OpenAI
About this role
OpenAI's Codex Deployment Engineering team helps customers adopt its coding tools across their software development lifecycle, and this is the India seat. The posting wants someone who is already a power user of AI coding tools, and the work has an unusual loop: you often use Codex itself to prototype and build the demos, integrations and automations that customers go on to adopt. You partner directly with engineering leaders and hands on builders to design, validate and scale AI workflows, and you act as the primary technical expert on Codex for a portfolio of customers, embedding with them. The posting is candid that it is cross functional, working with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product and Applied Engineering. Note that OpenAI's board flags this role as remote while the posting body states it is based in Bangalore.
Who this is for
Requirements as published:
- 8+ years of post sales engineering or solutions architecture experience, working directly with customers.
- 2+ years of software engineering experience and a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle.
- Existing power user of AI coding tools, stated as a genuine expectation rather than a preference.
The actual day to day:
- Serving as the primary technical subject matter expert on OpenAI Codex for a portfolio of customers, embedding deeply to enable their engineering teams.
- Partnering with engineering leaders and hands on builders to design, validate and scale advanced AI workflows.
- Using Codex to prototype and build the demos, integrations and automations customers ultimately adopt.
- Working across Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product, Applied Engineering and the wider Codex organisation to advocate for customer needs and shape product direction.
Location and office reality:
- ⚠️ OpenAI's job board marks this posting as remote and lists it under Delhi, India. The posting body states directly: This role is based in Bangalore. We have published Bangalore because the body is the more specific statement. Confirm before making plans.
- OpenAI's other India postings state a hybrid model of three days a week in the office, so expect something similar here and ask.
Honest fit guidance:
- This is a customer facing role and the posting says so throughout. It is not a Codex engineering seat.
- The 8 year requirement is for post sales or solutions architecture experience specifically, and the software engineering requirement is only 2 years. That combination is unusual, and it means deep customer facing history matters more here than deep coding history.
- We kept this role and dropped OpenAI's Solutions Engineer posting from the same board, because that one is pre sales throughout while this one is technical deployment work with no quota language.
