Excerpt from the original posting
About the team The Applied AI Engineering, Sign in with ChatGPT team works across engineering, product, design, partnerships, and strategic customers to grow an open ecosystem of agent-enabled sites and services. We help partners adopt the OpenAI tech stack related to identity, permissioning, agent-auth primitives so users can safely connect ChatGPT and Codex to the tools, services, and workflows they already use. Our team also works with external partners on defining the standards for agent access, marketplace offerings as well as other agent enablement initiatives to ensure users of ChatGPT and Codex go from intent to task completion seamlessly. About the role We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer to help strategic partners design, build, validate, launch, and operate agent enablement integrations across web applications, connectors, APIs, CLIs, MCP servers, and developer tools. This is a hands-on, partner-facing product engineering role for someone who can contribute to the platform itself, lead sophisticated technical engagements, and turn ambiguous identity and agent-workflow requirements into secure, production-ready integrations.

The best person for this role moves fluidly between full-stack code, OAuth/OIDC and identity systems, product judgment, project leadership, and clear communication with engineers and executives. This role is a fit for a product-minded engineer who wants to stay close to users and partners while going deep on authentication, permissions, reliability, safety, and developer experience. The principle objective is to help partners ship low-friction, trustworthy agent experiences that work across real-world account states, enterprise constraints, and user expectations. This role is based in our San Francisco office. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. In this role, you will: - Own the technical partner journey for priority agent enablement integrations—from use-case selection and readiness assessment through architecture, prototype, implem…
