Software Engineer, iOS

About the Team

The ChatGPT team works across research, engineering, product, and design to bring OpenAI’s technology to the world.

We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced iOS engineer to join as an early member of the OpenAI mobile team. In this role, you will build the first set of mobile experiences that use our latest and most powerful models. You will work closely with our product, design, and research teams to design, iterate, and safely bring our models to the world through mobile-first experiences. You will also lay the technical foundation for future mobile development at OpenAI.

In this role, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain the first set of iOS products built internally on top of OpenAI models
• Partner closely with our product design team to prototype and iterate on new experiences
• Plan and deploy mobile platform infrastructure necessary to build, test, and deploy these products
• Create a diverse and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and the challenging of group think
• Work with Product Managers and leadership to ensure projects are on track, your team is utilized effectively, and core engineering needs are continuously addressed

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience building production software systems at scale, including building production iOS apps at scale.
• Are comfortable building complex applications and systems from the ground up, with limited development infrastructure available to you.
• Have a voracious and intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills. An equally strong talent for sharing that information clearly and concisely with others
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions. You view changes as an opportunity to add structure and order when necessary
• Experience with other Apple platforms (such as macOS or watchOS) and/or Android is a plus, but not required.
