I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at OpenAI in July 2025
Interview
HR called to talk about pass research experience and team preference, later informed I was moved into technical round, question is about ML debugging, should be fairly trivial if you have experience with pytorch
The recruiter was enthusiastic and supportive throughout the process, showing genuine interest in my background and experience. However, responses were somewhat slow at times, which occasionally made it harder to maintain momentum during the interview process.
it starts with HR screen followed by technical screen I applied online via their website. Process wasnt bad people were friendly - the interviewer seemed a bit zoned out though during the technical screen.
