About the Team

We bring OpenAI's technology to the world through products like ChatGPT. We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

• Talk to users to understand their problems and design solutions to address them
• Work with the research team to get relevant feedback and iterate on their latest models
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers, product managers, designers, and operations folks to create cutting-edge products
• Optimize applications for speed and scale

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies
• Proficiency with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies
• Proficiency with some backend language (the team uses Python)
• Some experience with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL
• Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
• Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines
