Responsibilities
We are seeking a Generalist Software Engineer to join the founding team of a fast-moving AI video infrastructure startup.
The company's first product turns prompts and documents into whiteboard-style explainer videos in seconds, with a broader mission of making video generation fast, cheap, and programmable enough for AI to use anywhere it currently uses text.
As a founding team member, you'll move fluidly across frontend, backend, and product surfaces, tackling whatever the product needs most at any given time.
Ship features across the full stack, from backend logic to user-facing UI
Build and maintain APIs for core workflows like projects, jobs, and billing
Design frontend experiences that are fast, clear, and trustworthy
