OpenAI is hiring a software engineer for the Codex Web Layer team, which builds the web-based systems behind the Codex desktop client, including its in-app browser. The work runs from OS integration to interaction design, with a focus on backend C++ and Chromium, plus some TypeScript, Python and API design. The posting asks for strong C++ experience, ideally in browser environments such as Chromium or Electron, and comfort with end-to-end ownership in ambiguous settings. It is based in San Francisco on a hybrid schedule.
