Software Engineer, Full Stack - Financial Experience

Details

Financial Experience sits at the intersection of user experience, financial accuracy, and enterprise-grade reliability. The team builds customer-facing surfaces and deep technical integrations that underpin invoicing, billing, payments, and revenue recognition. These foundational systems support OpenAI’s commercial platform and enable enterprises to adopt, scale, and manage usage of OpenAI products.

As a Full Stack Engineer on the Financial Experience team, you will design, build, and operate user-facing interfaces and backend services that form the backbone of OpenAI’s commercial engine. You will work closely with product, design, finance, and other engineering teams to deliver reliable, intuitive experiences that customers trust with their most critical financial workflows.

Responsibilities

• Build high-quality full-stack features across billing and account management surfaces, combining polished UI, performant APIs, and robust backend logic.
• Design and evolve the architecture for core billing flows including invoices, payments, subscriptions, purchase controls, and enterprise usage transparency.
• Develop internal tooling and platforms for Finance, Accounting, SalesOps, and Support — including dashboards, workflows, automation, and interfaces to downstream systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to deeply understand financial accuracy, compliance, and operational needs, and translate them into reliable, scalable software.
• Ensure correctness and reliability of financial data across systems, with attention to auditing, traceability, and idempotent workflows.
• Operate services in production: monitor health, investigate issues, improve reliability, and build safeguards to protect customer trust.
• Contribute to shaping the team’s roadmap, technical direction, and engineering culture as the commercial platform is modernized and scaled.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building full-stack web applications with strong fundamentals across frontend, backend, and API design.
• Proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and backend technologies (Python preferred; Node, Go, or similar also welcome).
• Experience designing or working with scalable backend systems, data models, and event-driven or workflow architectures.
• Strong product instincts and passion for building intuitive, high-reliability user experiences.
• Experience working in environments where correctness, traceability, and data integrity matter — e.g., billing, payments, finance, enterprise SaaS, or similar domains (preferred, not required).
• Comfort owning features end-to-end across UI, APIs, data, and operations.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

• Base salary range: $255,000 – $405,000 (base pay may vary depending on market location, skills, and experience).
