Tag name is followed by "@" symbol and proficiency level value.
About proficiency levels:
- 1-2 — basic awareness. Minimal hands-on experience, and a rudimentary understanding of the technology's purpose;
- 3-6 — daily use. Comfortable and regular usage, capable of handling common tasks and challenges related to the technology;
- 7-9 — you are an expert, you can teach others, you know all the pitfalls and tricks;
- 10 — exceptional knowledge, comprehensive understanding, and adeptness in all aspects of the technology, including advanced problem-solving. Think twice before claiming or demanding such level.

Details
The Coding team is reimagining how software is built in the AI era. We build tools and workflows that help software engineers work faster, tackle more ambitious projects, and spend less time on repetitive tasks.
AI has already transformed how code is written, but software engineering extends far beyond coding. Our mission is to apply AI across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) — from design and implementation to code review, testing, debugging, issue remediation, maintenance, documentation, and user support.
The team is responsible for developer-facing Codex experiences including the Codex IDE Extension and the terminal interface, used daily by developers ranging from individual open-source contributors to some of the world’s largest engineering organizations. The team also works closely with the open-source software community to build tools that help maintainers and contributors manage increasingly complex projects.
By building the future of software development, we're helping advance OpenAI's mission of ensuring that the benefits of AI reach people around the world.
Responsibilities
- Build end-to-end product experiences that span frontend applications, backend services, agent workflows, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling.
- Design AI-powered workflows that generalize across a wide variety of software engineering teams, languages, codebases, and development practices.
- Discover and implement novel ways to apply AI to eliminate friction throughout the software development lifecycle.
- Partner closely with product, design, and research to understand developer needs and rapidly translate insights into shipped product improvements.
- Work directly with users (developers at OpenAI, open-source contributors, startups, and large enterprises) to understand pain points and validate solutions.
- Improve the reliability, observability, scalability, and performance of the systems and workflows you build.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems.
- Experience with TypeScript, Rust, or a similar systems or application programming language.
- Deep familiarity with modern software development tools, workflows, and engineering practices.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools and a strong intuition for their strengths, weaknesses, and emerging opportunities.
- Desire to own products and features end-to-end, from conception through launch and iteration.
- Strong product judgment and a bias toward learning from real user feedback.
- Creativity in reframing problems, challenging assumptions, and inventing new workflows rather than simply optimizing existing ones.
