OpenAI's Emerging Products team is a lean, high-output product lab that builds products at the forefront of AI model capabilities. The team identifies new product opportunities, builds them quickly, dogfoods them internally, and launches successful products to users. Decisions are informed by data, user research, and analytics. You will own ambiguous 0-to-1 work from idea through prototype, validation, and handoff. This is a full-stack role with strong frontend and product emphasis. You will build interfaces and supporting backend systems needed to test new experiences quickly, while making sound architectural choices that enable successful concepts to scale. Key responsibilities: - Build and ship high-quality product experiments across the full stack - Turn ambiguous user needs and emerging technical capabilities into testable product concepts, using research and metrics to guide iteration - Own technical direction for 0-to-1 projects, balancing speed, reliability, and a clear path from prototype to scalable product - Partner closely with design, product, research, and engineering teams to dogfood, evaluate, launch, and transition successful experiments You should have a track record of building and shipping end-to-end products in fast-moving, startup, founder-led, growth, or other high-ownership environments. Strong frontend engineering skills are essential, along with enough backend and systems depth to make sound full-stack architectural decisions. You pair product intuition with evidence, using user research and product data to identify opportunities and make pragmatic tradeoffs. You operate with high autonomy, move quickly through ambiguity, and create lightweight structure where little exists. You communicate clearly across disciplines and are willing to learn whatever is needed to move a product forward. Requirements: - Track record of building and shipping end-to-end products in fast-moving, startup, founder-led, growth, or high-ownership environments - Strong frontend engineering skills - Backend and systems depth sufficient to make sound full-stack architectural decisions - Product intuition paired with evidence-based decision making - Ability to operate with high autonomy and move quickly through ambiguity - Clear cross-disciplinary communication skills
