About the Team
The Codex Web Layer team provides the web-based systems and user experiences for Codex across the entire stack, from the Electron-like application framework that powers the application, to the user-facing in-app browser.
About the Role
In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing infrastructure and features end-to-end for the Codex desktop client application. You will help define what it means to be a hybrid agentic/interactive web browser. The team embodies “full stack” development from the lowest-level OS integration to the highest-level interaction design.
This role is based in San Francisco. The team uses a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offers relocation assistance to new employees.
Responsibilities
- Partner closely with product and design to conceive, design, and build features for Codex web browsing features on macOS and Windows. This role will focus mostly on the backend C++ layer and Chromium, but many features cross the full stack including some TypeScript.
- Partner with the wider Codex team to deliver a high-performance, stable, and secure application platform for client development. This includes API design and implementation (mostly in C++) and the infrastructure that supports deploying it (in Python, TypeScript, and agentic skills).
- Work with a small, experienced team of engineers on this critical and rapidly growing product.
Requirements / Qualifications
- Significant experience building technically complex features end-to-end.
- Strong C++ development experience, especially with browser environments like Chromium and Electron.
- Familiarity with web development and TypeScript is helpful but not required.
- Experience working on macOS and Windows desktop clients and OS integration.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and communicate clearly across product, design, and engineering.
- Self-directed: able to identify important work and execute it end-to-end.
