OpenAI is hiring: 364 open roles, 67 new this week
Ashney watches OpenAI's own careers board all day. Here is what is open right now: where, which teams, what they ask for and which governments list OpenAI as a visa sponsor.
Does OpenAI sponsor visas?
OpenAI appears on the official sponsor lists of three countries. These are the governments' own records, checked against the legal entity that hires there.
| Country | Official record | OpenAI entity | Evidence | Tagged open roles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | H-1B sponsor | OpenAI OpCo, LLC | 116 H-1B filings, last 4 quarters | 220 |
| Ireland | Irish permit employer | OpenAI Ireland Limited | 2 employment permits, this year and last | 8 |
| United Kingdom | Licensed sponsor | OpenAI UK Ltd | On the Home Office register | 12 |
What this does and doesn't mean. Being on a list shows OpenAI has sponsored work visas in that country. It doesn't promise a given role will, so ask the recruiter before you apply.
