The Monetization team is a new cross-functional group working across engineering, product, research, and design to build the foundational systems that will help OpenAI scale access to intelligence responsibly. Our mission is to develop user-first, privacy-preserving monetization products—including next-generation ads experiences—that strengthen user trust, unlock economic opportunity, and support OpenAI’s long-term innovation.
Monetization plays a critical role in enabling OpenAI to continue pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities while ensuring the benefits of AGI are broadly shared. We believe monetization must be aligned with user value, uphold rigorous privacy and safety standards, and sustain a healthy ecosystem of developers and businesses.
This team operates in a greenfield environment and moves quickly through prototyping, experimentation, and iterative deployment. We partner closely with Product, Design, and Research to bring research breakthroughs into real-world systems at global scale.
We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer to help build the core monetization and ads systems at OpenAI. This is a foundational role responsible for designing and implementing the infrastructure, APIs, and user-facing experiences that will power OpenAI’s next-generation monetization products—including ads.
You’ll work across the full technical stack to architect, build, and ship 0→1 systems that are robust, safe, and scalable. You will collaborate deeply with Product, Design, and Research to define the future of monetized AI experiences and ensure these systems meet OpenAI’s highest standards for safety, privacy, and policy alignment.
This role is exclusively based across our San Francisco and Seattle sites. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
Design, build, and scale the core infrastructure behind OpenAI’s monetization and ads products
Develop advertiser-facing APIs and tools that enable the creation, management, and measurement of ads
Build integrations with external partners and help create enterprise-grade monetization products
Architect distributed systems and services that operate at massive scale with strong reliability, usability, privacy, and performance guarantees
Work closely with Product, Research, and Design to translate product requirements into high-quality technical solutions
Drive 0→1 product development through rapid prototyping, experimentation, and iterative deployment
Contribute to technical strategy, propose new directions, and help shape the roadmap for monetization and ads platforms
Maintain high engineering rigor through strong testing, documentation, and operational best practices
Uphold the highest levels of safety, privacy, fairness, and policy compliance across all monetization systems
Help continuously refine engineering processes, culture, and best practices within a fast-moving, multidisciplinary team
Have 7+ years of experience building high-scale consumer, enterprise, or ads-related systems
Have a track record of architecting and delivering complex distributed systems with high reliability and performance requirements
Are comfortable navigating ambiguous product spaces and contributing to technical roadmaps and long-term direction
Bring strong product intuition and enjoy collaborating deeply with Product, Design, and Research
Thrive in 0→1 environments where systems, architecture, and user experiences must be defined from scratch
Communicate clearly, think holistically, and make decisions rooted in both user needs and long-term sustainability
Are motivated by building privacy-preserving, safe, and user-first monetization systems
Bonus: Have experience in ads systems, marketplaces, or other monetization-heavy domains
