What this interview will probe

Application Security Engineers architect and ship production-grade security services — auth services, access brokers, secure proxies, and key-management infrastructure — to reduce risk across OpenAI's products and platform. The role blends strong systems software engineering with isolation, container, and kernel-level hardening expertise. A technical interview would probe threat modeling of a real service, secure design of authn/authz and secrets handling, common web/API vulnerability classes, and reasoning about isolation boundaries for AI agents that execute untrusted code or tool calls.
