Job description

About the Team
At OpenAI, we're building the connective tissue between our mission and our people. People Innovation Labs is a fast-moving engineering team embedded in the People organization, focused on rethinking how we find and retain the best talent and empower everyone to do their best work. From recruiting to culture, we're designing systems that give our People Team a significant edge by infusing OpenAI's models and first-principles thinking into every aspect of our work. Our projects range from greenfield 0-1 products like OpenHouse (our internal knowledge hub) to AI-powered automations and scalable recruiting tools. We're defining the future of work at OpenAI, creating a blueprint for how AI can supercharge productivity, culture, and innovation.
About the Role
We are looking for a self-starter engineer who loves building new products in an iterative and fast-moving environment. This team is for full stack product engineers who are deeply curious about culture, recruiting and people development, and want to know everything from the business strategy and metrics down through the code that gets us there. In this role, you will work with members of the People Team and leaders across the company to build software focused on HR, culture and recruiting from the ground up. You'll also innovate on how we apply LLMs in these domains.
In this role, you will:
  • Own the full product development lifecycle for new people products end-to-end
  • Talk to internal stakeholders to understand their problems and design solutions to address them
  • Work with the research team to share relevant feedback and iterate on applying their latest models
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, HRBPs, recruiters, researchers, product managers, designers, and people in operations to create cutting-edge products

Your background might look something like:
  • 4+ years of professional engineering experience (excluding internships) in relevant roles at tech and product-driven companies
  • Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who built a product from scratch is a plus
  • Interest in building company culture and/or recruiting the world's most talented people
  • Proficiency with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies
  • Proficiency with a backend language (we use Python)
  • Some experience with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL
  • Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
  • Ability to move quickly in an environment with loosely defined tasks and competing priorities or deadlines

We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products.
