 About The Role
 
 
 
 We&rsquo;re looking for exceptional engineers to help build one of the most transformative applications of AI: using ChatGPT to expand economic opportunity at scale. This is a unique chance to work at the intersection of agents, search/matching, personalization, UX, and real-world economic impact and building AI products that
 
 directly change people&rsquo;s lives
 
 .
 
 
 Millions already turn to ChatGPT for career help, but the job market is stuck in static r&eacute;sum&eacute;s, keyword search, and opaque hiring. We&rsquo;re building something different: a career agent that understands your skills, helps you prove them through certifications, and works nonstop to unlock opportunities &mdash; leading to a network where worker and employer agents match on real capabilities, not job boards.
 
 
 
 In This Role, You Will
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Own major product surfaces end-to-end to build the next-generation AI-powered jobs platform
 </li>
 <li>
 Design and ship core systems for matching, candidate verification, skills representation, and workflow automation
 </li>
 <li>
 Work with research to turn new model and agent capabilities into production features that help users prove skills, certify expertise, and find great opportunities
 </li>
 <li>
 Build high-trust, scalable systems that support millions of job seekers and employers
 </li>
 <li>
 Run experiments, talk to users, and iterate quickly to identify what drives successful outcomes, not clicks or resumes
 </li>
 <li>
 Work closely with product, design, research, and ops to create human-centered experiences powered by AI
 </li>
 <li>
 Optimize for speed, reliability, and security, ensuring a trusted platform for economic mobility
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 You May Be a Good Fit If You Have
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 5+ years of software engineering experience building highly-available user-facing products
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience working across the stack (frontend + backend) and comfort owning features end-to-end
 </li>
 <li>
 Passion for marketplaces, matching systems, or search/personalization, even if you haven't built one before
 </li>
 <li>
 Interest in AI-driven UX, agents, and workflow automation (direct ML experience not required)
 </li>
 <li>
 Enthusiasm for working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where new ideas ship quickly and user impact matters most
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
