About the Team

We bring OpenAI's technology to the world through products like ChatGPT.

We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

We are looking for a self-starter engineer who loves building new products in an iterative and fast-moving environment. In this role, you will be bringing our large language models to millions of users around the world. Our users include everyday enthusiasts as well as professionals for ChatGPT, and everyone from hobbyists to large enterprises for the OpenAI API — you’ll interface directly with users to develop the features they want most! You will also collaborate closely with the research teams that created the core models and work with them on continual improvement. You will be a key part of the effort to push these technologies forward, and onto the next 100x users.

 In this role, you will:

  • Own the development of new customer-facing ChatGPT features and product experiences end-to-end

  • Talk to users to understand their problems and design solutions to address them

  • Work with the research team to get relevant feedback and iterate on their latest models

  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers, product managers, designers, and operations folks to create cutting-edge products

  • Optimize applications for speed and scale

Your background looks something like:

  • 5+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies

  • Proficiency with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies

  • Proficiency with some backend language (we use Python)

  • Some experience with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL

  • Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)

  • Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines
