OpenAI Product Engineer at OpenAI focused on backend development for security and platform teams using Go. Build infrastructure and workflows enabling AI agents to work reliably in secure cloud environments.
Responsibilities
We’re hiring backend-focused Product Engineers across our platform and security product teams. You’ll build infrastructure and customer-facing workflows that let developers and AI agents work reliably in parallel.
You’ll work primarily in Go on APIs, complex networking, development environments, and orchestration for long-running tasks. You’ll own outcomes from understanding a user’s problem and choosing an approach through shipping, operating, and improving the solution, working closely with frontend, infrastructure, and security engineers.
Work directly with customers to build developer and security workflows, from getting a project running to investigating findings, reviewing agent-generated changes, and verifying fixes.
Build Go services and APIs for provisioning cloud environments, running agents in customer infrastructure, and integrating with source control, CI, and other developer tools.
Design reliable orchestration for long-running, parallel work, including durable state, retries, cancellation, and recovery.
Build security into execution workflows through clear permissions, credential handling, isolation, and auditability.
Own production quality: testing, safe rollouts, observability, performance, and operational reliability.
Partner with frontend and design colleagues to make complex backend capabilities straightforward to use.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have strong Go skills and experience building and operating production backend systems.
Understand distributed systems, concurrency, and state, and can reason about failures and recovery.
Have practical experience with Linux, containers, cloud infrastructure, and networking, including routing, DNS, and secure connectivity.
