Full Job Description

About the Team The ChatGPT organization at OpenAI supports our mission by bringing advanced AI capabilities to hundreds of millions of users worldwide. The Image Generation team is responsible for one of the fastest-growing experiences in ChatGPT, enabling users to create, edit, and transform images through natural language. Recent breakthroughs in multimodal AI have dramatically improved image quality, instruction following, editing precision, consistency, and text rendering. We're building the systems and experiences that turn these research advances into products used daily by creators, professionals, businesses, and consumers around the world. Our team sits at the intersection of research, product, design, and infrastructure. We work closely with model researchers, mobile engineers, frontend engineers, and platform teams to build intuitive experiences and scalable systems that power image generation at global scale. Whether users are creating marketing assets, visualizing ideas, editing photos, designing products, or simply exploring their creativity, our goal is to make visual creation feel as natural as having a conversation. About the Role We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join the Image Generation team and help shape the future of AI-powered visual creation. In this role, you'll own features end-to-end across both frontend and backend systems, building the experiences that enable users to generate, edit, organize, and interact with images inside ChatGPT. You'll work across the entire stack—from highly interactive user interfaces and real-time workflows to backend services, APIs, orchestration systems, and data infrastructure. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy moving fluidly between product development and systems engineering, collaborating closely with design, product, and research teams to rapidly bring new AI capabilities to users. You'll help define entirely new interaction paradigms as multimodal AI continues to evolve. In
