Student Developer Community Lead

PHASE 1: BUILD A BASE OF RELATIONSHIPS, INSIGHTS, AND USE CASES:

• Recruit and run a cohort of high-agency student builders working with Codex and adjacent AI developer tools.
• Facilitate weekly show-and-tell style sessions that surface workflows, friction, and product opportunities.
• Help students debug projects during sprints and support them in building real applications.

PHASE 2: SCALE ON CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT & EVANGELISM:

• Identify where OpenAI should plug into existing student ecosystems such as hackathons, developer clubs, and AI meetups.
• Support student leaders in running build days, hackathons, and workshops using OpenAI tools.
• Develop a repeatable playbook for recruiting and supporting student developer communities.

ONGOING: DEVELOPER CONTENT AND STORYTELLING:

• Collect and amplify great user content with students —such as tutorials, walkthroughs, and code samples—showing how students are building with OpenAI.
• Partner with Developer Social, comms, and Educations teams to surface standout student projects and use cases through blog posts, demos, and social storytelling.
• Observe how students are using AI developer tools (including Codex, the Responses API, and other agentic systems) in real workflows.
