OpenAIAs a Partner Applied AI Architect, you will be a senior technical advisor to a portfolio of strategic partners and the primary technical counterpart to their leadership and delivery organizations. You will shape how partners build practices around OpenAI, develop solutions using our products, and take joint customers from AI opportunity and technical evaluation through production adoption and measurable business impact. You will own the technical strategy and architecture across partner engagements involving ChatGPT Enterprise, the OpenAI API, Codex, and other agentic AI solutions. In close partnership with the Revenue Partnerships team, you will translate joint business priorities into technical strategies, solution patterns, enablement plans, and a focused portfolio of high-value customer opportunities. You will work directly with partners on strategic customer engagements—leading discovery, shaping architectures, navigating complex technical decisions, and helping secure technical wins—while building the partner capabilities required to deliver successfully and independently at scale. You will remain accountable for the technical quality and outcomes of the partnership while bringing in the right specialists across deployment, implementation, security, product, enablement, and other teams when deeper expertise is needed. The role calls for strong architectural judgment, executive presence, partner leadership, and the ability to move confidently between business strategy and hands-on technical conversations. You might thrive in this role if you have significant experience in senior customer- or partner-facing technical roles such as solutions architecture, partner engineering, field architecture, technical account leadership, AI deployment, or technical consulting. You have worked successfully with global or regional system integrators, consulting firms, or other technology partners, and understand how partner organizations sell, architect, and deliver complex enterprise technology. You have guided complex enterprise organizations from technical discovery and evaluation through production deployment, adoption, and measurable business impact. You can build credibility with CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, partner executives, and AI leaders while communicating equally effectively with architects and hands-on engineers. You bring strong software and cloud architecture foundations, including APIs, distributed systems, enterprise data, integrations, identity, security, privacy, and governance. You understand modern AI systems, frontier LLMs, agentic applications, model evaluation, retrieval, and enterprise AI workflows. You can prototype when useful, explain technical tradeoffs clearly, and work confidently with APIs, SDKs, and languages such as Python or JavaScript. You have experience enabling technical organizations at scale, turning your own expertise into repeatable architectures, training, patterns, and practices that others can successfully apply. You understand enterprise security and compliance requirements and can guide partners and customers through the technical considerations required to move AI systems safely into production. You are comfortable balancing the needs of OpenAI, the partner, and the end customer, and can exercise sound judgment when those priorities do not perfectly align. You know when to go deep personally, when to coach a partner toward the answer, and when to engage specialist resources. You can prioritize across a portfolio of partners and customer opportunities, focusing technical resources on the work most likely to create durable customer value and adoption. You communicate clearly and can turn ambiguity into a practical architecture, executive decision, enablement plan, or path to production. You own problems end-to-end, learn quickly, and care deeply about helping partners and customers deploy advanced AI responsibly.
