Software Engineer (AI) The Team + The Role Pendo spent a decade helping companies understand how people use their software. Agents are the next surface, and this team builds the product for it: customers install Pendo on their own agentic systems, including MCP servers, agent frameworks, and copilots, and Pendo shows them what those agents are actually doing. The team helps customers understand which tools get called, where calls fail, where a contract confuses the model, and what to fix next. As an AI Software Engineer, you will own features end to end across the service, interface, and the seam between them. You will work across Go services, Vue interfaces, install experiences, instrumentation, telemetry, and LLM-backed product capabilities. You will start with well-shaped problems and take on progressively more ambiguous work as you build context, writing code others can operate and raising issues early when a spec does not match reality. This role is based in our New York City office. What this looks like day-to-day Full-stack feature delivery: Ship full-stack features end to end across Go services and Vue interfaces. You will work across backend and frontend boundaries to build product experiences that are reliable, usable, and ready for production. Customer install and instrumentation: Build the install and instrumentation experience customers drop into their own agentic systems. Your work should be quick to adopt, hard to get wrong, and light enough to run in production. Agent behavior visibility: Capture agent behavior and make it legible for customers. You will help expose tool calls, failures, latency, and the places where a model and a tool contract talk past each other. LLM-backed product development: Work on LLM-backed features including prompt and context design, tool calling, evaluation, and related failure modes. You will use hands-on judgment from building with models to improve how customers debug and understand agent behavior. Safe, incremental sh

About the Team Join the engineering teams that bring OpenAI’s ideas safely to the world! The Applied Engineering team works across research, engineering, product, and design to bring OpenAI’s technology to consumers and businesses. We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth. About the Role We’re seeking Software Engineers who can solve complex, high-impact problems across our stack. In this role, you’ll join a nimble team driving the deployment of OpenAI’s technology into new environments and infrastructure that power critical missions in the public sector. You’ll work cross-functionally with product, security, and compliance teams to build the functionality needed to deliver a scalable, reliable platform. You’ll also partner directly with customers to design and build new products and features that create real-world impact. From launching net-new capabilities to optimizing how we serve inference in unique, high-stakes environments, this role offers both breadth and technical depth—giving you the opportunity to shape the future of OpenAI’s technology where it matters most. This role is based in Washington D.C., San Francisco, CA or Seattle, WA. Occasional travel to customer sites is required for this role. This position requires U.S. person status as defined by the applicable government contract. In this role, you will: Own the development of new customer-facing ChatGPT and OpenAI API features end-to-end, both on-premises and in the cloud, for our public sector customers.

About the Team Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives. About the Role We're looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to help develop the next generation of robotic systems at OpenAI. This role spans the full lifecycle of hardware development, from early concept exploration and prototyping through circuit design, component selection, PCB layout, bring-up, integration, and deployment. Engineers in this role are expected to independently drive significant hardware efforts from initial concept through deployment. You will translate ambiguous goals into concrete engineering plans, make key technical decisions, coordinate closely with cross-functional partners, and own execution through the iterations required to deliver a successful system. Many of the systems we build are still being defined. You will work closely with mechanical, firmware, software, controls, and research teams to evaluate new ideas, develop novel hardware, and integrate it into robotic platforms. Success in this role requires strong engineering judgment, comfort operating in ambiguous spaces, and the ability to balance rapid experimentation with the discipline required to build reliable and scalable systems. The ideal candidate enjoys building things from first principles and is equally comfortable evaluating a new technology, debugging a prototype on the bench, reviewing PCB layout details, and driving system integration efforts. You should be able to move quickly when appropriate, but also know when investing in robustness, simplicity, or infrastructure will create leverage for future development. This role is
