About the Team
At OpenAI, we’re building the connective tissue between our mission and our people. People Innovation Labs is a fast-moving engineering team embedded in the People organization, focused on rethinking how we find and retain the best talent and empower everyone to do their best work. From recruiting to culture, we’re designing systems that give our People Team a significant edge by infusing OpenAI’s models and first-principles thinking into every aspect of our work. Our projects range from greenfield 0-1 products like OpenHouse (our internal knowledge hub) to AI-powered automations and scalable recruiting tools. We’re defining the future of work at OpenAI, creating a blueprint for how AI can supercharge productivity, culture, and innovation.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on engineering manager to lead technical and product strategy and execution for People Innovation Labs’ OpenHouse pod. OpenHouse is our flagship employee-facing product, serving as a culture and communication hub and an organization-wide front door into all other aspects of People Innovation Labs’ work. The OpenHouse pod is composed of full stack product engineers who are deeply curious about culture, recruiting and people development, and want to know everything from the business strategy and metrics down through the code that gets us there. In this role, you will work with People Innovation Labs leadership to build and grow the team and OpenHouse product, innovating on how we apply LLMs along the way.
In this role, you will:
- Manage and build out a diverse team of high performing full-stack engineers.
- Own the full product development lifecycle for new people products end-to-end.
- Collaborate with other leaders on the team to set technical direction for building robust and scalable products.
- Collaborate closely with a broad set of stakeholders, including product, design, internal comms, and other engineering teams.
- Coach and nurture engineers to accelerate their growth and learning.
Your background might look something like:
- 6+ years of professional engineering experience (excluding internships) in relevant roles at tech and product-driven companies.
- 2+ years of professional software team leadership experience as an EM or tech lead, and an interest in people management.
- Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who built a product from scratch is a plus.
- Interest in building company culture and/or recruiting the world’s most talented people.
- Proficiency with JavaScript, React, Python, Postgres/MySQL, and other web technologies
- Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required).
- Ability to move quickly in an environment with loosely defined tasks and competing priorities or deadlines.
At OpenAI, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to help people solve immense global challenges, and we want the upside of AI to be widely shared. Join us in shaping the future of technology.
