Your work will be developing features (frontend and backend), processing data, prompting models, and pairing with designers to build new products that spark joy.
The role includes building production systems to deploy our features by leveraging the high scale internal platforms powering ChatGPT and the OpenAI API. When needed, you will build new systems that scale.
