Requirements

• A track record of shipping real products that real users depend on, and the war stories to go with it
• Fluency driving coding agents on non-trivial existing codebases, not just greenfield demos — plus the judgment to review generated code critically, catching the plausible-but-wrong, the insecure, and the unmaintainable
• A clear view on where agents should not be trusted, and why
• Visual craft — your interfaces look considered, and you can tell the difference between shipped-and-fine and actually good. Comfortable working from a Figma file or from nothing
• Strong product sense: you make UX and technical tradeoffs deliberately, and can explain them to people who don't write code
• Excellent debugging instincts, wherever the bug turns out to live
• Comfort with the ambiguity and pace of an early-stage lab — loose requirements, shifting priorities, and nobody to tell you what to do next

Nice to Have

• Experience with React, TypeScript, and Next.js (we use them - we just don't think they're the hard part)
• A track record of building developer tools or creative applications
• Previous experience building interfaces on top of generative models, and working knowledge of AI/ML concepts
• Instrumentation and experimentation experience: analytics, A/B testing, activation funnels
• Contributions to open-source projects

What You'll Be Doing

• Shipping high-quality web applications end to end, fast
• Turning research capabilities into product - first prototype through to production
• Owning frontend architecture and the practices the rest of the engineering team builds on
• Setting the visual bar - the shared components, interaction detail, and polish that everything else gets held against
• Designing for genuinely hard interaction problems: long-running generations, iterative editing, large media payloads, real-time inference
• Driving performance for high-volume media processing and latency that users actually feel
• Working with research, infra, growth, and design to decide what's worth building at all

Perks and Benefits

• The chance to put the first interface on frontier image and video models, sometimes before anyone outside the lab has seen them
• Work alongside the researchers who invented much of modern generative media
• Competitive salary, equity and benefits programs
• Hybrid working environment from our HQ in Freiburg (Germany) with regular global off-sites
