Software Engineer, Web LayerActive$255K–$405K

The opportunity

The Codex Web Layer team provides the web-based systems and user experiences for Codex across the entire stack, from the Electron-like application framework that powers the application, to the user-facing in-app browser.

What you'll do

  • Partner closely with product and design to conceive, design, and build: features for Codex web browsing features on macOS and Windows. This role will focus mostly on the backend C++ layer and Chromium, but many features cross the full stack including some TypeScript.

  • Partner with the wider Codex team to deliver a high-performance, stable, and: secure application platform for client development. This includes API design and implementation (mostly in C++) and the infrastructure that supports deploying it (in Python, TypeScript, and agentic skills).

  • Work with a small, experienced team of engineers on this critical and rapidly growing product.

  • Have significant experience building technically complex features end-to-end.

  • Are a strong C++ developer, especially with experience in browser: environments like Chromium and Electron. Since this role is more backend focused, general knowledge of web development and TypeScript is helpful but not required.

  • Thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

What they're looking for

  • Communicate clearly and concisely across many different roles in the organization.
  • Are self-directed, identifying important work and executing it end-to-end.
