Software Engineer, Marketing Innovation

About the team
Marketing Innovation is a product engineering team embedded within OpenAI's broader Demand Gen and Marketing organization. The team builds agentic, AInative systems that directly drive revenue, pipeline, and marketing leverage.

Our mandate is to own and scale autonomous, customerfacing and internal systems that operate at massive scale. This includes building autonomous, customerfacing systems that engage with prospects, generate pipeline and revenue, and shape the future of how marketing and revenue teams operate in an AInative world.

We focus on problems that exceed the limits of lowcode tools and longtail workflow automation. When a problem requires a native product experience, deep system integration, and high standards for precision, safety, and reliability, Marketing Innovation steps in.

About the role
We're looking for productminded software engineers to join the Marketing Innovation team.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will build and own autonomous, customerfacing agentic systems that interface directly with enterprise customers, prospects, and revenuecritical workflows. You will partner closely with functional leaders across scaled revenue, demand gen, and marketing to understand desired outcomes, then translate those needs into productiongrade systems.

You will move quickly from ambiguous problem statements to working software in production. Your work will be measured not by output, but by impact: revenue, enterprise pipeline, and Marketing efficiency.

This role is ideal for engineers who want ownership over real systems, enjoy building 0->1 products, and are excited to define new categories of AInative products and workflows.

In this role, you will:

• Build autonomous and semiautonomous customerfacing and internal agentic systems that directly drive Revenue, Pipeline, and Marketing efficiency.

• Own endtoend product execution, from early prototypes to reliable production systems with strong instrumentation and evals.

• Work across the full stack, including APIs, orchestration, data flows, frontend experiences, and deployment.

• Partner closely with marketing, demand gen, and enterprise sales stakeholders to define success metrics and functional requirements.

• Apply OpenAI models and tooling in novel ways, making informed tradeoffs between models, platforms, and architectures.

• Continuously iterate based on live usage, agent behavior, and performance data.

You'll thrive in this role if you

• Have 4+ years of experience as a software, product, or ML engineer working on user or customerfacing systems.

• Have built, deployed, or operated complex systems in production, ideally including agents or automation at scale.

• Are comfortable working without a groomed backlog and enjoy framing problems, proposing solutions, and executing endtoend.

• Are fluent in Python or JavaScript and comfortable building fullstack applications.

• Have handson experience with APIs, cloud infrastructure, orchestration, and production monitoring.

• Are curious about modern AI models and excited to experiment with how evolving capabilities change system design.

• Have familiarity with sales, marketing, or gotomarket workflows, or are eager to learn how revenue systems operate.

• Operate with a strong sense of ownership, move quickly, and care deeply about measurable business outcomes.

• Are collaborative, pragmatic, and motivated to build at the frontier of applied AI.
