Job description

Mirage is an AI-native video platform that intelligently orchestrates production and editing through natural language. Our models leverage contextual awareness to execute the same creative decisions a professional editor would — dramatically improving productivity for experienced teams, while making video creation accessible to anyone.
We’re an interdisciplinary team addressing some of the most difficult technical and creative challenges in generative media. As an early member of our team, you’ll tackle foundational problems that remain largely unsolved across the industry, driving an outsized impact on the future of creative expression.

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

• 2+ 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
