About the role
- The best person for this role moves fluidly between full-stack code, OAuth/OIDC and identity systems, product judgment, project leadership, and clear communication with engineers and executives.
- This role is based in our San Francisco office.
- We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
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.
- Have 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.
- Can work comfortably with external engineers, product leaders, and executives, and translate partner feedback into crisp technical plans and product improvements.
- Balance urgency with judgment and can keep complex partner launches moving while staying precise about the details that matter.
- 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.
- 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.
Requirements
- Have a strong understanding of how plugins and connectors work with coding agents, integrating MCP servers, using CLIs and APIs to access external tools.
Nice to have
- 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.
- 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.
- We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products.
