Join OpenAI as a Frontend Software Engineer to build a top-tier desktop experience for the Codex App, collaborating closely with design and engineering teams.
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products.
- Build and ship polished, high-performance UI across the Codex desktop app and IDE extension.
- Partner tightly with design to turn prototypes into production-quality experiences (layout, motion, typography, interaction details).
- Iterate on future interfaces for interacting with agents: delegation, task timelines, status/progress, handoffs, review, and control surfaces.
- Own frontend architecture decisions (component systems, state management, navigation, rendering performance).
- Improve quality and reliability through testing, instrumentation, and thoughtful UX for failure modes.
- Collaborate with platform/model/backend partners to integrate new capabilities into cohesive product flows.
- Have strong experience with modern frontend stacks (React, TypeScript) and a high bar for UI craft.
- Love design engineering: sweating the details while keeping velocity.
- Have built desktop-caliber product experiences (Electron or similar), and care about performance, responsiveness, and “it just feels right.”
- Enjoy exploring ambiguous problems and iterating rapidly with design and product.
- Think in end-to-end workflows, not isolated screens.
- Have experience with developer tools or IDE extensions (nice-to-have).
