Machine Learning Data Scientist, Forecasting

Job Description

Senior ML-focused data scientist on OpenAI’s Strategic Finance Data Science team. You build forecasting models for usage, revenue, compute load, and profitability that drive company-wide planning and pricing decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end forecasting models for key metrics like DAU, revenue, compute consumption, and profitability.
• Design features, build models, run experiments, and deploy scalable, interpretable forecasts into production.
• Develop internal forecasting tools and platforms so non-DS teams can self-serve predictions.
• Partner with product, infra, and finance leaders to tie model outputs to concrete decisions and scenarios.
• Track model performance over time and iterate on approaches as products, pricing, and user behavior evolve.
• Evaluate emerging forecasting techniques, including LLM‑aided and causal approaches, and bring useful ones into production.
