About the Company

The OpenAI Deployment Company (“DeployCo”) is the deployment arm of OpenAI, purpose built to deliver enterprise AI transformation at scale. As model capabilities accelerate, deployment has become the primary constraint to realizing AI value creation within large enterprises. DeployCo bridges that gap.
Our ambition is to build the company that defines AI deployment. We operate at the intersection of cutting edge AI, enterprise transformation, and scaled services delivery. We partner with enterprise customers to identify where AI can transform their businesses and build solutions leveraging OpenAI’s models and products.
People who thrive at DeployCo get excited about ambitious and complex work. We are deep believers in the future with AI. We execute quickly, value intellectual honesty and empathy, and obsess over the solutions we build for our customers.
DeployCo is being built from the ground up as a subsidiary of OpenAI and funded with a partnership of outside investors.

You will play a central role in making Singapore a great place to work, ensuring our people, workplace and operations are set up to support a fast growing team.

• Are proactive and resourceful. You see something that could be better and naturally take ownership of improving it.
