About the Team:
OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Our API is the industry's most widely adopted AI platform, empowering startups, indie developers, and Fortune companies alike. Through multimodal APIs—spanning real-time interactions, text-to-speech (TTS), speech generation, and image generation—we enable users to harness the full potential of diverse AI modalities effectively and at scale.
About the Role:
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our multimodal API product suite. Your team will be responsible for delivering innovative APIs across real-time processing, speech transcription, speech generation, and image creation.

In this role, you will:
Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team focused on multimodal API products – including our realtime API, our transcription models (Whisper), our speech generation models (TTS), and our image generation APIs (DALLE and native 4o).
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to define the strategic vision and product roadmap.
Work closely with our research teams to improve our core multimodal models for API customer use cases.
Guide technical and architectural decisions, emphasizing scalability, robustness, and user experience.
Foster a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and accountability within your team.
Qualifications:
Proven experience managing engineering teams that deliver complex, high-quality products at scale.
Strong technical background and proficiency in modern software engineering practices and system architecture.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to effectively coordinate across diverse teams and stakeholders.
Familiarity with or strong interest in multimodal AI, including speech technologies, real-time systems, and image generation.
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience developing multimodal systems or APIs in AI/ML domains, especially around image generation, audio generation, or speech transcription.
