OpenAI is a leading research organization and company dedicated to creating advanced artificial intelligence technology, with a strong emphasis on safety and ethical considerations.

📋 Description

• Build end-to-end features across the Electron app (UI + Node/TypeScript backend layers). • Design robust integrations with the Codex CLI and app server (Rust), including process lifecycle, streaming output, and error handling. • Own IPC architecture and patterns (renderer/main boundaries, message schemas, backpressure, safety, debugging). • Build systems for orchestration: long-running tasks, incremental progress updates, cancellation, retries, and state synchronization. • Improve reliability, observability, and performance (logging/tracing/metrics, profiling, crash/debug tooling). • Partner with design and product to turn ambiguous needs into crisp, shippable workflows.

🎯 Requirements

• Have strong TypeScript/Node fundamentals and enjoy owning product features end-to-end. • Have experience with Electron or desktop app architecture (renderer/main separation, performance pitfalls, packaging/release concerns). • Are comfortable integrating with native processes/services (e.g., Rust) and designing clean, testable boundaries. • Know (or are excited to learn) IPC patterns and distributed-systems-like thinking applied locally: message ordering, buffering, backpressure, retries, idempotency. • Bring strong product judgment and enjoy iterating based on real usage and feedback. • Have experience with developer tools, CLIs, or IDE integrations (nice-to-have).

🏖️ Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit) • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks) • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law) • Mental health and wellness support • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible • Relocation support for eligible employees • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends, may also be provided.
