OpenAI OpCo, LLC
OpenAI OpCo, LLC made 239 filings covering 1,296 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $280,000 a year. 188 of those 239 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
OpenAI OpCo, LLC filed 2 permanent labour certifications between 2026-03-19 and 2026-06-12, of which 2 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
