Software Engineer, Codex Enterprise

About this role

Join OpenAI's Codex Enterprise team to build production-grade AI software engineering capabilities for organizations worldwide. You'll design end-to-end systems, enterprise primitives, and ecosystem features that enable teams to deploy and operate Codex reliably at scale, working directly with customers to translate real-world needs into robust platform solutions.

What you'll do

• Identify how teams use AI-powered software engineering and drive product, infrastructure, and ecosystem improvements to increase Codex reliability
• Build core ecosystem and enterprise primitives including plugins, skills, discovery surfaces, RBAC, admin controls, and analytics
• Design secure, observable full-stack systems integrating with enterprise identity systems (SSO/SAML/OIDC, SCIM) across web, IDEs, CLI, and CI/CD
• Lead customer deployments and launches by working with GTM teams and collecting operational signals to iterate rapidly
• Own systems end-to-end from architecture and implementation through production operations
• Build platform capabilities that unlock product velocity across multiple services and extensibility systems

What they're looking for

• Backend development (Python, Go, Rust, or similar)
• Distributed systems and reliability engineering
• Enterprise identity and access management (SAML/OIDC, SCIM, RBAC)
• Security and compliance patterns (audit logging, data governance)
• Full-stack system design and observability
• Cross-functional product thinking and customer collaboration
• API design and platform architecture
