from source systems. Our goal is to move beyond manual evidence collection and build scalable data products, automated validation, and continuous control monitoring that make security and IT controls measurable, repeatable, and defensible.
