OpenAI Labs explores the edges of what's possible with AI. We start from the latest breakthroughs – or overlooked research with untapped potential – and expand their capabilities by prototyping entirely new ways for people to benefit from AI.
As a Full-Stack Software Engineer on the Labs team, you will create new ways for people to interact with AI.
Your work will begin as rapid internal experiments: prototypes built to explore surprising capabilities or novel interfaces. Some will spark entirely new products or research directions, shaping how millions of people experience AI. Across projects, you'll ship these ideas internally, learn from how people use them, and – if they prove promising – hand them off to product teams to take forward before moving on to the next frontier.
Sometimes you'll start by playing with a researcher's early demo, identify emerging behaviors, and push on them in collaboration with researchers. Other times, you'll start from a capability that hasn't yet been fully explored and design a novel interface around it.
We're looking for creative people who love to tinker and explore, chasing sparks of magic and shaping them into experiences that help the world go further and discover new possibilities.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
