As a Full-Stack Software Engineer on the Social Products team, you will prototype, build, iteratively rebuild, and deploy new products in the social space.
The team aims to use OpenAI’s technology to rethink communication, collaboration, and creation. We aim for practically useful, easy to understand, powerful primitives that compose together into delightful products.
Your work will be developing features (frontend and backend), processing data, prompting models, and pairing with designers to build new products that spark joy.
The role includes building production systems to deploy our features by leveraging the high scale internal platforms powering ChatGPT and the OpenAI API. When needed, you will build new systems that scale.
Our ideal candidate works well in small, nimble teams and is not afraid to go back to the drawing board frequently. We’re looking for creative people who have ideas, and have execution strength.
