Build OpenAI's developer-facing API surfaces: Playground, docs, SDKs, and onboarding flows for millions of developers
This role sits on OpenAI's API Experience team, owning the end-to-end developer experience for the OpenAI API — the Playground, documentation, SDK generation pipelines, and onboarding flows. You'll ship full stack projects end to end using TypeScript/React on the front end and a backend language like Python, Go, or Rust, working closely with product, design, and API engineering. Expect a strong emphasis on product judgment: turning ambiguous developer pain points into simple, high-quality experiences at scale.
