Founding Full Stack Software Engineer, Consulting
OpenAI · San Francisco
About this role
## About the Team The Consulting team is part of OpenAI’s Enterprise Verticals organization. We help consulting teams do better work for their clients by partnering with design teams to understand how they operate—then using what we learn to build products consultants everywhere can use. We’re focused on removing barriers that keep consultants from using AI in their day-to-day work, bringing together OpenAI’s models and products to accelerate the core consulting workflow—from investigating a client’s question to delivering advice they can act on. ## About the Role We’re looking for a **Founding Full Stack Software Engineer (Consulting)** to build first-party OpenAI products for consulting. In this role, you’ll own features end to end—from the frontend interfaces consultants use to the backend services and integrations that power them. You’ll work closely with consulting design partners and colleagues across product, design, research, and engineering at OpenAI to turn learnings from individual engagement teams into broadly distributable products. ### What you’ll do - Work directly with design partners: sit with consultants and engagement leaders, observe how they work, and identify problems worth solving across firms. - Design and prototype experiences that help consultants do an important part of their job better from day one. - Build across the stack: user interfaces, services, and APIs connecting OpenAI’s models with tools consultants use. - Build for firms with different methods and working environments while protecting confidential client information. - Evaluate what you build with design partners and researchers using real assignments to measure impact and iterate. - Ship to consulting teams broadly, owning rollout and reliability; use feedback and production data to guide improvements after launch. ### You might thrive if you - Have shipped and operated a substantial product with hands-on ownership across frontend and backend systems. - Have strong product and interface instincts—especially when users need to understand, question, or correct what software produces. - Enjoy working directly with users and can spot when one customer’s request reflects a broader need. - Can turn an unfamiliar workflow into a working prototype, then make the technical choices needed to support many teams. - Make thoughtful tradeoffs across quality, speed, and reliability—and can explain those choices across disciplines. ## Nice to Have - Firsthand consulting experience plus hands-on experience building and shipping software. - Building software for research, analysis, collaboration, or other complex professional work. - Developing AI applications and evaluating usefulness with expert users. - Designing enterprise products that handle sensitive information and fit different organizations’ ways of working. - Taking a product from early users to broad adoption as a founder or early engineer. ## About OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring general-purpose AI benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of AI capabilities and work to safely deploy them through our products. OpenAI is an equal opportunity employer.
