Developer Experience Engineer, Cyber

Details

The Developer Experience team at OpenAI empowers developers globally by providing tools, resources, and support for integrating AI into applications and products. The team creates demos, developer tools, sample applications, and technical content for Codex and frontier models such as GPT-6 Astra, GPT-Live, and GPT-Image-2.5.

The role focuses on creating technical content, developer tools, and sample applications that help developers and security teams secure the software they build and depend on. The engineer will turn OpenAI cybersecurity capabilities, including Codex Security, into clear, runnable examples and useful learning experiences.

Responsibilities

• Build demos, sample applications, and developer tools demonstrating practical uses of Codex, OpenAI APIs, and Cyber products for secure software development and defensive workflows.
• Create tutorials, blog posts, videos, and code samples that help developers understand security findings, validate and prioritize vulnerabilities, review proposed changes, and verify fixes.
• Develop reference integrations connecting AI-assisted security workflows to source control, code review, and continuous integration.
• Partner with Cyber engineers and security researchers to ensure examples are technically accurate and that results clearly communicate evidence, validation, and the limitations of model-generated findings.
• Apply sound security practices in examples and tooling, including appropriate permissions, credential handling, protection of sensitive code and data, and human review of agent actions.
• Engage developers and security practitioners through events, workshops, and online communities.
• Gather and synthesize practitioner feedback to identify friction, inform product priorities, and improve the journey from onboarding to everyday use.
• Contribute to developer-facing interfaces, documentation, and tooling while working with product, engineering, and go-to-market partners.
• Own projects from initial prototype through release and ongoing improvement.

Requirements

• Strong engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping useful software, developer tools, or products for technical users.
• Experience building applications with AI models, APIs, or agent workflows and translating experimentation into reliable, maintainable code.
• Experience with application security, vulnerability management, secure development workflows, or security tooling.
• A portfolio of technical content, compelling demos, sample applications, or developer tooling that helps others learn and build.
• Strong developer empathy and the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly through writing, code, and conversation.
• Experience collaborating across engineering, product, and technical user communities, with sound judgment regarding usability, security, and correctness.
• Ability to own ambiguous problems end to end, learn unfamiliar domains, and iterate quickly as products and user needs evolve.
• Commitment to responsible AI development and an interest in helping developers use powerful capabilities safely and effectively.

Benefits

• Base salary of $198,000–$335,000 per year, plus equity.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts.
• Pre-tax FSA, dependent care FSA, and commuter accounts.
