Job summary

OpenAI's Developer Experience team creates demos, tools, and content to help developers securely integrate AI. In this role you work with Codex and Cyber products to deliver runnable, secure examples for developers and security teams.

You will own projects from prototype to release, collaborating with engineers, researchers, and GTM partners to improve the developer journey and accelerate adoption of OpenAI APIs in security-conscious workflows.

Qualifications

Strong engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping useful software, developer tools, or products for technical users.
Experience building applications with AI models, APIs, or agent workflows, and translating experimentation into reliable, maintainable code.
Experience with application security, vulnerability management, secure development workflows, or security tooling.
A portfolio of technical content, compelling demos, sample applications, or developer tooling that helps others learn and build.
Strong developer empathy and the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly through writing, code, and conversation.
Experience collaborating across engineering, product, and technical user communities, with thoughtful judgment about usability, security, and correctness.
Comfort owning ambiguous problems end to end, learning unfamiliar domains, and iterating quickly as products and user needs evolve.
A commitment to responsible AI development and an interest in helping developers use powerful capabilities safely and effectively.

Responsibilities

Build demos, sample applications, and developer tools that demonstrate practical ways to use Codex, OpenAI's APIs, and Cyber products for secure software development and defensive workflows.
Create tutorials, blog posts, videos, and code samples that help developers understand security findings, validate and prioritize vulnerabilities, review proposed changes, and verify fixes.
Develop reference integrations that connect AI-assisted security workflows to source control, code review, and continuous integration, helping teams move from initial setup to repeatable use.
Partner with Cyber engineers and security researchers to make examples technically accurate and results understandable, with clear guidance on evidence, validation, and the limitations of model-generated findings.
Demonstrate sound security practices in examples and tooling, including appropriate permissions, credential handling, protection of sensitive code and data, and human review of agent actions.
Engage developers and security practitioners through events, workshops, and online communities, serving as an approachable technical resource and advocate.
Gather and synthesize practitioner feedback to identify friction, inform product priorities, and improve the journey from onboarding to everyday use.
Contribute directly to developer-facing interfaces, documentation, and tooling, working with product, engineering, and go-to-market partners to help users adopt and succeed with OpenAI's developer products.
