Product Designer, Youth

About the Team

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Youth team is focused on making AI safe, useful, and empowering for young people.

Our work spans foundational protections—including age assurance and always-on safety—as well as new learning and education experiences. We’re also exploring how OpenAI’s technology can support K–12 schools, educators, classrooms, and collaborative learning.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Bring exceptional interaction and visual design craft and are motivated to raise the quality of design across OpenAI.
• Are a highly generative designer who explores broadly, iterates deeply, and turns ideas into concrete, polished product direction.
• Pair strong craft with deep product and systems thinking.
• Have led substantial, ambiguous, or zero-to-one product areas and can help shape both vision and execution.
• Can design thoughtful experiences for sensitive, high-trust, or safety-critical contexts.
• Understand how to create products that are engaging and intuitive without compromising safety or clarity.
• Can navigate the needs of multiple audiences, including young people, educators, administrators, and institutional partners.
• Communicate clearly, build alignment across disciplines, and remain hands-on throughout the product-development process.
• Are energized by the opportunity to define how AI can support learning while serving young people responsibly.
