Safety Transparency Editor, Safety Systems
OpenAIAbout the Team
Safety Systems works to ensure OpenAI’s most capable models can be developed and deployed responsibly. Our work spans evaluations, safeguards, red teaming, deployment decisions, and the systems that help OpenAI understand and reduce risk as models become more capable and widely used.
Within Safety Systems, the Trustworthy AI team is growing its safety transparency function: a practice focused on helping external audiences understand OpenAI’s technical safety work with greater clarity, rigor, and continuity. We create and improve the public artifacts that explain how our systems are evaluated for safety, what safeguards we build, what decisions we make, and where uncertainty remains.
This work includes system cards, the Deployment Safety Hub, safety-related blogs, public governance documents, and other outputs that communicate technical safety topics to external audiences. It also includes building new ways to make technical safety information easier to understand, navigate, and use—including AI-assisted workflows, data visualizations, and interactive tools that make complex technical work more legible over time.
About the Role
We are looking for a Safety Transparency Editor to own the editorial quality of key safety transparency artifacts and systems.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can write crystal-clear, pitch-perfect explanations of the hardest and highest-stakes technical safety topics that OpenAI tackles, and who can lean into AI to build systems that help the broader organization do this work better.
Your core responsibility is to shape and execute how our technical safety work is externally communicated: identifying the narrative thread, exercising judgment about which details matter, determining where additional context, explanation, or supporting evidence is needed, translating complexity without sacrificing precision, and helping external audiences understand both the safety measures we’ve taken and the uncertainties that remain. To do this work effectively, you will need to be comfortable educating yourself, using AI tools and existing internal evidence, about the nuances of technical safety work taking place across OpenAI.
You will serve as the editorial driver behind system cards and related transparency materials, partnering closely with Safety Programs, researchers, evaluators, red-teamers, policy experts, legal partners, product marketing and communications teams, and other launch stakeholders. You will transform complex technical safety topics into public-facing artifacts that are rigorous, accessible, and faithful to the underlying substance.
