OpenAI has finally started on campus hiring starting from UC Berkeley. Andrew Peng from OpenAI posted on X from the Wozniak Lounge at UC Berkeley campus about their inaugural campus recruiting event.
OpenAI has also started their Emerging Talent Tech Community where new graduates can be a part of the OpenAI community.
According to a Reddit discussion, OpenAI has plans of hiring 4 people currently with people predicting that the next universities would be Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, and Caltech University, or maybe MIT as well.
OpenAI has always been on a hunt for attracting young talent. Last year, the team launched its Residency Programme for people from various backgrounds with a $210,000 annual salary. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, highlights the significance of this program, stating, “This program is an excellent way for people who are curious, passionate, and skilled to sharpen their focus on AI and machine learning—and to help us invent the future.”
Possibly, as OpenAI expands to India, it might attract graduates from top IITs and NITs soon.
