The opportunity
Life sciences is one of the clearest areas where advances in intelligence can meaningfully benefit the world at large. The OpenAI Life Sciences team works at the intersection of advancing frontier life sciences model capabilities and building products to help scientists…
What you'll do
Design backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect users with: models, scientific tools, and laboratory services.
Create intuitive interfaces that help scientists navigate complex workflows.
Own projects from problem definition and technical design through launch, operation, and iteration.
Work with scientific and research partners to identify user needs and: prioritize valuable product improvements.
Partner with dedicated infrastructure engineers on performance, reliability, and scaling.
Make thoughtful engineering decisions that balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
What they're looking for
- Have strong software engineering fundamentals and depth in backend: development, alongside the ability to build across the stack.
- Have shipped and operated products used by large user bases.
- Bring strong product sense and can translate ambiguous needs into useful software.
- Work autonomously, make sound technical decisions, and drive projects forward with limited direction.
