The Social Products team explores how to redesign familiar social products using the intelligence of our models to solve their problems. We envision going back to a world where social media is a positive force. We are looking for an engineer to focus on building new iOS experiences that reimagine how people connect, create, and share using OpenAI’s technology. You’ll help define the foundation of social interaction across our products — blending thoughtful design, modern iOS development and AI capabilities. We’re looking for engineers who thrive in small, nimble teams, bring creative product ideas to the table, and pair strong execution with sharp judgment. You should be comfortable operating with ambiguity, learning from experiments, and using those insights to refine both product direction and technical implementation.
Job Responsibility:
Build and ship new iOS experiences that showcase how AI can power authentic connection, creativity, and communication
Drive end-to-end development of social features — from prototyping and iteration to global-scale launch — using Swift and modern iOS frameworks
Collaborate closely with product, design, research, and backend teams to deliver intuitive, high-impact mobile experiences
Optimize app performance, reliability, and responsiveness, ensuring seamless experiences for users worldwide
Establish robust testing frameworks, refine app architecture, and ensure long-term maintainability and scalability
Provide technical leadership and contribute to the direction of OpenAI’s broader iOS platform and engineering best practices
Requirements:
3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on building and scaling iOS applications
Have shipped high-quality, user-facing apps that balance delightful design with reliability, performance, and resilience
Have owned complex mobile systems end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to monitoring and iteration
Are fluent in Swift and deeply familiar with the Apple ecosystem, including Xcode, UIKit, and SwiftUI
Have made thoughtful architectural tradeoffs in pursuit of speed, maintainability, and product impact
Care deeply about creating seamless, performant, and secure mobile experiences that feel intuitive and human
Enjoy collaborating across design, research, and backend teams to bring ambitious, socially-driven product ideas to life
