The opportunity
With Codex we’re building an AI software engineer. One that you can pair with, delegate to, or even ask to take on future tasks proactively.
What you'll do
Shape the evolution of Codex by identifying how teams actually use (and: break) AI-powered software engineering, and driving changes across product, infrastructure, ecosystem surfaces, and model behavior to make Codex a truly reliable teammate for organizations.
Build the core ecosystem, team, and enterprise primitives that make Codex: usable at scale, including plugins, skills, hooks, discovery surfaces, RBAC, admin and audit surfaces, usage, rate limits and pricing controls, managed configuration and constraints, and analytics that give teams and operators deep visibility into how Codex is being used.
Design and own secure, observable, full-stack systems that power Codex across: web, IDEs, CLI, and CI/CD, integrating with enterprise identity and governance systems (SSO/SAML/OIDC, SCIM, policy enforcement) and building data-access patterns that are performant, compliant, and trustworthy.
Help shape real-world deployments and launches by working directly with: customers, the Forward Deployed team, and the Go To Market team (GTM) to roll Codex out across teams, using live usage and operational signals to rapidly iterate and turn messy, real-world feedback into scalable product, platform, and ecosystem improvements.
Have strong software engineering fundamentals and experience turning ideas: into productionized systems, thinking holistically about speed, performance, and user experience.
Are proficient in one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, Go, Rust) and: distributed systems concepts, with a focus on reliability, observability, and security.
What they're looking for
- Enjoy building cross-cutting platform capabilities that unlock product: velocity, and you’re comfortable working across services, APIs, end-user product surfaces, and extensibility systems.
- Have experience with team/enterprise foundations such as identity and access: (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, RBAC, audit/compliance logging, policy enforcement, and data governance controls.
- Like working directly with users/customers (or alongside GTM/solutions: teams), and can translate messy, diverse requirements into opinionated implementations that scale across many teams.
- Enjoy 0 -> 1 environments, can navigate ambiguity, and bring crisp product thinking to technical trade-offs.
