Demo Studio Engineer

OpenAI•San Francisco, CA

1d•$284,000 - $315,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Demo Studio translates OpenAI’s most advanced capabilities into tangible, high-impact customer experiences. We design and deliver the demos, applications, live experiences, and supporting content that help executives and practitioners understand what is possible with AI. Our work sits at the intersection of product, engineering, design, marketing, and go-to-market. We operate as a hybrid product studio and live production team, building experiences that are technically credible, narratively compelling, and reliable in high-stakes settings. We’re looking for a Demo Studio Engineer to help build the demo content, applications, workflows, and technical assets that power OpenAI’s major events, launches, executive programs, booths, breakouts, and scaled content experiences. This role will partner closely with Demo Studio Leads, Content Leads, product teams, designers, and event production partners to create specific pieces of content for high-impact moments. Rather than owning the full demo portfolio for an event or initiative, you will build against the narrative, creative, and technical requirements defined by the Leads, helping turn ambitious demo concepts into polished, reliable, production-ready experiences. You may work on main-stage demo assets, booth experiences, technical workflows, prototype applications, screen recordings, system outputs, explainers, scaled content modules, or other event-ready materials. The work requires technical fluency, strong craft, and an ability to understand how a demo moment fits into a broader story. This role is designed as a growth path into broader demo ownership over time. As you build context and demonstrate strong judgment, you will be given increasingly complex workstreams, more ambiguous problem spaces, and opportunities to own larger pieces of the demo experience.

Strong attention to detail and care deeply about craft, reliability, usability, and polish
Comfortable working in high-stakes environments such as launches, conferences, executive demos, or live event settings
Can move quickly through iteration while maintaining quality and accuracy
Understand how technical demos support a larger story, audience, and business objective
Excited to work across live events and scaled digital content, from stage-ready moments to reusable assets
