Research Scientist - Multimodal Agent, Consumer Devices

Join OpenAI as a Research Scientist focusing on multimodal AI systems, developing methods for personalized user experiences. Work in a hybrid model in San Francisco. OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.

• •Develop RLHF and post-training methods for multimodal models.
• •Build reward models and preference-learning pipelines for adaptive, personalized model behavior.
• •Design datasets, rubrics, and evaluation frameworks that capture user preferences, contextual appropriateness, and long-term value in realistic tasks.
• •Run experiments on policy improvement using explicit feedback, implicit signals, and model-based grading.
• •Work on long-horizon evaluation problems, where model quality depends not just on a single response but on whether behavior improves outcomes over time.
• •Collaborate closely with safety researchers to ensure that adaptation and personalization remain aligned, interpretable, and bounded by clear constraints.
• •Prototype and iterate quickly on training recipes, reward formulations, data pipelines, and evaluation suites for product-relevant behaviors.
• •Help define how OpenAI measures success for personalized AI systems including trust, appropriateness, and long-term user benefit.

• •Hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week.
• •Relocation assistance for new employees.
