Software Engineer, Full Stack — Dots
OpenAI · New York City
About this role
## About the Team Dots is building personal AI agents that help people make progress on their goals—even when they’re away from ChatGPT. These agents can learn preferences, maintain context, work across applications, and use cloud computers to carry out tasks. The team brings together product engineering, design, and research to turn frontier model capabilities into useful everyday experiences—defining how people delegate work, understand what an agent is doing, and stay in control. ## About the Role Dots is seeking **Senior and Staff Full Stack Software Engineers** to build Dots product experiences—from the interface through the services that power them. You’ll help define how people delegate tasks to personal agents, follow their progress, and collaborate with them over time. This role combines hands-on product development with the systems work needed to make persistent, asynchronous agent experiences reliable. ## What You’ll Do - Build and launch features across **web interfaces, APIs, backend services, and data models** - Create workflows for **task creation, progress updates, agent feedback, and results** that remain coherent across sessions and devices - Translate emerging model capabilities into **product prototypes** with research, product, and design partners - Design clear interfaces between **product surfaces** and **agent execution systems** - Improve **performance and reliability** across the stack (including user-facing latency and recovery from partial failures) - Own projects end-to-end: **exploration → architecture → implementation → launch → iteration** based on user feedback - Help establish **technical direction, testing practices, and observability** as the product grows ## You Might Thrive If You Have - Significant experience building and shipping products across **frontend and backend systems** - Comfort moving between **user interfaces, service design, APIs, and data modeling** - Strong product instincts and care for making complex capabilities understandable to users - Experience taking ambiguous ideas from **concept to production**, making practical tradeoffs between iteration speed and long-term maintainability - Understanding of **asynchronous workflows**, including reasoning about state, consistency, and failure across system boundaries - Ability to collaborate effectively with **design, product, research, and engineering** partners - Ownership experience on complex engineering projects, including helping others make sound technical decisions - Experience launching new consumer products, building agent/workflow applications, or working in small teams with broad engineering ownership (especially relevant) - AI/ML experience is helpful but **not required** ## Equal Opportunity OpenAI is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other legally protected characteristics.
