Responsibilities
- - Develop foundational technologies and frameworks that enable generative UI and computer use experiences.
- - Collaborate closely with designers, product thinkers, and engineers to rapidly explore and validate new concepts.
- - Build end-to-end prototypes and production systems that can influence future OpenAI products.
Requirements
- About the team The Computer Use and New Interfaces team is focused on discovering and building the next generation of AI-native interfaces.
- We believe that the value of AI is increasingly constrained not by model capabilities, but by the ways people interact with those capabilities.
- Our mission is to create new interaction paradigms that unlock the full potential of AI and integrate it more deeply into people's lives and work.
- Our team does both near-term product development and longer-term product incubation that can influence experiences across ChatGPT, Codex, future OpenAI products, and emerging device platforms.
- About the role We're looking for exceptional engineers who are excited to invent entirely new ways for people to interact with AI.
- You'll help shape both the capabilities and the user experiences that define how people engage with AI. In this role
- you will: - Design, prototype, and build novel AI-native interfaces and interaction models.
- You might thrive in this role if you: - Have strong software engineering fundamentals and
- experience building user-facing products. - Enjoy working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the path forward is not always obvious. - Have
- experience with Apple platforms, Windows, or desktop development - Are excited by zero-to-one product development and early-stage exploration. - Have a strong product sense and enjoy thinking deeply about user
- experience and interaction design. - Can rapidly prototype ideas while also building robust, scalable systems when needed. - Are energized by cross-functional collaboration and enjoy working closely with design and product partners. - Are curious about how AI will transform software and motivated to help define what comes next. - Believe that breakthrough products emerge from tight feedback loops between ideas, prototypes, technology, and users.
- About OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence
Additional details
- We work in a highly collaborative, design-driven environment where engineering, product, and design operate as one team.
- We value rapid experimentation, prototyping, and iteration, creating the shortest possible path between an idea, a working system, and a product decision.
- This role requires comfort with ambiguity, strong product instincts, and a willingness to move fluidly between experimentation and production systems.
- - Contribute to platform technologies that can be adopted across multiple product surfaces.
- - Help establish technical direction and engineering best practices for an incubation-stage team.
- - Participate in a highly iterative development process focused on learning, experimentation, and user feedback.
