What you'll do

  • Design and build reliable conversion-event collection and processing systems across pixels, SDKs, server-side APIs, and app integrations
  • Develop attribution and measurement infrastructure for observed and modeled conversions, handling deduplication and signal-loss mitigation
  • Create privacy-preserving identity, matching, aggregation, and reporting systems under strict privacy constraints
  • Build data-quality systems to detect missing, duplicated, malformed, fraudulent, or misconfigured conversion signals
  • Partner with Ads ML to deliver trustworthy conversion labels and feedback loops for optimization
  • Define technical strategy and roadmap for conversion measurement across OpenAI's ads delivery stack

What they're looking for

  • Large-scale distributed data and backend systems design
  • Conversion-event pipelines and attribution modeling
  • Privacy-preserving measurement and aggregation techniques
  • High-throughput batch and streaming systems
  • Data correctness, reconciliation, and schema evolution
  • Event deduplication and identity matching
  • Experimentation and causal measurement
  • Cross-functional collaboration with ML and product teams

Benefits

  • Work on foundational 0→1 greenfield systems
  • Base in San Francisco or Seattle with relocation assistance
  • Cross-functional collaboration with product, research, design, and ML teams
  • Opportunity to shape measurement strategy at global scale
  • Focus on privacy-preserving and user-first monetization
  • High-impact role supporting OpenAI's long-term innovation
