Strategic Initiatives, Codex
About The Position
The Codex team is building AI systems that can write code, reason about software, and act as autonomous collaborators for engineers. Our goal is to transform how software is built—moving from tools that assist developers to agents that can take on meaningful chunks of work independently. Strategic Initiatives sits at the intersection of research, engineering, product, and go-to-market. We focus on high-leverage, ambiguous problems that accelerate Codex adoption, shape the product, and unlock new use cases. We’re hiring technical generalists to work on 0→1 and 1→n initiatives for Codex. In this role you’ll identify important problems, prototype solutions quickly, and drive them through to real-world impact. You might build new agent workflows, partner with leading companies to deploy Codex in production, or design entirely new product surfaces. The common thread: you operate where the path isn’t obvious yet. This is a high-autonomy, high-context role for people who like to figure things out from first principles and ship quickly. Codex can already perform tasks like writing features, fixing bugs, and proposing changes autonomously—your job is to figure out what becomes possible because of that.
Requirements
- Strong software engineer or technical builder (any stack)
- Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Proven track record of shipping projects end-to-end
- Curious and pragmatic—you can go from idea → prototype → iteration quickly
- Interested in AI, but not necessarily an ML specialist
- Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice To Haves
- Experience building developer tools, infrastructure, or internal platforms
- Experience working with APIs, automation, or workflow systems
- Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Codex, Copilot, Cursor, etc.)
- Experience in startups, early-stage teams, or new product launches
Responsibilities
- Identify and execute on high-impact, ambiguous opportunities across the Codex ecosystem
- Prototype and ship agent-driven workflows, tools, and integrations
- Work directly with users and customers to understand real-world developer needs
- Translate messy problems into concrete technical solutions and product directions
- Collaborate across research, engineering, and product to shape Codex capabilities and roadmap
- Build demos, internal tools, or production systems that accelerate adoption
- Help define best practices for using AI agents in software development workflows
