Graphics Engineer (Rust)

Creative Tech | Hybrid (2-3 Days in London)

Salary: £100,00 - £160,000 + Equity

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.


Why Join?

  • Competitive compensation (up to £115,000 depending on experience)

  • Remote-first, with flexible working (UK / EU preferred)

  • Direct impact on a category-defining AI x video product

  • Work closely with a product-first founding team

  • Blend graphics, creative UX, and AI into one cohesive platform


What You'll Be Doing

  • Architect and build core infrastructure for a next-gen video editing and animation platform

  • Design high-performance systems for real-time rendering and creative tooling

  • Work across a DOM-like architecture in Rust, connecting rendering logic to a custom UI

  • Prototype AI-powered features like auto-editing, dynamic scene generation, or smart transitions

  • Collaborate with product and design to deliver beautiful, expressive, high-performance UX

  • 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?
If you're excited about shaping the technical foundation of a beautifully engineered creative platform-and want to work where AI meets artistry-then let's talk. This is a foundational role in a highly ambitious team with big plans.
