Answer-first company summary

Key observations

Deterministic summaries of the published company artifact. Comparison language appears only when an exact 7-, 30-, or 90-day boundary exists; the tables below remain the exact-value source.

  1. Latest public snapshot

    769 active OpenAI postings in the latest public snapshot

    The Ashby snapshot collected Sep 4, 2026 contains 769 active advertised roles. Posted Band has 1 successful UTC snapshot day from Sep 4, 2026 through Sep 4, 2026, but no exact 7-, 30-, or 90-day comparison is available; this is a point-in-time observation, not a trend claim.

  2. Posted salary transparency

    642 of 769 active postings include parseable employer-posted salary evidence

    That is 83.5% of active roles in the Sep 4, 2026 snapshot. 5 original currency/pay-interval groups are kept separate, with no foreign-exchange conversion or annualization. This is source evidence, not a market-pay estimate.

  3. Latest employer labels

    “Go To Market” is the largest published department label with 132 active postings; “San Francisco” is the largest published location label with 575 active postings

    These counts come from the employer's latest department and location labels. A posting can carry multiple labels, so rows can overlap and do not necessarily sum to 769 active roles.

Multi-location and multi-team postings can appear in more than one row, so these assignments do not necessarily sum to the active-role total.

Employer-disclosed compensation evidence

Salary disclosure by department and location

Each rate uses active roles carrying the employer's label as its denominator and roles with at least one parseable employer salary disclosure as its numerator.

A posting can carry multiple employer-provided labels and therefore appear in more than one row. Rows are ranked by active labeled roles and do not necessarily sum to the company total. Employer taxonomies are shown as published rather than normalized.

Original units

Source-native salary range distribution

Each row keeps one employer-stated currency and pay interval separate. Bound summaries show minimum / median / maximum across range observations in that row.

A posting may contribute multiple observations when the employer lists separate location or compensation tiers. Posting counts are distinct within each row; observations and full ranges use the range-observation grain. Groups are not compared across currencies or pay intervals.

No verifiable salary range change is available yet.

Posted Band only publishes a change when the same posting and compensation scope have one uniquely matched range on consecutive successful UTC snapshot days.

From the source

All current openings (769)

Each row lists the role, location, first observed date, and posted salary, in that order. Every role comes from the latest successful employer ATS snapshot. First observed is the earliest successful UTC snapshot in this archive carrying the same source job ID. A multi-label role appears once under its first employer-supplied department label.

Provenance

Source and interpretation

Counts come from the named public ATS endpoint and reflect advertised postings, not completed hires, employee headcount, or a claim about company performance. Salary observations are employer-posted ranges, not Posted Band estimates; missing bounds, currencies, or intervals are not inferred.
