Software Engineer, ChatGPT Product Development

About the Team

We bring OpenAI's technology to the world, with a focus on ChatGPT and the ways to make it more useful.

About the Role

We are looking for a self-starter engineer who loves building new products in an iterative and fast-moving environment. In this role, you will be bringing our large language models to millions of users around the world. Users of ChatGPT include everyday enthusiasts as well as professionals — you’ll interface directly with users to develop the features they want most! You will also collaborate closely with the core research team that created the ChatGPT model and work with them to continually improve it. You will be a core part of the effort to push these technologies forward, and onto the next 100x users.

 In this role, you will:

• Own the development of new customer-facing ChatGPT features and product experiences end-to-end
• 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

Your background looks something like:

• 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 (we use 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
