About the Role

Join an early-stage AI video generation startup as one of its first engineers. Working closely with the founders, you will build a self-serve platform that helps companies create video content and marketing campaigns, while contributing to product direction and delivering features for active customers.

What You'll Do

  • Build and ship the web platform across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.

  • Develop product features for creating launch videos, sales videos, and localized marketing campaigns.

  • Help shape the product roadmap while balancing product decisions with hands-on engineering.

  • Integrate LLM-powered agents and creative generation pipelines into a polished user experience.

  • Support customer commitments while prototyping, releasing, and iterating on new features.

What We're Looking For

  • 0 to 3 years of full-stack engineering experience, including experience shipping production web applications.

  • Proficiency with Python and JavaScript, including React.js, Next.js, and Node.js.

  • Experience as a founder, founding engineer, or early employee at an engineering-led startup, or as a founder of a venture-backed company.

  • Familiarity with LLM-powered applications and agent architectures.

  • Strong computer science fundamentals and the ability to explain technical decisions and constructively challenge product direction.

  • Creative or video product experience, or familiarity with reinforcement learning from human feedback or human-in-the-loop systems, is a plus.
