Security Incident Response Team Manager

About the Role

ABOUT THE TEAM Ensuring that advanced AI benefits humanity requires protecting the research, infrastructure, and trust that make its development and deployment possible. OpenAI Security defends our model IP, people, products, and users against sophisticated adversaries across GPU supercomputing, multicloud environments, datacenters, and emerging agent systems. The Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) leads the response when those defenses are tested—establishing what happened, limiting harm, and strengthening our ability to protect frontier AI. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader to build the incident response team that protects OpenAI as AI capabilities and the threats surrounding them evolve. You will command consequential incidents, lead technically demanding investigations, and make containment and recovery decisions when evidence is incomplete and the stakes are high. You will also shape how frontier models change incident response: using OpenAI’s own technology to help responders connect evidence, test hypotheses, and act effectively at a scale that manual workflows cannot support. Partnering with Research, Infrastructure, Product Security, Enterprise Security, IT, and Engineering, you will build exceptional responders, dependable AI-powered capabilities, and stronger defenses through every investigation. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Hire, coach, and develop exceptional incident responders who combine investigative depth, engineering ability, and sound judgment. Build a team that challenges assumptions, surfaces uncertainty early, and uses AI to expand its capabilities. Develop technical leaders who can make and explain difficult decisions under pressure. - Lead incident command for complex threats to OpenAI’s research, products, and infrastructure. Establish severity and scope, coordinate investigation workstreams, and weigh containment options against ongoing exposure and disruption to research or production. - Build and shi
