About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience building and shipping full-stack consumer products in production.

  • Establish architecture, performance standards, testing practices, and operational safeguards for a fast-growing product area.
  • Debug and improve complex behavior across client, server, infrastructure, and external integrations.
  • Use qualitative feedback, product metrics, and experiments to improve user outcomes without compromising clarity or trust.
  • Collaborate across disciplines to turn ambiguous product opportunities into simple, reliable experiences.

  • Familiarity with authentication, identity, permissions, privacy, and secure data flows.
  • Experience building dashboards, data visualizations, or insight-oriented products.
  • Familiarity with observability, experimentation, product metrics, and iterative development.
  • Experience with applied AI, conversational interfaces, or systems that incorporate model-generated output.

About the Company

OpenAI

Builds AI models and the ChatGPT assistant

OpenAI researches and builds artificial intelligence models and turns them into products for people, developers, and businesses, with a stated mission of making sure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Its launch of ChatGPT in 2022 brought generative AI into everyday use. People use ChatGPT to ask questions, write, code, and analyze files, developers build OpenAI's models into their own apps through its API, and its Codex agent works through coding tasks on its own. OpenAI earns money from ChatGPT subscriptions, business plans, and API usage. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and others co-founded it in 2015; it is based in San Francisco and overseen by a nonprofit, the OpenAI Foundation.
