About the Team:
The OpenAI API team builds the foundation that enables every developer to harness OpenAI’s models safely, reliably, and at scale. Our mission is to make it effortless for any developer to build transformative products with OpenAI’s models. We’re responsible for the infrastructure and product layers that allow millions of developers to integrate our models, fine-tune behavior, manage data, and deliver experiences to their users. We collaborate deeply across product, research, and engineering teams to drive innovation at the model layer and then directly translate that into value for customers.
About the Role:
As the Agents Product Manager for the API team, you'll be at the forefront of defining and guiding the future of how developers build agentic applications on top of our AI models. You’ll set clear priorities and drive impactful improvements to model capabilities, balancing user needs, safety considerations, and technical innovation.

Define strategic priorities and roadmap for improving agentic infrastructure for API users, focusing on user outcomes and emerging capabilities.
-
Partner with research and engineering teams at a technical level to translate those priorities into developer products and features (SDKs, APIs, and more).
-
Deliver quickly while maintaining a high bar for product quality and user experience.
You might thrive in this role if you:
-
Have 5+ years of product management or related industry experience.
-
Proven track record of building for developers, with strong intuition for designing clear, flexible APIs and primitives that scale from early experimentation to production use.
-
