About The Position

As a Frontend Engineer on OpenAI’s Identity team, you’ll build the user-facing experiences that make secure access to OpenAI simple, clear, and trustworthy for organizations. You’ll design and implement core identity flows — such as sign-in, account management, permissions, and admin experiences — that enable enterprises to adopt OpenAI’s products with confidence.
You’ll work closely with design, product, security, and backend teams to translate complex identity systems like SSO, RBAC, and identity federation into intuitive, reliable interfaces. Your work will directly shape how users and administrators understand and manage access across OpenAI’s products, helping unlock secure, large-scale enterprise adoption of AI.
This role is based in San Francisco, California. There may be relocation options available.

Requirements

• Have at least 5+ years of frontend engineering experience building and maintaining production-grade web applications, with a focus on usability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• Bring deep frontend expertise and genuine enthusiasm for frontend frameworks, performance optimization, latency, and building reusable, composable UI systems.
• Are excited to take ownership of critical access flows, helping scale and improve sign-in, permissions, and account experiences across OpenAI’s products.
• Enjoy working closely with cross-functional partners — including product, design, security, and go-to-market teams — to shape thoughtful, user-centered solutions.
• Have experience evolving or re-architecting production systems to support new capabilities and increased scale.
• Care deeply about user experience and take pride in crafting interfaces that make complex identity and access systems feel simple and trustworthy.
• Thrive in fast-moving environments where requirements may be ambiguous and priorities evolve, and can still execute quickly without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

• Build scalable, reusable frontend components and patterns for core identity experiences, including sign-in flows, account management, permissions, and admin surfaces.
• Partner closely with backend and security engineers to deliver end-to-end identity capabilities such as SSO, RBAC, SCIM provisioning, and delegated access through clear, intuitive interfaces.
• Translate complex authentication and authorization systems (e.g., SAML, OIDC, OAuth) into user experiences that are understandable, reliable, and trustworthy for both admins and end users.
• Help define frontend architecture, standards, and patterns for a shared identity platform used across OpenAI’s products.
• Build internal tools and surfaces that enable teams across OpenAI to integrate, manage, and reason about identity and access control effectively.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, Security, and Go-To-Market partners to turn ambiguous enterprise requirements into high-quality, user-centered interfaces.
