About the Team

OpenAI’s Consumer Verticals team builds experiences that make ChatGPT more useful in the areas that matter to people every day. Within Travel, we’re exploring how AI can help people discover destinations, compare options, and plan trips around their preferences and needs.

Travel planning brings together inspiration, personal preferences, and practical constraints—from budgets and schedules to changing prices and availability. We aim to make that complexity easier to navigate, combining advanced AI capabilities, relevant travel information, and thoughtful product design to help people move from an idea to a trip with greater confidence.

We work closely with product, design, research, safety, privacy, and other ChatGPT teams to turn emerging AI capabilities into useful consumer experiences, with a high bar for quality, reliability, and user trust.

About the Role

We’re looking for a product-minded full stack software engineer to help shape the next generation of travel experiences in ChatGPT.

You will own features end-to-end, from early exploration and prototypes through launch and iteration. Your work will span intuitive interfaces, backend services, and integrations that connect conversational experiences with travel information and services.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy shaping new product areas, making complex information intuitive, and moving quickly from idea to production. Prior experience in AI or travel is not required.

In this role you will

Build consumer travel experiences across ChatGPT’s web and mobile surfaces, with ownership spanning frontend interfaces, backend services, and external integrations.

Translate travelers’ preferences and constraints into useful experiences for discovering destinations, comparing stays and transportation, and planning itineraries.

Build integrations with travel data and services

Partner with product, design, and research to turn AI capabilities into intuitive, personalized products and shape what to build next.

Design reliable experiences that handle incomplete information, and service failures while giving users clear choices and control.

Improve quality, performance, and usability through experimentation and user feedback, with privacy, safety, and user trust built into the product.

You might thrive in this role if you

Have 10+ years of software engineering experience, with depth in full-stack development.

Have shipped consumer products at scale and can own features across interfaces, APIs, services, and data flows.

Bring strong product judgment and a high bar for craft, especially when making complex choices easy to understand.

Enjoy shaping product direction and owning ambiguous problems from idea to production.

Move quickly while making thoughtful tradeoffs around quality, reliability, and user trust.

Are excited to apply AI to travel and help people turn their preferences and plans into useful next steps.

Bonus if you have

Experience with AI-powered applications, conversational interfaces, or multimodal products.

Experience building travel, marketplace, commerce including integrations with external providers.

Experience with personalization, search and discovery, or systems that depend on frequently changing data.

Experience with privacy-sensitive products, secure data flows, permissions, or user consent.
