How about a background check - can anyone take a user-entered DL and randomly Google stuff to see what they find?

Can I store your SSN in plain text in a text file? Why not?

The user had to upload their ID for IDV but I use Vercel. I guess I have to put it on S3. What should the bucket policy be for all these driver's license photos - there are so many???

Okay. This makes it sound like they're more sophisticated but it seems more like they are less sophisticated, less specific, and a lot more vague in the job descriptions they themselves create.

If you look at any technical role, game dev or something where people are building important things at scale - there are a lot of specifics. Libraries, methodologies, where if you didn't know them you are nowhere near a fit.

I'm just wondering. It's OpenAI. Surely there is some domain-specific something beyond "has experience shipping front-end and back-end services" since that includes basically everyone.

It makes this job look like a Starbucks role.

Maybe this is part of the problem

I'm amazed that the requirements are so low (or at least this vague) for jobs at companies like these.

Has anyone else had the experience of going to an interview and feeling like you were never asked any qualifying questions?

All the questions were easy, your answers were straightforward, you "got them right", but then were not chosen?

I find on the other side, they're also left with dozens of people who "passed" and then it comes down to a pretty arbitrary decision on who gets hired (if we are talking external, no referral, etc.)

I wonder if they can make job descriptions highly specific to filter the shortlist faster and more effectively (to actually get a shortlist).

Anyway end rant. Cool job, hope you fill it.
