About the role
About the Team
The Product Explorations team is a small, high-ownership product exploration group focused on turning new model capabilities into impactful user experiences.
We operate across Applied and Research, working closely with product, engineering, design, and research partners to identify promising opportunities, prototype quickly, validate ideas, and determine which efforts should scale into larger product investments.
Our objective is broad: discover and build experiences that can meaningfully improve user engagement, product impact, and revenue across OpenAI’s products. We move quickly, follow strong product signals, and take ideas from early exploration to meaningful user impact.
About the Role
We are looking for product-minded full stack engineers to join the Product Explorations team and drive high-impact, net-new product explorations.
In this role, you will independently identify promising opportunities, move quickly from idea to prototype, and work across teams to validate and launch new experiences. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, use strong product intuition, and make thoughtful decisions in ambiguous environments.
You may work on a new ChatGPT experience one week, explore a new model capability the next, and partner with Research or Applied teams to turn the strongest ideas into scalable products. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys building from scratch, iterating quickly, and working on projects where the path forward is not always obvious.
In this role, you will:
Identify and pursue high-leverage product and technical opportunities across OpenAI’s products
Move quickly from idea to prototype, validation, launch, and iteration
Build full stack product experiences that unlock value from new model capabilities
Work closely with Research, Applied, product, design, data science, and engineering partners
Use user feedback, product signals, and experimentation to determine which ideas should scale
Drive alignment across teams and helping shape a culture of speed, ownership, curiosity, and thoughtful experimentation
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have experience building and shipping full stack product experiences, from early prototypes through production
Thrive in early-stage, highly iterative environments and can move quickly from idea to execution with limited structure
Bring strong product intuition and an ability to identify what matters most for users and the business
Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, design, and research
Bring a high degree of autonomy, agency, and ownership in ambiguous environments
Want to work at the intersection of model capabilities, product development, and user impact
Location:
This role is exclusively based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
