About the Team The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem in close collaboration with our internal and external partners. Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity. About the Role We are looking for an expert in biological and chemical risks to lead red teaming efforts for biosafety and to help mature OpenAI’s bio bounty programs. You will help shape biology-relevant test plans, guide external and internal engagements, ensure our testing is impactful, and translate findings into clear outcomes. In addition, you’ll play a critical role in driving our bio bounty programs, including managing external researcher relationships, evolving challenge questions, reviewing submissions that require biological subject-matter expertise, and maturing the program as it continues to scale. This role also requires broad and deep CBRN expertise, strong operational judgment or program management experience, and an adversarial mindset. You should be well-versed in understanding how a determined actor might misuse frontier AI systems, while also knowing how to turn sensitive findings into constructive, actionable safety work. In this role, you will - Lead bio red teaming work from a domain perspective, including shaping evaluation questions, scenarios, and success criteria for biology-relevant misuse pathways. - Review and pressure-test bio red teaming outputs, assess report quality, and help translate findings into concise risk calls and recommended next steps. - Identify new red teaming engagements or external expert collaborations that would improve OpenAI's visibility into biological and overall CBRN misuse risks. - Bring an adversarial mindset to assess how malicious actors could attempt to misuse model capabilities across planning, protocol design, procurement, troubleshooting, and operationalization. - Directly manage Bio Bounty program
