Job Summary:
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. The role involves building and evolving foundational Swift frameworks to enhance app performance and reliability while collaborating with product engineering teams to address infrastructure needs.
Responsibilities:
• Build and evolve foundational Swift frameworks used across multiple apps and platforms (caching, state management, observability, navigation, component systems).
• Improve app performance (startup, responsiveness, memory, battery) through profiling, visibility, regression prevention, or architecture patterns.
• Strengthen reliability: systemically reduce crashes, improve error handling, or drive release process improvements.
• Embed with product engineering teams in order to understand pain points or emerging infrastructure needs.
• Develop internal tooling and automation (Bazel, CI, testing, guardrails, Codex agent skills and systems) that increase engineering velocity.
• Translate messy real-world constraints into clean abstractions: simple APIs, enforceable contracts, safe defaults.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Strong iOS engineering fundamentals (Swift, concurrency, networking, Xcode ecosystem, some UIKit/SwiftUI) and are familiar with the latest features and practices.
• Gravitate towards platform problems: frameworks, architecture, performance, or tools that empower and accelerate others.
• Take ownership: continually identify the biggest risks/opportunities, drive projects to completion, and update quickly.
• Care about measurement: instrument, define metrics, run experiments, and iterate based on data.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills—aligning on interfaces, navigating tradeoffs, and driving cross-team execution.
• Tend to think in systems, fight entropy, and enjoy an ambiguous challenge.
