Product Designer, Accessibility

About the Team

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Design Systems team creates the foundations that help teams across OpenAI build coherent, high-quality experiences at scale.

Accessibility is fundamental to that work. We’re building the shared standards, components, tools, and practices that make inclusive experiences the default across OpenAI’s products and platforms.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have led accessibility or inclusive-design work across multiple teams, products, or platforms.
• Pair deep accessibility expertise with strong interaction design, systems thinking, and a high bar for product craft.
• Understand the relationship between accessibility, usability, and inclusive design—and know when to go beyond standards to meet real human needs.
• Have deep practical knowledge of WCAG, assistive technologies, accessible interaction design, and platform-specific standards.
• Have embedded accessibility into design systems, reusable components, and engineering workflows.
• Have worked directly with disabled people and translated their experiences into meaningful product and organizational decisions.
• Can identify assumptions and exclusion within a product journey, then turn those insights into clearer and more flexible ways to interact.
• Are equally effective setting strategy, designing detailed experiences, and collaborating with engineers through implementation.
• Can influence across disciplines without direct authority, creating shared accountability without becoming a centralized approval gate.
