Full Job Description
About the Team

ChatGPT Engineering builds the product surfaces people use every day-bringing new model capabilities to life through fast, polished, and trustworthy user experiences. Frontend engineering sits at the center of that work: partnering closely with design, product, research, and backend teams to ship features that are intuitive, performant, and reliable at global scale.

Our teams span Growth, Ecosystems, Personalization, Search & Knowledge Experiences, Platform UI, and more-building UI foundations and product experiences that help users discover, trust, and get value from ChatGPT.

About the Role

We're hiring Front End Software Engineers to build best-in-class product experiences across ChatGPT. You'll work on high-impact user flows, UI architecture, and performance-shipping features that make advanced AI feel simple, responsive, and delightful.

What You'll Do
  • Build and ship high-quality product experiences across web surfaces.
  • Partner with design and product to translate ideas into polished, accessible UI.
  • Own frontend architecture decisions-component systems, state management, routing, and client-side performance.
  • Improve reliability, observability, and quality through testing, monitoring, and tooling.
  • Collaborate closely with backend and data teams to integrate APIs and deliver end-to-end features.
  • Contribute to long-term technical direction and participate in design/architecture reviews.
You Might Thrive Here If You:
  • Have strong frontend experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and building production UI at scale.
  • Care deeply about performance, accessibility, and craft-and you sweat the details without losing speed.
  • Enjoy working across the stack and partnering tightly with design and product.
  • Are energized by ambiguity and moving quickly while maintaining a high quality bar.


Location

We are open to hiring in San Francisco, New York, and Seattle.
