Full Job Description
About the Role

We are looking for unusually strong engineers who can ship broadly across the stack and also bring specialized knowledge/experience in at least one high-value area.

We want builders who can contribute to product features, backend systems, internal tools, debugging, and AI workflows, while also being especially strong in something like computer vision, ML, frontend, media processing, or high-throughput systems.

Responsibilities
  • AI image editing systems
  • Backend services and product features
  • Training and inference pipelines
  • Model-serving and media-processing workflows
  • Optimize computer vision and other algorithms for accuracy and speed
  • Improve development systems, internal tools/automations, and squash bugs
  • Impliment/improve full-stack features for:
    • User-facing AI image editing tools
    • New property manipulation tools (virtual staging, re-lighting, grass-greening, etc)
    • Our photo editing model style marketplace
    • Automated video editing through user-created workflows


Qualifications

  • You are a high-agency builder who likes ownership
  • You can operate across frontend, backend, and product work
  • You have demonstrated exceptional ability in somemeaningful way
  • You may be a founder, CTO, founding engineer, first engineer, or someone who owned a core product or platform
  • You may have a specialty in computer vision, ML, AI, frontend, distributed systems, media infrastructure, or mobile


Required Skills
  • Important: We do want specialists, but not strict specialists who only look useful inside a narrow research or data science lane.
  • If your best work is only inside the model layer and there's no evidence you can contribute broadly to product and engineering, this is probably not the right fit


Strong backgrounds we're looking for:
  • Founder / co-founder / CTO / founding engineer experience
  • Zero-to-one product building
  • Extraordinary ownership over a core feature or system
  • Hard technical environments
  • Real shipped products with real users
  • Exceptional open-source, research, or competitive ability when it clearly reflects real technical horsepower


If that sounds like you, apply.

Location:
  • Downtown Austin, TX
    • Open to making exception for exceptional engineers, working remotely in SF

Compensation:
  • $180,000 - $280,000 and up base salary + equity and bonuses
  • Final salary will be based on a number of factors including, level, relevant prior experience, skills, and expertise. This range is only inclusive of base salary, not bonuses.
