About The Position

Dots is building personal AI agents that help people make progress on their goals, including when they are away from ChatGPT. The agents can learn preferences, maintain context, work across applications, and use cloud computers to carry out tasks. The team combines product engineering, design, and research to turn frontier model capabilities into everyday experiences, defining how people delegate work, understand agent activity, and remain in control.

The role is for Senior and Staff Software Engineers to build Dots’ mobile web experience. The engineer will create responsive, accessible interfaces that let people start work, follow progress, and guide agents from a phone or browser. The work includes establishing interaction patterns for ongoing, asynchronous tasks and making sophisticated agent capabilities clear and approachable. The role owns features from exploration and technical design through launch, measurement, and refinement, and contributes to frontend architecture and engineering practices while remaining hands-on.
