About the Team
We’re incubating brand-new lines of business inside ChatGPT for Work. If you love 0→1 building, shipping quickly, and owning large product surface area, this is a chance to help define how organizations capture and use their knowledge—turning messy, living information into fresh organizational memory, smarter retrieval, and first-party ChatGPT experiences that feel native at work.
About the Role
You’ll join a small, hands-on team (full-stack + backend) that operates with minimal process and a tight feedback loop with real customers from day one. You’ll work closely with product, design, and research to take ideas from exploration to production—owning outcomes end-to-end.
This role is based in Seattle, WA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
- Co-create the “rubric” for how org knowledge is captured, linked, evaluated, and applied in product flows.
- Build graph-backed, real-time systems that stay fresh by default (streaming + incremental updates).
- Ship enterprise-grade, first-party ChatGPT for Work features end-to-end (prototype → launch → iterate).
- Make pragmatic architecture choices that balance speed, reliability, and privacy/security for enterprise users.
- Wear the founder hat: define scope, set milestones, measure impact—own outcomes, not tickets.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- 5+ years of product engineering experience building and shipping user-facing features end-to-end.
- Strength in modern web stacks (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript, React) and at least one backend language (we use Python).
- Experience with relational databases (e.g., Postgres/MySQL) and comfort optimizing for speed and scale.
- Product intuition: you talk to users, prioritize signal over noise, and iterate quickly.
- Ability to thrive with ambiguity and move fast in a high-impact, high-ownership environment.
- Knowledge graphs, embeddings/retrieval, vector stores, or near-real-time data pipelines.
- Building secure, compliant enterprise features (authN/Z, data governance, auditability).
- Observability and performance tuning across the stack.
