Jigar Bhati transitioned from Twitter to OpenAI, seeking a smaller, startup-like environment after working at the large tech company for almost seven years. His experience in infrastructure and scaling contributed to his hiring at OpenAI, which he believes retains a startup feel focused on productivity and collaboration. He was already impressed by ChatGPT prior to joining and recognized the opportunity for substantial impact. At OpenAI, he has engaged in significant projects while benefiting from a high-caliber team that fosters professional growth.
OpenAI still feels like a startup with a focus on productivity and collaboration.
I was looking for a change in general. Twitter was a big tech company, and it was handling millions of users already.
There was definitely that connection with the product that, as a software engineer, you often don't feel.
You're contributing while also learning from different people, so there's exponential growth in your professional career as well.
