We’re helping a well-funded AI startup in San Francisco hire a Staff Software Engineer to join their small, world-class team. This is not just another engineering role, you’ll be building the core product that’s already used by millions of creators worldwide and shaping the future of visual AI.

You’ll thrive here if:
- You have 5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer in startups or growth-stage tech companies.
- You’ve scaled systems before and know the trade-offs that matter.
- You’re comfortable owning everything from frontend → backend without breaking a sweat.
- You’ve worked extensively with VueJS, TypeScript, Electron, Python/Go (or can pick them up fast).
- You’ve contributed to open source or built impressive personal projects (AI side projects = big plus).
- You move fast, learn fast, and think most software could be better.
- You’re motivated to build something that feels like your life’s work.
