Are you passionate about building the future of creative tools? I’m hiring for a Graphics Engineer to join a stealth-mode, design-obsessed startup that’s redefining video creation through AI-native, real-time tooling. This is a rare opportunity to shape a product from the inside out – one that blends design systems, high-performance rendering, and generative AI into a seamless creative experience.

You’ll sit at the intersection of interactive graphics, Rust architecture, and creative tooling-helping bring a fluid, intelligent canvas to life for creators and marketers worldwide.

  • Help define how AI enhances-not replaces-human creativity in visual storytelling


What You’ll Bring

  • Strong experience in Rust and building performant systems

  • Proven background in graphics rendering or creative tooling (e.g., animation timelines, video editors, WebGL/WebGPU)

  • Solid frontend fundamentals-ideally with React, TypeScript, and canvas rendering

  • Passion for creative tools, UX, and building expressive platforms

  • A systems-thinking mindset-you’re comfortable making architectural decisions across the stack

  • Curiosity around AI/ML for creative workflows (e.g., generative video, speech-to-text, smart editing)


Nice to Have

  • Experience with FFmpeg, GPU compute, or cloud rendering infrastructure

  • Familiarity with WebRTC, real-time collaboration, or media pipelines

  • Open-source contributions in creative tech or generative AI spaces


Interested?
