Software Engineer, Codex -Enterprise Controls

OpenAISan Francisco, CA
$230,000 - $385,000

About The Position

The Codex Enterprise team builds the ecosystem, governance, and enterprise capabilities that help Codex spread across developers, teams, and organizations worldwide. The Enterprise Controls team owns the systems that allow companies to safely deploy Codex across their organization while protecting their most sensitive code, data, and internal knowledge. As Codex adoption grows inside large organizations, customers are increasingly trusting Codex with their most valuable assets: proprietary codebases, internal documentation, customer data, and sensitive workflows. This role will help build the enterprise control plane that makes Codex secure, governable, and trustworthy at scale. You will design and operate backend systems that give enterprise administrators visibility and control over how Codex is used across their organization. You will work across identity, access, encryption, policy enforcement, auditability, and admin controls. This may include systems that let customers manage encryption keys, control which Codex capabilities are enabled, enforce organizational policies, and understand how data flows through Codex. This role owns systems end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to production operations, with a strong bias for security, reliability, quality, and velocity.

Requirements

  • Strong backend software engineering fundamentals and experience building production-grade distributed systems.
  • Proficient in one or more backend languages such as Python, Go, Rust, Java, or C++.
  • Experience with security, identity, authorization, encryption, key management, policy systems, or enterprise governance.
  • Understand enterprise foundations such as SSO/SAML/OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, audit logging, compliance controls, and data governance.
  • Enjoy building foundational platform capabilities that unlock many product surfaces and customer workflows.
  • Comfortable working across ambiguous technical and product requirements, especially in fast-moving 0 → 1 environments.
  • Care deeply about reliability, security, observability, and customer trust.

Responsibilities

  • Build backend systems that protect enterprise customer data, including encryption, key management, access controls, data isolation, retention controls, and secure data handling patterns.
  • Design and operate the Codex enterprise control plane, enabling administrators to configure, enforce, and audit how Codex is used across users, teams, projects, and environments.
  • Build policy and governance systems that allow enterprises to enable or disable specific Codex capabilities, define organizational constraints, and safely roll out new AI-powered workflows.
  • Develop reliable, observable, and scalable services across identity, authorization, configuration, audit logging, compliance, and enterprise administration.
  • Partner closely with product, security, infrastructure, GTM, and customer-facing teams to translate complex enterprise requirements into simple, durable product and platform capabilities.
  • Help define what “enterprise-grade” means for AI software engineering systems as Codex becomes a trusted teammate inside the world’s largest organizations.
