About the role

Our product engineers own end-to-end product experiences for creative workflows—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser by building sophisticated creative tools that span delightful user interfaces, video & graphics rendering, and the integration of large generative AI models. As a small, collaborative team, our product engineers are trusted with a high degree of ownership and agency—directly influencing what we build and how we build it.

Responsibilities

• Ship end-to-end product experiences for creative workflows, owning features from initial concept through production and iteration

• Push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser, building highly polished, performant user experiences for complex, media-rich creation and interaction

• Build full-stack solutions that balance performance, scalability, and extensibility—including APIs, data flows, and services that support real-time and asynchronous workflows

• Understand the capabilities and limitations of modern AI systems and work with the team to integrate them thoughtfully into product surfaces

• Instrument, experiment, and iterate rapidly in production, using data, A/B tests, and user feedback to guide decisions

What makes you a great fit

• 5 years of professional industry experience

• Excellent engineering taste combined with a strong sense of practicality and time-management

• Able to operate effectively in an extremely fast-paced environment as well as scope and deliver projects end-to-end

• Strong full-stack development experience with modern web development technologies (React, TypeScript, Python, Node.js), API frameworks, and cloud platforms

• Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (algorithms and data structures)

Even better if…

• Experience with complex rendering or real-time media processing

• You are grounded, collaborative, and willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win

• You have been a startup founder or an early engineer at one

Benefits:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans

• 401K with employer match

• Commuter Benefits

• Catered lunch multiple days per week

• Dinner stipend every night if you’re working late and want a bite!
