About the role
We're hiring a senior or staff engineer to lead the agentic architecture behind OpenArt's next generation of creative products, starting with Director — which lets anyone "vibe direct" a multi-minute cinematic video by chatting with AI. You'll own the agent infrastructure that pushes experiences like this further: longer-horizon planning, tool use across multiple model vendors, memory across sessions, sub-agent orchestration, and the harness that keeps all of it reliable in production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping and owning production systems at scale, including 2+ years building LLM-powered agents in production — not just prototypes or demos
- Deep, hands-on experience with agent architecture: tool use, context/memory management, multi-step planning, sub-agent orchestration, and long-running workflows
- Track record of designing evaluation frameworks and observability for agentic systems — you know how to measure whether an agent is working and how to keep it from regressing
- Strong system design and data modeling skills — comfortable reasoning about state, schemas, and APIs for real product use cases
- Experience authoring reusable Agent Skills, structured agent workflows, or equivalent abstractions that other engineers build on
- Demonstrated technical leadership — you've set direction for a system or team, and people follow your architectural calls because they've been right before
More about this role
OpenArt is an AI storytelling and visual creation platform used by millions of creators worldwide. We're building the next generation of creative tools powered by cutting-edge AI — enabling anyone to create videos, visuals, characters, and stories with unprecedented speed and imagination.
We believe the future of creativity is AI-native, and we're shaping that future.
Ground floor of a new category — help define what "agent" means for creative work, the way Director redefined what "directing" means for video. You'll set the architecture everything else is built on.
Own the whole agent layer — not a service, not a slice. Harness, orchestration, memory, evals, tooling: the entire system is yours to design and lead.
Real scale, real stakes — your agents run for millions of creators, and every improvement in reliability, latency, or quality shows up in the product within days.
Founder-led engineering culture — both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture.
AI-native product — you'll decide how frontier models get orchestrated, constrained, and exposed as experiences that feel effortless rather than technical.
High ownership, low process — we value...
