About the role

Build real-time collaboration and canvas tooling (e.g. WebGL2/WebGPU for our node-based tools & CRDTs) Ship durable execution for long-running workflows and public APIs (OpenAPI docs auto-generated from Zod schemas)

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience, ideally with 1+ years contributing to a product with millions of users
  • Real, significant Svelte or React experience - this isn't a pure-backend role
  • Strong first-principles thinking and product sense over attachment to any specific framework
  • Comfort owning things end-to-end, from idea to shipped, measured impact
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Taste - a strong, well-developed point of view on what good creative work looks like
More about this role

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2 , our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

We're looking for a product engineer to help take sub-products already driving significant revenue and make them more robust, while shipping new product surfaces for our creative users. You'd work primarily in SvelteKit (React experience also fine), touching Postgres/Redis/ClickHouse, with occasional reach into Python ML...
