Engineering Manager – AI-Native Artifacts

Neura Market; San Francisco, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 250,000 - 350,000; Full time

Job summary

OpenAI is seeking an Engineering Manager, Artifacts, to lead a fast‑moving team building AI‑native artifact creation experiences across documents, sheets, decks, and emerging formats. You will guide full‑stack engineering, set architectural direction, and stay hands‑on to shape systems and debugging efforts.

This role sits at the crossroads of product, research, and infrastructure. You will partner with researchers, product, design, and safety to translate capabilities into shipped improvements,

Qualifications

• Experience leading engineering teams while remaining technically close to the work.
• Strong full‑stack product engineering fundamentals across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and model‑facing systems.
• Excited by AI‑native creation tools and opinions on what makes documents, slides, spreadsheets, dashboards and interactive artifacts useful.
• Able to operate in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments where product, model capability, and architecture evolve.
• Experience partnering with research, ML, product, design, infrastructure, or data teams.
• Care about craft, quality, latency, reliability, and user experience.
• Have judgment about building product‑specific systems versus reusable platform foundations.
• Learn quickly, communicate clearly, and bring technical depth to the team.
• Desire to help define and own a new category of AI‑native work.

Responsibilities

• Lead, manage, and grow a team building AI‑native artifact creation experiences across documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, and emerging artifact formats.
• Set technical direction across full‑stack product systems, generation orchestration, editing and rendering surfaces, storage, reliability, and model integration.
• Responsible for hands‑on architecture, code review, debugging, system design, and critical product decisions.
• Partner closely with research teams to translate model capabilities, training needs, evals, and behavioral insights into shipped product improvements.
• Work with product, design, infrastructure, and safety partners to define what excellent artifact creation should feel like for users.
• Create the engineering plan for the next phase of the team, including hiring, milestones, technical investments, and operating cadence.
• Balance near‑term product velocity with long‑term platform quality, reliability, extensibility, and developer productivity.
• Debug complex failures across model behavior, product surfaces, infrastructure, latency, and user‑facing quality.
• Help expand the team’s scope from familiar artifact types into new forms of AI‑native work.
