## Description

We are looking for an AI Deployment Engineer to help strategic partners design, build, evaluate, submit, launch, and maintain high-utility plugins for ChatGPT and Codex.

This is a hands-on, partner-facing product engineering role for someone who can contribute to the platform itself, lead sophisticated partner engagements, and translate ambiguous product needs into production-ready integrations.

You will work across partner product and engineering teams and OpenAI's product, engineering, partnerships, legal, policy, design, and go-to-market teams.

**Responsibilities:**

- Own the technical partner journey for priority B2B plugins,from pitch and readiness assessment through architecture, build, evaluation, submission, launch, and ongoing maintenance.

- Identify strong plugin use cases, define crisp user journeys and expected behaviors, and help partners focus on workflows where ChatGPT or Codex can create meaningful user value.

- Write production and sample code, build prototypes and reference implementations, and create the technical guidance, evals, launch checklists, and debugging tools that move partners from concept to production.

- Debug API contracts, OAuth/login, tool invocation, latency, retries, rate limits, observability, data model, and user-experience issues across partner and OpenAI systems.

- Review partner architectures and implementation plans for API design, scopes and permissions, data handling, safety, privacy, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

- Contribute targeted fixes and improvements to ChatGPT, Codex, and the plugins platform, including APIs, SDKs, docs, examples, internal tooling, partner debugging workflows, and launch guardrails.

- Work with product, engineering, design, partnerships, legal, policy, support, and go-to-market teams to make partner launches smooth and repeatable.

- Bring structured signal from partners back to product and engineering, and turn patterns from successful launches into reusable playbooks, examples, platform requirements, and implementation guidance.

**Benefits:**

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts

- Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)

- 401(k) retirement plan with employer match

- Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)

- Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees

- 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time

- Mental health and wellness support

- Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage

- Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth

- Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible

- Relocation support for eligible employees

- Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends, may also be provided.
