Hiring · 816 open jobsGeneral information
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco. It makes ChatGPT and the GPT family of language models, plus DALL-E and GPT Image for images, Codex for coding, and Whisper for speech recognition.
OpenAI was founded on December 8, 2015, by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, and others. Microsoft invested $1 billion in 2019, and OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022. In 2025, OpenAI restructured into a public benefit corporation: the OpenAI Foundation holds 26%, Microsoft holds 27%, and employees and other investors hold the rest. It had about 4,500 employees and annualized revenue of $13.1 billion as of 2026. That matters: Microsoft's stake ties OpenAI's products closely to Microsoft's cloud business.
Currently, there's a total of 759 job openings at OpenAI. Over the last 30 days, 263 jobs were added and 262 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~28 days before being removed). OpenAI is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1
