About the job
About the Team
At OpenAI, we are pioneering the future of software engineering with Codex, an advanced AI-powered software engineer designed to assist, delegate tasks, and proactively manage future challenges. Our dynamic team blends research, engineering, design, and product expertise to enhance the Codex agent harness and product, ensuring it excels in complex software engineering tasks.
The Codex team is dedicated to creating cutting-edge AI systems capable of writing code, reasoning about software, and serving as intelligent assistants for both developers and non-developers. We oversee the complete lifecycle of experimentation, deployment, and refinement of innovative coding capabilities across research, engineering, product, and infrastructure.
Codex Cloud is focused on developing cloud-first software engineering products and the essential platform capabilities that enable agentic experiences across OpenAI. This cross-functional team collaborates across the stack to deliver both exceptional product experiences and foundational platform capabilities.
About the Role
As a member of Codex Cloud, you will take ownership of cloud-based agentic experiences, such as code reviews and cloud tasks, alongside the essential runtime/orchestration layer for these tasks. This infrastructure transforms Codex from a code generator into a scalable AI software engineer. It provides secure, sandboxed environments where Codex can execute commands, manage files, run tests, and progressively enhance its output across real codebases—just like a human developer. Furthermore, Codex Runtime serves as the distributed systems foundation that enables numerous supervised AI agents to operate within OpenAI's and clients' data centers, addressing increasingly complex objectives over extended periods. By providing agents with a tangible working context and dependable execution environment, Codex Runtime empowers Codex to validate its modifications, debug errors, and produce production-ready results, defining how AI agents interact safely and reliably with the world's software.
Your Responsibilities:
Influence the evolution of Codex by analyzing actual user interactions with AI-powered software engineering, driving enhancements across product, infrastructure, and model behavior to establish Codex as a trusted collaborator for organizations.
Craft comprehensive customer-facing software engineering experiences for both consumer and enterprise segments, automating and elevating the software development lifecycle.
