About this data
ElegyLabs isn't affiliated with OpenAI. These numbers come from OpenAI's public job board on Ashby, read on October 27, 2026 and refreshed every Monday. Roles and seniority are worked out from job titles, so a few land in the wrong bucket. We link to each posting on OpenAI's own board and don't copy job descriptions; pay figures are the ranges the postings themselves state.
