About the Team

The ChatGPT Library team is building the place where people can save, organize, rediscover, and build on the content they create with ChatGPT. Our goal is to make ChatGPT more useful over time by helping users seamlessly return to important files, images, conversations, and other content across their devices.

 

The team works at the intersection of product engineering, design, and AI research to create intuitive, personalized experiences that make users’ content easy to find and act on. On Android, we are focused on delivering fast, reliable, and deeply native experiences that put a user’s evolving body of work at their fingertips.

 

About the Role

We are looking for a senior Android engineer to help build the future of ChatGPT Library on mobile. You will own high-impact product experiences across the Android stack, shaping how millions of people save, organize, discover, and interact with their content in ChatGPT.

 

In this role, you will:

  • Build and ship new Android experiences that help users easily access, organize, and build on the content they create with ChatGPT.

  • Own features end to end—from early product exploration and technical design through implementation, experimentation, launch, and iteration.

  • Develop scalable, maintainable foundations that allow Libraries experiences to evolve quickly as new AI capabilities emerge.

  • Improve the architecture, performance, reliability, and responsiveness of content-rich experiences across a wide range of Android devices.

  • Thoughtfully integrate Android platform capabilities to create experiences that feel intuitive and native to mobile.

  • Partner closely with product, design, research, data science, and engineering teams to translate emerging AI capabilities into useful, polished products.

  • Help establish technical direction and raise the quality bar for Android development across the team.

 

How We Work

We care deeply about building products that are intuitive, useful, and trustworthy. We move quickly from ideas to working experiences, learn from how people use the product, and continuously refine what we build. Engineers are involved throughout the product-development process and have meaningful ownership over both technical decisions and the user experience.

 

The Libraries team operates in a fast-moving and highly collaborative environment. We value strong judgment, thoughtful experimentation, technical excellence, and a willingness to navigate ambiguity as we define an entirely new category of AI-powered personal computing.

 

You Might Thrive in This Role If You:

  • Have a strong track record of building and shipping high-quality Android products used at scale.

  • Bring deep expertise in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, the Android SDK, and modern Android architecture and development practices.

  • Care deeply about product quality, including performance, reliability, accessibility, responsiveness, and visual polish.

  • Enjoy owning complex product experiences across the full Android stack.

  • Have strong product instincts and are energized by turning ambiguous ideas into simple, intuitive user experiences.

  • Design scalable and maintainable systems that enable other engineers to move faster.

  • Work effectively across engineering, product, design, research, and data science.

  • Are excited to build zero-to-one experiences and adapt quickly as AI capabilities and user expectations evolve.

 

If you’re excited about shaping how people organize, rediscover, and build on everything they create with ChatGPT, we’d love to hear from you.

  3. What are the limits of Kotlin that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
  4. Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
  5. If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?

Adapt your resume
