## About the role

We’re looking for a cracked founding engineer who wants to build at the edge of AI, creativity, and media. You’ll work across the stack: agentic systems, video generation pipelines, model orchestration, product infrastructure, and the core creative tools filmmakers use every day. You should be highly technical, product-minded, fast, and comfortable owning ambiguous problems from idea to production.

## What they're looking for

- Are deeply familiar with agentic coding tools and know how to orchestrate multiple agents, models, and workflows effectively
- Are creative and excited about building applications, not just infrastructure or models in isolation
- Have 3+ years of engineering experience, or strong graduate-level experience
- Have experience with diffusion models, generative video, computer vision, or ML systems
- Move quickly, have strong taste, and want meaningful ownership at an early-stage company
- Speak our language when it comes to movies, music, storytelling, or internet culture. Huge plus, but we’re always excited to learn
