Senior Software Engineer (C++)

Requirements:

• B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
• 6+ years of experience or equivalent knowledge
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern web development (ES6+, React or similar frameworks)
• Solid understanding of design patterns, data structures, and algorithms
• Experience building high-performance web applications with focus on user experience
• Comfortable with full-stack development (frontend, backend APIs, databases, integrations)
• Product mentality: you think about user impact, not just technical elegance
• Bias toward action: you ship iteratively and improve based on feedback, rather than perfecting in isolation
• Strong ownership: you proactively identify risks, communicate blockers, and drive your work to completion without heavy direction
• Proficiency in English, both writing and speaking

Nice to haves:

• C++ or systems programming background with demonstrated ability to apply low-level thinking to high-level problems (performance optimization, memory management, etc.)
• Advanced JavaScript concepts: WebAssembly (WASM), C++ to JS transpilation, web workers, or performance optimization
• Prompt engineering and GenAI integration experience - you’ve built features using LLMs, agents, or AI-powered workflows
• Graphics programming experience, especially vector graphics or creative tooling
• Architecture experience: you’ve led technical design for multi-engineer features or systems

What you'll be doing:

• Own features end-to-end: from collaborating with Product and Design on user problems, through architecture and implementation, to production deployment and measurement
• Ship fast in a dynamic environment: build high-quality, testable, maintainable code while adapting quickly to changing priorities and user feedback in our modern creative tools' product
• Make pragmatic technical decisions: evaluate trade-offs between speed and quality, choose appropriate technologies and patterns, and document decisions through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
• Elevate the team: provide thoughtful code reviews, and contribute to our high-autonomy engineering culture through clear communication and collaboration

Perks and Benefits:

• Opportunity to build AI-powered features for millions of creatives
• High-visibility work on cutting-edge AI in a fast-paced environment
• Ownership and direct impact on user experience
• Join a team committed to creating exceptional employee experiences
