ABOUT THE TEAM The Product & Platform teams at OpenAI are responsible for delivering the company’s most impactful offerings—such as ChatGPT, our API platform, and new enterprise capabilities—to a global and diverse customer base. These systems must perform at scale and deliver exceptional experiences to developers, consumers, and businesses alike. The ChatGPT engineering org builds and operates the systems that bring product improvements to users across backend services, web, mobile, and desktop platforms.

This role combines systems thinking, technical program leadership, and hands-on operating rigor across a broad engineering surface. 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. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Own the cross-functional roadmap for improving local development, CI, testing, build workflows, and release infrastructure. - Create a durable intake and prioritization mechanism for developer friction, using evidence to focus teams on the highest-impact improvements. - Lead programs that improve deployment speed and safety, including pre-merge confidence, progressive rollout, release guardrails, rollback readiness, and post-deploy validation. - Improve the reliability and predictability of release trains across ChatGPT backend services, web, mobile, and desktop platforms. - Partner with platform, infrastructure, reliability, engineering acceleration, and observability teams to reduce deployment-related incidents and regressions. - Increase visibility into what is shipping when, and make cross-platform dependencies and launch risks clear to engineers, product managers, and launch owners. - Define
