Since 2019, we’ve been connecting top brands with great talent to transform the $162 billion creative market. Today, we’re pioneering AI-driven tools that are revolutionizing creative workflows. Join us as we tackle big problems and shape the future of creativity.
About the role:
In this role you will help build the backends of web applications that customers use to collaborate on creative tasks. Examples of recent technologies you have worked on include multiplayer infinite canvas, content generation using LLM, and creating data models and APIs.
The great thing about this role is:
- Build your own AI-powered features: We’re building tools that weren’t possible until recently, and they’re amazed our customers.
- high speed: We move fast. Part of the reason is our tools – we have robust testing, branching environments, and fully automated deployments. Part of the reason is the seniority of our team, which is reflected in our architecture. Part of the reason is our culture of prioritizing and focusing, and not letting excessive process get in the way of results.
- Impact: This is a critical role in building a new product that has the potential to change the way creators and marketers work.
We are looking for people who:
- At least 7 years of experience building web app backends
- Comfortable working with JavaScript or TypeScript
- Familiar with working with NoSQL databases (we use MongoDB)
- You enjoy being involved in the product development process and have a user-centric approach to your work. We don’t expect you to be a PM or designer, but we do expect you to collaborate and take responsibility when the specifications are not covered in detail.
- Communicate clearly and frequently and are comfortable raising their hand when they have a question
- Committed to work, intrinsically motivated and passionate about our mission
- 2+ years of experience working for a VC-backed (or successful) early stage, preferably fast-growth startup.
Three operating principles for success
- A crazy sense of urgency – We understand that speed is our main advantage over bigger players.
- You are customer-obsessed – you know that you can only grow by creating value for your customers.
- When it comes to solving tough problems, you are tenacious and won’t give up until the job is done.
**This role requires the employee to be available to work Eastern Standard Time (ET) hours.
