Developer Education Lead

About the Role

The Developer Education Lead will be part of the Developer Experience team, which is dedicated to making it effortless for builders to work with Openai's products. The team collaborates closely with product, engineering, research, GTM, communications, and community teams to create inspiring demos, sample applications, technical content, learning experiences, and developer programs.

As the AI landscape is rapidly evolving, the Developer Education Lead will need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and adjust the education strategy accordingly. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, pedagogical skills, and collaboration abilities.

What You Will Do

• Own the education strategy for Openai's product ecosystem, ensuring learning experiences connect across Codex, ChatGPT, APIs, frontier models, and future launches.
• Build and manage an education roadmap that prioritizes what gets taught, for whom, when, and through which formats across launches and evergreen learning.
• Create scalable educational programs, demos, curricula, workshops, launch materials, and interactive experiences that help audiences understand frontier AI capabilities.
• Design learning journeys for broad audiences, including developers, product teams, business leaders, creators, researchers, students, educators, startups, and enterprise customers.
• Partner with product, research, engineering, go-to-market, communications, and community teams to ensure major launches ship with clear educational framing, practical examples, and paths from first exposure to successful adoption.
• Experiment with new formats for education, including in-product learning, interactive web experiences, hands-on labs, video, live teaching, community programs, and AI-native tutorials.
• Use Openai's own products as teaching surfaces, creating examples where people learn by building, exploring, prompting, coding, analyzing, or automating real workflows.
• Establish feedback loops, content audits, and quality bars so learning materials stay current as models, APIs, product surfaces, and deprecations evolve.
• Define and track success metrics that reflect real understanding, activation, adoption, and durable AI fluency rather than only reach or impressions.

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in developer education, product education, developer relations, technical content strategy, product marketing, instructional design, or a related field.
• Experience owning education, developer experience, or content strategy roadmaps end to end, including how work is prioritized, shipped, maintained, and measured.
• A track record of creating innovative, effective learning experiences that drive engagement and adoption.
• Strong technical skills, including proficiency in programming languages, AI technologies, and software development methodologies.
