Millions already turn to ChatGPT for career help, but the job market is stuck in static résumés, keyword search, and opaque hiring. We're building something different: a career agent that understands your skills, helps you prove them through certifications, and works nonstop to unlock opportunities , leading to a network where worker and employer agents match on real capabilities, not job boards.

In this role, you will:

• Own major product surfaces end-to-end to build the next-generation AI-powered jobs platform

• Design and ship core systems for matching, candidate verification, skills representation, and workflow automation

• Work with research to turn new model and agent capabilities into production features that help users prove skills, certify expertise, and find great opportunities

• Build high-trust, scalable systems that support millions of job seekers and employers

• Run experiments, talk to users, and iterate quickly to identify what drives successful outcomes, not clicks or resumes

• Work closely with product, design, research, and ops to create human-centered experiences powered by AI

• Optimize for speed, reliability, and security, ensuring a trusted platform for economic mobility

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building highly-available user-facing products

• Experience working across the stack (frontend + backend) and comfort owning features end-to-end

• Passion for marketplaces, matching systems, or search/personalization, even if you haven't built one before

• Interest in AI-driven UX, agents, and workflow automation (direct ML experience not required)

• Enthusiasm for working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where new ideas ship quickly and user impact matters most
