Résumé du poste

OpenAI is seeking an AI Deployment Engineer in San Francisco to design, build, evaluate, submit, launch, and maintain high-utility plugins for ChatGPT and Codex. You will work with partner teams and internal stakeholders across product, engineering, legal, policy, and GTM to drive successful deployments.

The role combines coding with product judgment and project leadership, focusing on building reliable, useful integrations that scale with partner needs and user value.

Qualifications

• Have 4-6 years of professional software engineering experience and are strong enough technically to contribute to the platform itself while still enjoying hands-on coding.
• Have built and operated production APIs, backend services, developer platforms, apps, plugins, connectors, or integrations and can reason across frontend, backend, auth, reliability, privacy, evaluations, and UX constraints.
• Bring strong product sense and can distinguish a plugin that “works” from one that will be genuinely useful to users.
• Communicate clearly with external engineers, product leaders, executives, and internal cross-functional stakeholders.
• Can make ambiguous partner ideas concrete through runnable prototypes, API contracts, technical specs, and pragmatic implementation guidance.
• Are comfortable reading unfamiliar code, making targeted platform changes, and debugging distributed systems with logs, traces, metrics, and experiments.
• Care deeply about user trust, privacy, data handling, and product quality in AI-powered experiences.
• Balance urgency with judgment and can keep launches moving while staying precise about details that matter.

Responsabilités

• Own the technical partner journey for priority B2B plugins—from pitch and readiness assessment through architecture, build, evaluation, submission, launch, and ongoing maintenance.
• Identify strong plugin use cases, define crisp user journeys and expected behaviors, and help partners focus on workflows where ChatGPT or Codex can create meaningful user value.
• Write production and sample code, build prototypes and reference implementations, and create the technical guidance, evals, launch checklists, and debugging tools that move partners from concept to production.
• Debug API contracts, OAuth/login, tool invocation, latency, retries, rate limits, observability, data model, and user-experience issues across partner and OpenAI systems.
• Review partner architectures and implementation plans for API design, scopes and permissions, data handling, safety, privacy, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Contribute targeted fixes and improvements to ChatGPT, Codex, and the plugins platform, including APIs, SDKs, docs, examples, internal tooling, partner debugging workflows, and launch guardrails.
• Work with product, engineering, design, partnerships, legal, policy, support, and go-to-market teams to make partner launches smooth and repeatable.
• Bring structured signal from partners back to product and engineering, and turn patterns from successful launches into reusable playbooks, examples, platform requirements, and implementation guidance.
