OpenAI Hires Senior Engineer Faster Than You Swipe Right on Tinder
KEY POINTS
- •Jerene Yang joined OpenAI’s San Francisco office in October 2024 after a career at Google.
- •Her hiring process took a week, starting with a recruiter contacting her on Monday and ending with a signed offer on Friday.
- •Key to success was a 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. technical deep dive and demonstrating brutal efficiency with time and AI automation.
Jerene Yang, once Google’s database whisperer for Cloud Spanner, got snapped up by OpenAI’s San Francisco HQ in October 2024 with a hiring speed that would embarrass pizza delivery. A recruiter pinged her on a Monday, her 'technical deep dive' marathon lasted from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday (because why sleep?), she got the offer Thursday, and signed Friday—quicker than most order takeout. Her secret sauce? Mastering brutal efficiency and babysitting AI tools, because if you can’t automate your job away, are you even trying? Apparently, if you can explain your complex systems while under a single-day interview blitz, OpenAI’s ready to hand you the keys to fake intelligence land.

OpenAI’s hiring sprint: Monday ping, 9-6 interview grind, signed Friday. All you need is brutal efficiency and the ability to out-chat robots. Apparently coffee is optional but hustle isn’t.
Why spend months job hunting when you could get hired faster than your last breakup heatwave? OpenAI’s recruitment is basically speed dating for nerds.
If you can cram a 9-to-6 technical deep dive and still get hired by Friday, your resume deserves a CEO’s cape—not just a LinkedIn check mark.
