About The Team The Codex team is building AI systems that can write code, reason about software, and act as autonomous collaborators for engineers. Our goal is to transform how software is built—moving from tools that assist developers to agents that can take on meaningful chunks of work independently.
Strategic Initiatives sits at the intersection of research, engineering, product, and go-to-market. We focus on high-leverage, ambiguous problems that accelerate Codex adoption, shape the product, and unlock new use cases.
About The Role We’re hiring technical generalists to work on 0→1 and 1→n initiatives for Codex. In this role you’ll identify important problems, prototype solutions quickly, and drive them through to real-world impact.
You might build new agent workflows, partner with leading companies to deploy Codex in production, or design entirely new product surfaces. The common thread: you operate where the path isn’t obvious yet.
This is a high-autonomy, high-context role for people who like to figure things out from first principles and ship quickly.
