Product Designer

About the Role

As a product designer on Codex, you’ll collaborate closely with a small team of product designers and cross-functional partners to shape the future of coding. You’ll partner closely with world-class engineers and researchers to bring cutting-edge capabilities into the hands of developers. Much of the work is 0–1, requiring you to balance a high-bar for craft, fast iteration, and strong product intuition. You’ll work on the end-to-end design of new features and improvements across a range of Codex products. You’ll help chart our course into the future as we evolve our technology, product, and design paradigms.

In this role, you will:

• Contribute to the overall design and product direction of OpenAI products.
• Design and ship high-quality products and improvements, from early concepts to high-fidelity prototypes and visuals.
• Partner closely with engineering, product management, research, and design peers to define both long-term strategy and short-term tactics.
• Engage in user research to better understand our users (software developers) and refine our products.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system.
• Help establish our design culture and grow our team.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Bring a strong technical background and have recently shipped code to production.
• Are deeply motivated by making coding agents intuitive and accessible, and expanding access to who can build software.
• Have a portfolio showcasing strong UX, UI, and interaction design skills, with a high bar for quality and craft.
• Enjoy 0 –> 1 environments, can navigate ambiguity, and bring crisp design thinking to technical trade-offs.
• Get excited about being immersed in the AI research process and defining how AI-first products should look and behave.
• Possess impactful communication and storytelling skills.

Bonus if you have:

• Prior experience with research or developer-focused products or workflows.
• Have shipped side projects with AI or contributed to open-source AI tools.
