## About the role

We're looking for a Founding Engineer to help build the core product and infrastructure behind Aspect, the single platform replacing the five-plus tools creative teams juggle today. You'll work across the entire stack: the virtual filesystem that streams S3 cloud storage to editors as a native hard drive in real-time, a Postgres-native backend that doubles as our job queue, vector search engine, and permission system, and a React frontend shared between our web app and desktop client.

## What they're looking for

- 2+ years of experience building production software at high-growth technology companies or startups
- Strong experience with TypeScript across both frontend and backend systems
- Product-minded engineer with strong ownership and the ability to operate autonomously
- Strong taste for product quality, interaction design, and engineering craftsmanship
- Excited about the intersection of creative production and AI
- Comfortable working in-person from our NYC office 5-6 days a week
