About the role
Responsibilities
Own the technical partner journey for priority agent enablement integrations—from use-case selection and readiness assessment through architecture, prototype, implementation, evaluation, launch, rollout, and ongoing maintenance.
Help partners choose and implement the right integration path across browser sign-in, connector-initiated OAuth, and agentic account linking or provisioning, with clear user journeys and safe fallback behavior.
Write production and sample code, build reference implementations and test harnesses, and create the technical guidance, integration checklists, evaluations, and debugging tools that move partners from concept to production.
Debug identity and agent workflows end to end: user interface state, browser redirects, PKCE/OIDC transactions, token exchange and validation, account mapping, connector callbacks, CLI or MCP handoffs, latency, retries, rate limits, logs, traces, and metrics.
Review partner architectures and implementation plans for API contracts, scopes and permissions, consent, terms acceptance, and account policy, secret handling, data boundaries, privacy, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Run hands-on evaluations, dogfood, launch-readiness reviews, staged rollouts, and post-launch investigations; turn findings into concrete fixes rather than one-off workarounds.
Contribute targeted improvements to ChatGPT, Codex, and the Agent Enablement platform, including identity protocols, APIs, SDKs, docs, examples, internal tooling, partner-debugging workflows, launch guardrails, and user-facing consent or control experiences.
Work closely with product, engineering, design, partnerships, legal, policy, security, support, and go-to-market teams to make partner launches smooth, safe, and repeatable.
Bring structured signals from partners back to product and engineering, and turn recurring integration patterns into platform requirements, reference architectures, playbooks, and developer guidance.
Requirements
4–6 years of professional software engineering or AI engineering experience and are strong enough technically to contribute to the platform itself while still enjoying hands-on coding.
Operated in a customer or partner facing roles in scoping projects, building MVPs, presenting trade-offs in solution design and architecture, understanding user value drivers as well as scoping and executing on tight implementation plans.
Built and operated production full-stack products, APIs, backend services, developer platforms, connectors, or integrations, and can reason across frontend, backend, auth, data models, reliability, privacy, and UX constraints.
Strong understanding of how plugins and connectors work with coding agents, integrating MCP servers, using CLIs and APIs to access external tools.
Can work comfortably with external engineers, product leaders, and executives, and translate partner feedback into crisp technical plans and product improvements.
Comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions, and can turn high-level ideas into runnable prototypes, API contracts, technical specs.
Balance urgency with judgment and can keep complex partner launches moving while staying precise about the details that matter.
Nice-to-Haves
High-level understanding of the identity stack, including how OAuth works.
Experience designing or operating APIs, webhooks, schemas, SDKs, CLIs, MCP servers, tool-calling systems, or other developer-facing integrations.
Prior customer-facing or partner-facing engineering experience, including leading technical calls, navigating ambiguity, and helping external teams ship production software.
Strong familiarity with AI products, LLM APIs, ChatGPT or Codex surfaces, coding harnesses, developer platforms, agent workflows, or ecosystem products.
Experience with evaluations, staged rollouts, observability, incident response, launch operations, and turning production learnings into durable platform improvements.
Hands-on, partner-facing engineer building and deepening ChatGPT integrations with third-party messaging platforms. Design experiences, improve UX/retention/reliability, debug issues, translate requirements, and drive launches while writing code daily and collaborating across teams and cultures.
