About the Team

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise team sits within the B2B Applications organization and is responsible for making ChatGPT work for businesses at scale. Our goal is to deliver a seamless experience where people can use the same product at home and at work while meeting enterprise-specific requirements—security and admin controls, regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA/FINRA), and data/compute residency across geographies. The team’s roadmap spans three core workstreams: enterprise controls, user value & activation, and company-specific products (e.g., Company Knowledge).

About the Role

We’re hiring backend engineers to build product experiences that turn ChatGPT into an indispensable tool for teams—while ensuring trust, controls, and performance enterprises require. This role focuses especially on the enterprise controls track: designing collaboration experiences, onboarding and engagement loops, and product affordances that help employees discover and adopt advanced capabilities (including agents and custom GPT-style workflows). In this role, you will:

• Build backend systems powering enterprise controls including permissions, policy enforcement, auditability, and compliance workflows.
• Design residency- and region-aware architectures enabling enterprise workloads to meet country- and customer-specific requirements.
• Partner with product, security, legal/compliance, and adjacent engineering teams to turn enterprise requirements into scalable technical systems.
• Improve reliability, observability, and operational maturity of services underpinning ChatGPT Enterprise.

Background Requirements / Your Background Might Look Something Like:

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience (excluding internships) in relevant roles at tech/product-driven companies.
• Former founder or early engineer at a startup who has built a product from scratch is a plus.
• Proficiency in one or more backend languages such as Python, Go, Rust, Typescript or similar.
• Experience designing/operating distributed systems emphasizing reliability, performance, security.
• Experience building systems involving access controls, identity, compliance, privacy, data governance or other enterprise platform concerns.
• Some experience with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL.
• Care deeply about reliability, safety, performance in production environments.
• Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required).
• Proven ability to thrive in fast-growing product-driven companies by navigating loosely defined tasks and managing competing priorities/deadlines.
