## About the role

We’re building in stealth with world-class teams at companies like Clay and Shopify, and we’re looking for founding engineers in-person in NYC. We’ve hit an inflection point on fit with our customers and looking to aggressively grow the team across engineering, AI, and design.

## What they're looking for

- Help build out our core agent workflows
- Add Figma-style real-time collaboration between humans and AI to our core editing
- Prototype new AI pipelines using frontier diffusion models, reasoning models, internal and external data, and evals
- Extend and optimize our server-side video/graphics rendering pipeline
- Write WebGL shaders for special FX and graphics
- We believe in small, hard-working, talent-dense teams
