Full-Stack Software Engineer, Emerging Products

The team is responsible for identifying new product opportunities, building them quickly, dogfooding them internally, and then launching the successful products to users. We use data, user research, and analytics to inform our ideas, and make decisions on what experiments are worth iterating, stopping, or scaling., We’re looking for a senior, product-minded software engineer to own ambiguous 0-to-1 work from idea through prototype, validation, and handoff. This is a full-stack role with a strong frontend and product emphasis: you will build the interfaces and supporting backend systems needed to test new experiences quickly, while making sound architectural choices that enable successful concepts to scale. This role is based in our Mission Bay office in San Francisco.

In this role, you will:

• Build and ship high-quality, product experiments across the full stack.
• Turn ambiguous user needs and emerging technical capabilities into testable product concepts, using research and metrics to guide iteration.
• Own technical direction for 0-to-1 projects, balancing speed, reliability, and a clear path from prototype to scalable product.
• Partner closely with design, product, research, and engineering teams to dogfood, evaluate, launch, and transition successful experiments.

• Have a track record of building and shipping end-to-end products in fast-moving, startup, founder-led, growth, or other high-ownership environments.
• Bring strong frontend engineering skills and enough backend and systems depth to make sound full-stack architectural decisions.
• Pair product intuition with evidence, using user research and product data to identify opportunities and make pragmatic tradeoffs.
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy, move quickly through ambiguity, and create lightweight structure where little exists.
• Communicate clearly across disciplines and are willing to learn whatever is needed to move a product forward.

The Emerging Products team is a lean, high-output product lab group that builds products at the forefront of model capabilities. We collaborate across all teams within the company, from research and infrastructure to consumer products., OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity., At OpenAI, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to help people solve immense global challenges, and we want the upside of AI to be widely shared.
