Details

ChatGPT Engineering builds the product surfaces people use every day — bringing new model capabilities to life through fast, polished, and trustworthy user experiences. Frontend engineering sits at the center of that work: partnering closely with design, product, research, and backend teams to ship features that are intuitive, performant, and reliable at global scale.

Our teams span Growth, Ecosystems, Personalization, Search & Knowledge Experiences, Platform UI, and more — building UI foundations and product experiences that help users discover, trust, and get value from ChatGPT.

About the Role

We’re hiring Front End Software Engineers to build best-in-class product experiences across ChatGPT. You’ll work on high-impact user flows, UI architecture, and performance — shipping features that make advanced AI feel simple, responsive, and delightful.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship high-quality product experiences across web surfaces.
  • Partner with design and product to translate ideas into polished, accessible UI.
  • Own frontend architecture decisions — component systems, state management, routing, and client-side performance.
  • Improve reliability, observability, and quality through testing, monitoring, and tooling.
  • Collaborate closely with backend and data teams to integrate APIs and deliver end-to-end features.
  • Contribute to long-term technical direction and participate in design/architecture reviews.

Requirements / What You Might Thrive Here If You

  • Strong frontend experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and building production UI at scale.
  • Care deeply about performance, accessibility, and craft — and you sweat the details without losing speed.
  • Enjoy working across the stack and partnering tightly with design and product.
  • Are energized by ambiguity and moving quickly while maintaining a high quality bar.

Location

We are open to hiring in San Francisco, New York City, and Seattle.

Benefits

  • Base pay range: $185,000 - $385,000 (base pay may vary by market, experience, and other factors). In addition to salary, total compensation includes equity and potential performance-related bonuses.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts.
  • Pre-tax accounts (Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, commuter expenses).
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
  • Paid parental leave, medical and caregiver leave.
  • Flexible PTO and paid company holidays/office closures.
  • Mental health and wellness support; employer-paid basic life and disability coverage.
  • Annual learning and development stipend.
  • Daily meals in offices and meal delivery credits as eligible.
  • Relocation support for eligible employees.
