Founding Full Stack Software Engineer, Consulting
About The Position
The Founding Full Stack Software Engineer will build first-party OpenAI products for consulting, owning features end to end—from frontend interfaces to backend services and integrations. The role works closely with consulting design partners and OpenAI colleagues across product, design, research, and engineering to turn insights from individual engagement teams into products that can be distributed broadly. Success is measured by adoption and the value generated for consulting firms. The engineer will work directly with consultants and engagement leaders to observe workflows, identify problems shared across firms, design and prototype useful experiences, and build services and APIs connecting OpenAI models with consultants’ tools. The role includes adapting products to firms’ different methods and working environments while protecting client-confidential information; evaluating products through real assignments with design partners and researchers; and shipping broadly, owning rollout and reliability, and using feedback and production data to improve the product after launch.
Requirements
- Have shipped and operated a substantial product, with hands-on ownership across frontend and backend systems.
- Have strong product and interface instincts, especially for software outputs that people need to understand, question, or correct.
- Enjoy working directly with users and recognize when an individual customer request points to a broader problem.
- Be able to turn an unfamiliar workflow into a working prototype and make technical choices that support many teams.
- Make thoughtful tradeoffs among quality, speed, and reliability, and explain those choices to colleagues across disciplines.
Nice To Haves
- Firsthand consulting experience combined with hands-on experience building and shipping software.
- Experience building software for research, analysis, collaboration, or other complex professional work.
- Experience developing AI applications and evaluating their usefulness with expert users.
- Experience designing enterprise products that handle sensitive information or fit different organizations’ ways of working.
- Experience taking a product from its first few users to broad adoption as a founder or early engineer.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with design partners, consultants, and engagement leaders to observe their work and identify problems worth solving across firms.
- Design and prototype experiences that help consultants perform important parts of their work better from day one.
- Build across the stack, including user interfaces, services, and APIs connecting OpenAI models with consultants’ tools.
- Build for firms with different methods and working environments while protecting confidential client information.
- Evaluate products with design partners and researchers using real assignments; assess where products improve work and what needs to change.
- Ship products broadly to consulting teams and own rollout and reliability.
- Use feedback and production data to guide post-launch improvements.
