Software Engineer, ChatGPT Shopping

About the Team

ChatGPT is evolving from answering questions to becoming a deeply personalized assistant that helps people discover, create, and make decisions across everyday life. We’re building new multimodal product experiences that combine language, images, personalization, and interactive interfaces to help millions of users accomplish tasks in entirely new ways. This team sits at the intersection of AI research, product engineering, design, and consumer experiences.

We move quickly, ship frequently, and work on products that define how people interact with AI every day.

We’re looking for exceptional full stack product engineers who love building polished consumer experiences from the ground up. You'll work across frontend, backend, AI‑powered workflows, and rich interactive interfaces to create new product experiences that blend conversation, visual understanding, personalization, and commerce. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, researchers, product managers, and model teams to rapidly prototype, launch, and iterate on experiences used by millions of people.

This is an opportunity to help invent entirely new interaction paradigms—not just build traditional web applications.

• Design and build end-to-end product experiences across web services, APIs, and modern frontend applications.
• Partner closely with product, design, and research to rapidly prototype and launch new AI-native experiences.
• Build intuitive, performant interfaces that make advanced AI capabilities feel simple and delightful.
• Develop scalable backend systems that power personalized, real‑time product experiences.
• Work with multimodal capabilities including text, images, and interactive UI components.
• Iterate quickly using user feedback, experimentation, and product metrics.
• Help define engineering standards, architecture, and technical direction for a fast-growing product area.

• Have significant experience building consumer-facing products end to end.
• Are comfortable moving across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product architecture.
• Care deeply about craft, user experience, and product quality.
• Enjoy ambiguity and are energized by taking ideas from zero to one.
• Think like both an engineer and a product builder.
• Have strong systems thinking while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
• Communicate well across engineering, design, product, and research teams.

• Strong experience with modern frontend technologies (React, Type Script, Next.js, or similar).
• Experience building scalable backend services using Python, Go, Node.js, Rust, or comparable technologies.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience building highly interactive consumer products.
• Background working with AI, machine learning products, search, recommendations, personalization, or multimodal systems is a plus.
• A track record of shipping products quickly while maintaining engineering quality.

Successful engineers on this team combine strong technical execution with excellent product judgment. They move fluidly between prototyping and production systems, collaborate effectively across disciplines, and consistently deliver experiences that feel intuitive, elegant, and magical to users. They are excited by fast iteration, comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, and motivated by building products that redefine how people use AI every day.
