About the Team

ChatGPT is evolving from answering questions to becoming a deeply personalized assistant that helps people discover, create, and make decisions across everyday life. We're building new multimodal product experiences that combine language, images, personalization, and interactive interfaces to help millions of users accomplish tasks in entirely new ways.

This team sits at the intersection of AI research, product engineering, design, and consumer experiences. We move quickly, ship frequently, and work on products that define how people interact with AI every day.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build end-to-end product experiences across web services, APIs, and modern frontend applications.
  • Partner closely with product, design, and research to rapidly prototype and launch new AI-native experiences.
  • Build intuitive, performant interfaces that make advanced AI capabilities feel simple and delightful.
  • Develop scalable backend systems that power personalized, real-time product experiences.
  • Work with multimodal capabilities including text, images, and interactive UI components.
  • Iterate quickly using user feedback, experimentation, and product metrics.
  • Help define engineering standards, architecture, and technical direction for a fast-growing product area.

Requirements / Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong experience with modern frontend technologies (React, TypeScript, Next.js, or similar).
  • Experience building scalable backend services using Python, Go, Node.js, Rust, or comparable technologies.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience building highly interactive consumer products.
  • Background working with AI, machine learning products, search, recommendations, personalization, or multimodal systems is a plus.
  • A track record of shipping products quickly while maintaining engineering quality.
  • Comfortable moving across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product architecture; strong systems thinking and attention to detail.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication with designers, researchers, product managers, and model teams.
