Our small but nimble and growing team supports the design and development needs across the entire company, and sits within a larger team of professionals in press relations, public policy, and employee communications.

Communicating the advances and benefits of AGI is some of the most important work at OpenAI, and our goal is to do it in a beautiful, accessible, scalable, systematic way, with transparency and authenticity.

About the Role

We’re looking for experienced frontend engineers on the communications design team who can ship new features to millions of openai.com visitors around the world. You’ll work closely with other engineers on the team, our design partners, as well as cross-functional stakeholders across the company.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Partner closely with design, marketing, and other cross-functional stakeholders to communicate OpenAI’s mission to the world

• Design and build efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive a complex web application with millions of visitors a day

• Plan and deploy front end infrastructure necessary to build, test, and deploy Openai.com

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience building production web apps at scale using TypeScript, NextJS , React and other web technologies. Bonus points for solid web fundamentals like native JavaScript and CSS

• Are comfortable building complex applications and systems from the ground up, with limited development infrastructure available to you
