Full Job Description
We're hiring AI engineers to build the systems that make Create intelligent. Often that involves staring down ambiguous research problems. And shipping clever ways of solving them.

Sample projects include:

  • Prompt engineering, fine tuning, and/or training models for codegen to better match user intent
  • Creating retrieval models to augment code understanding or design quality
  • Inventing techniques for Create's AI agent to autonomously solve compile or run time errors
  • Designing new agent flows to dramatically increase reliability


Your background looks something like:

  • 4+ years of production experience with Typescript as a full stack engineer or applied researcher
    • If you've personally built something people use, YOE is irrelevant
  • You've built a product people love on your own or on a team
  • Deep curiosity about the latest AI research and applications and a knack for turning them into reality
  • Strong prompt intuition and ability to debug AI behavior like a system
  • Don't comprise between going deep and shipping fast.
  • Excited to work in person with the team 5 days / week in San Francisco
  • You've used Create and have strong opinions on what to build next


We pay extra attention if you have:

  • Prior experience as a founder or founding eng
  • Strong product, design, or AI taste
  • Strong production experience with LLMs
  • Familiarity with AI dev tools
