On the Healthcare team, we are building products and infrastructure that bring OpenAI’s capabilities into healthcare organizations and clinical workflows. We serve health care systems, insurance companies, and the broad range of healthcare IT companies. Our products include connecting ChatGPT with healthcare data and systems and building reliable enterprise experiences that can operate within complex security, privacy, compliance, and interoperability requirements.

• Partner closely with product, research, security, privacy, GTM, and healthcare organizations to translate real-world workflows into scalable products.
• Improve the reliability, performance, observability, and operational maturity of production healthcare systems.
• Take ownership of ambiguous technical problems and drive them toward practical, durable solutions.

You might thrive in this role if you
