About the job
OpenAI is seeking software engineers to join the Codex Cyber team, which is building the product and platform foundations for AI-native application security. This role is for strong full-stack or product-minded generalists who can own ambiguous product and platform problems end-to-end. You will work across user-facing product surfaces, developer workflows, backend services, security analysis pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and internal tooling. The team is early, small, and growing quickly, with a mandate to move fast and hire exceptional builders. You will collaborate closely with engineering, product, security research, infrastructure, and customer-facing partners as Codex Cyber becomes a major product and platform investment for OpenAI.
Responsibilities
- Build end-to-end product features for Codex Security, from developer-facing interfaces to APIs, backend services, and workflow tooling.
- Own ambiguous 0-to-1 projects across product pods, platform security controls, customer deployment workflows, and cyber model infrastructure.
- Translate security research and model capabilities into intuitive workflows that help teams find, validate, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Design scalable, observable systems for long-running analyses across large codebases and enterprise environments.
- Partner with product, security research, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams to iterate quickly from real-world feedback.
- Help shape the technical direction and architecture of Codex Cyber as the team and product surface area grow.
Requirements
- Excellent software engineer with strong fundamentals and range to work across product, backend, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
- Enjoy building high-quality product and platform experiences across the full stack.
- High-agency, low-drama, and comfortable owning features from concept to production in a fast-moving environment.
- Experience building developer tools, workflow-heavy platforms, security products, internal infrastructure, or product features for technical users.
- Strong product instincts and care about making complex technical systems understandable and useful.
- Excited by security and AI.
- Ability to turn messy requirements into crisp, scalable systems.
