About the Team
OpenAI's mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity. Bringing that mission to life requires products and infrastructure that make advanced AI useful, reliable, and safe for people, developers, companies, and institutions around the world.

Our product engineering teams build and operate the systems that connect OpenAI's research to real-world use. This includes the OpenAI API, ChatGPT, enterprise offerings, and platform services that support secure, compliant, high-quality experiences at scale. We work across engineering, product, design, research, infrastructure, safety, and go-to-market teams to help users and organizations apply AI to meaningful work.

About the Role

We are looking for frontend engineers to craft the user interfaces that make advanced AI accessible, intuitive, and trustworthy. You will partner with design, product, research, and infrastructure teams to build responsive, performant, accessible, and secure web applications.

Your work will help bring OpenAI's models and platform capabilities to life across experiences for users, developers, teams, and organizations. This role is well suited for engineers who combine strong product taste with deep frontend systems judgment.

In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain scalable web applications using TypeScript, React, and modern frontend tooling.

• Create reusable UI components, frontend infrastructure, and product patterns that accelerate high-quality development.

• Optimize client performance, reliability, and accessibility across browsers, devices, and network conditions.

• Work closely with designers to implement intuitive, polished, and user-centered interfaces.

• Contribute to end-to-end product planning, technical decision-making, and product quality across OpenAI's application surfaces.

• Partner with research, safety, and infrastructure teams to turn model capabilities into production-ready product experiences.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 7+ years of professional experience, excluding internships, building production web applications at scale.

• Are fluent in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and modern web tooling.

• Care deeply about design fidelity, accessibility, performance, reliability, and product polish.

• Enjoy iterating quickly while maintaining high standards for user experience and code quality.

• Have strong product judgment and can partner effectively with design, product, research, and infrastructure teams.

• Have interest in AI/ML; direct AI/ML experience is helpful but not required.

• Have proven ability to navigate loosely defined work, manage competing priorities, and make sound technical tradeoffs in a fast-moving environment.

• Bring former founder or early engineer experience building a product from scratch; this is a plus.

Title note: At OpenAI, research and engineering hires share the internal title Member of Technical Staff. We use Staff / Senior Staff externally to signal the depth of experience, ownership, and technical leadership expected for this role.
