OpenAI

About The Team

The Leverage team is scaling OpenAI with OpenAI. We apply our latest models to real-world problems in order to assist with or automate work across the company—then share what we learn back to the broader product and research teams. We’ve built an ecosystem of automation products that’s applied everywhere from customer operations to workplace to engineering.

We love building products for folks sitting right next to us, and we take the time to add the little big touches that delight. Our goal is to prototype fast, then build for reliable long-term impact. We're constantly looking for the similarities and patterns in different types of work, and focus on building simple, generic patterns that we can apply across many domains.

About The Role

We’re looking for an engineer who’s passionate about blending production-ready platform architecture with new tech and new paradigms. You’ll push the boundaries of OpenAI’s newest technologies to enable interactions and automations that are not only functional, but delightful. We value proactive, customer-centric engineers who can get the foundational details right (data models, architecture, security) in service of enabling great products.

In This Role, You Will

  • Own the end-to-end development lifecycle for new platform capabilities and integrations with other systems.
  • Collaborate closely with product engineers and internal customers to understand their problems and implement effective solutions.
  • Work with the research team to share relevant feedback and iterate on applying their latest models.

Your Background Might Look Something Like

  • Relevant engineering experience at fast-growing product-driven companies.
  • Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who has built a product from scratch.
  • Experience cutting through ambiguity and balancing competing priorities to deliver measurable business impact.
