About the Team
Revenue Platform sits at the intersection of customer experience, financial precision, and enterprise-grade reliability. We build both end-user experiences and the underlying platform capabilities that power invoicing, billing, payments, and revenue recognition across OpenAI. Our work spans high-leverage customer surfaces and deep, reusable platform primitives used by multiple teams. These are foundational systems that will support OpenAI’s growth for years to come, and we’re looking for engineers who care deeply about craftsmanship, correctness, and building platforms and experiences that scale gracefully and are a joy to build on.
About the Role
As a Full Stack Engineer on the Revenue Platform team, you will design, build, and operate platform services and user-facing interfaces that form the backbone of OpenAI’s commercial engine. You’ll collaborate with product, design, finance, and engineering partners to deliver intuitive customer experiences while also creating shared foundations that other teams can safely and efficiently build on. Your work will directly shape the reliability, scalability, and trustworthiness of OpenAI’s most critical financial workflows.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve shared full-stack platform components including APIs, data models, services, and UI primitives that power billing, subscriptions, usage-based pricing, and enterprise entitlements across OpenAI.
- Design scalable, reusable revenue workflows and abstractions that other product teams can compose to launch new offerings without reinventing core billing logic.
- Partner closely with product, frontend, and backend engineers to deliver end-to-end revenue capabilities, ensuring platform components are intuitive to adopt and safe to extend.
- Develop internal platforms and tools used by Finance, Accounting, Sales, Support, and Go-To-Market teams to manage, audit, and reason about revenue data efficiently.
- Build automation and AI-powered capabilities within the Revenue Platform to reduce manual work, surface insights, and improve operational decision-making.
- Help define the architecture, standards, and contracts for a shared revenue platform, balancing flexibility for product teams with correctness, reliability, and compliance.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to translate ambiguous commercial, financial, and operational requirements into durable platform primitives that scale with OpenAI’s products and customer base.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building full-stack web applications with strong fundamentals across frontend, backend, and API design.
- Proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript) and backend technologies (Python preferred; Node, Go, or similar also welcome).
- Experience designing and implementing scalable, reusable platform components and revenue workflows.
- Strong understanding of financial and commercial concepts, including billing, subscriptions, and revenue recognition.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex technical and business problems and develop effective solutions.
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud-based platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and containerization (e.g., Docker).
- Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, logging).
- Experience with data modeling and database design.
- Knowledge of machine learning and AI concepts, including natural language processing and computer vision.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunity to work with a talented and diverse team of engineers and product managers.
- Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
- Professional development opportunities, including training and mentorship.
- Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options.
- Access to cutting-edge technology and tools.
- Recognition and rewards for outstanding performance.
