OpenAI closes a cluster of Research postings centred on Agent Post-Training and Robotics roles
OpenAI's job board drops a block of Research department roles in San Francisco, including "Agent Post-Training, Computer Use Research", "Agent Post-Training, Personality", "Agent Post-Training, Connectors Research", "Research Engineer, Frontier Evals & Environments", "Inference Engineer, Robotics" and "Software Engineer, Distributed Data Systems - Robotics", while adding "Mechanical Engineer, PCBA Test Infrastructure, Robotics". Read it as a department-level shift in the research hiring mix (roles filled or the agent post-training push re-scoped), not a research team going dark.
