Launch Systems Architect

About the Team

The Support team is central to ensuring that our customers' experience with our products is nothing short of exceptional. We resolve complex issues, provide technical guidance, and support customers in maximizing value and adoption from deploying our products. We work closely with Sales, Technical Success, Product, Engineering and others to deliver the best possible experience to our customers at scale. OpenAI's customers represent a range of diverse backgrounds and maturity, from early-stage startups to established global enterprises. Given OpenAI’s already breakneck shipping cadence – and the expectation that it will only accelerate – our ability to architect scalable systems for readiness and user‑feedback is central to our ability to build world-class products and to maintain exceptional support quality. 

About the Role

We are seeking a systems‑minded builder who will design, prototype, and iterate on the tooling, data flows, and processes that let User Operations stay perfectly in‑sync with Product and Engineering teams with an ever‑growing product surface area. Think: automated launch checklists, streamlined enablement efforts, and always‑on feedback ingestion and insights generator, leveraging data and signals from our diverse user base. You’d be building data systems, not better slide decks.

We’re looking for people who thrive at the intersection of project management, systems building, data science/data engineering/software engineering, team enablement, and customer advocacy – and enjoy working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, evolving environment. 

This role is based in San Francisco, California. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

  • Coordinate product launches across internal User Operations teams and external partners to guarantee seamless execution and support readiness.

  • Architect launch‑readiness systems that streamline formerly manual processes, replacing ad‑hoc docs and meetings with automated workflows, dashboards, and alerting to build for scale.

  • Develop and implement scalable feedback loops between support, product, and engineering so customer insights are continuously integrated into product strategy.

  • Serve as the voice of the user, advocating for customer needs and pain points in cross‑functional discussions.

  • Prototype quickly—leveraging ChatGPT, Jupyter notebooks, Retool, and other tools—to prove value before hardening with Engineering.

  • Stand up data pipelines that capture sentiment, ticket trends, and BPO insights, routing actionable signals back to Product within hours—not weeks.

  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, and Operations to align on launch goals, timelines, and readiness metrics.

  • Identify risks and challenges during rollouts, proposing solutions that safeguard customer experience and service levels.

  • Continuously automate, replacing every repetitive touchpoint with scripts, agents, or LLM‑powered flows.

You might thrive in this role if you: 

  • Have 8+ years experience in product launch coordination, especially within a customer support environment (internal and/or external).

  • Have shipped or maintained tools and automations (dashboards, ETL pipelines, low‑code apps) that eliminated manual work and scaled beyond a single team..

  • Treat ChatGPT & LLMs as default co‑developers, rapidly turning natural‑language ideas into working code or queries.

  • Have a background in data science or data architecture—familiar with designing schemas, validating data quality, and applying statistical methods to turn raw signals into actionable insights.

  • Enjoy working cross-functionally and are skilled at building relationships with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams.

  • Are passionate about customer advocacy and have experience translating customer feedback into strategic product insights.

  • Possess a strong bias for automation and can defend governance decisions that keep data and processes healthy as they grow.

  • Thrive in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment where priorities can shift quickly.
