We combine product engineering, plugins and skills, connectors, data, evaluations, and customer evidence to turn useful demos into reliable daily work.\nThis opening sits within the Technology vertical inside Enterprise Verticals. The group focuses on repeatable workflows for people at technology companies, beginning with functions such as data and analytics, sales, and design, and carries the shared platform needs-tool integration, permissions, quality measurement, and safe rollout-across those experiences.\nWe work closely with Design, Research, GTM, Security, and platform teams, as well as with customers and design partners. Success means that people can reach a trustworthy first result, understand what the system did, and keep using the workflow-not merely that a prototype exists.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a full-stack product engineer who can own ambiguous enterprise workflows end to end: understand a customer problem, shape the product, build across frontend and backend, work through platform dependencies, instrument quality, and learn quickly with design partners.\nYou will build across ChatGPT Work surfaces, services, plugins, connectors, and data or permission boundaries when the experience requires it. You will make quality and rollout observable through evaluations, product and operational signals, and clear fallback or rollback paths.\nThis is a product-engineering role for someone who can move between user problems and system details without losing ownership of either. The strongest candidates will be able to turn specific customer evidence into a generalizable product, explain scope and architecture tradeoffs, and carry a feature from an early prototype through a bounded production rollout.\nIn this role, you will:\nBuild and ship role-specific workflows across ChatGPT Work surfaces, services, plugins, and connectors.\n\nTurn customer and design-partner evidence into clear product decisions, milestones, and measurable quality gates without overfitting to a single customer.\n\nPartner with Design, Research, GTM, Security, and platform teams.\n\nCreate robust evaluations, observability, and rollback paths.\n\nOwn the full loop from prototype through bounded rollout and iteration.\n\nDefine explicit contracts and fallback paths with shared platform teams when a workflow depends on connectors, permissions, model routing, or other cross-team systems.\n\nYou might thrive in this role if:\nYou are a strong product engineer with excellent product judgment.\n\nYou are comfortable moving across frontend, backend, APIs, data, and systems integration.\n\nYou communicate clearly with customers and cross-functional partners.\n\nYou use evidence and tests to make ambiguous work observable.\n\nYou care about enterprise permissions, reliability, privacy, and rollout safety.\n\nYou have shipped a user-facing product through ambiguity and can explain the decisions, tradeoffs, and evidence behind it.\n\nYou can translate a concrete customer workflow into a general product without losing the details that make the first experience useful.\n\nPreferred qualifications:\nExperience building and operating full-stack production products across a modern frontend stack (such as React/TypeScript) and backend services (such as Python, Go, Node.js, or comparable technologies).\n\nExperience designing evolvable APIs, data models, and distributed or integration-heavy systems, including authentication, identity, permissions, secure data flows, and partial-failure behavior.\n\nExperience owning production systems at scale, including observability, performance, testing, incident response, safe migrations, staged rollout, and rollback.\n\nExperience building applied-AI or conversational products and evaluating probabilistic behavior with grounding, quality signals, and human-feedback loops.\n\nExperience building dashboards, data visualizations, or workflow and insight products that make complex information understandable and actionable.\n\nFamiliarity with experimentation, product metrics, and iterative development, including instrumenting user outcomes from first use through retained usage.\n\nAbout OpenAI\nOpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
