SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER, GTM

🎨 ABOUT OPENART

OpenArt is an AI storytelling and visual creation platform used by millions of creators worldwide. We're building the next generation of creative tools powered by cutting-edge AI — enabling anyone to create videos, visuals, characters, and stories with unprecedented speed and imagination.

We believe the future of creativity is AI-native, and we're shaping that future.

🚀 WHY JOIN OPENART

- Work at the edge of a fast-moving market — turn emerging models, creative formats, and shifts in user behavior into products while the opportunity is still new.

- Small team, massive surface area — engineers own products and experiments end to end, from identifying an opportunity to shipping it to users.

- Real scale, fast feedback — what you build reaches millions of creators, giving you immediate signals about what works.

- Founder-led engineering culture — both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and engineering.

- AI-native product — work directly with the latest image, video, and language models, and help determine how they become useful creative experiences.

- High ownership, low process — we value product judgment, clarity, and speed over bureaucracy.

🎯 ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring engineers to join OpenArt's engineering team and turn fast-moving market trends into products people want to use. You'll work at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market — identifying emerging opportunities in generative AI, rapidly prototyping new ideas, and shipping innovative experiences while the window of opportunity is still open.

You'll contribute to OpenArt Agent and other core products, while helping build and evolve OpenArt Arena. You'll also evaluate the latest video and image generation models, understand where they excel, and translate those insights into better product capabilities and user experiences.

It is a highly product-oriented engineering role for someone who follows the market closely, develops strong opinions about where it is heading, and can turn those opinions into polished products. You'll work closely with product, design, and GTM, moving quickly from market signal to prototype to production.

🛠 WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Contribute to the development and iteration of OpenArt Agent and other OpenArt products

- Build and evolve OpenArt Arena, creating intuitive experiences for discovering, comparing, and evaluating generative AI models

- Partner closely with product, design, and GTM to turn emerging market trends into compelling product capabilities

- Evaluate video and image generation models across quality, capabilities, reliability, and real-world use cases

- Rapidly prototype and ship innovative projects inspired by new models, technologies, creative formats, and shifts in user behavior

- Build polished, production-ready frontend experiences in React and Next.js, end to end

- Use product data and user feedback to determine what to improve, expand, or move on from

- Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, correctness, and scalability — and communicate them clearly

⚙ WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Core Requirements

- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping production software

- Strong proficiency with React and Next.js, with the ability to build polished product experiences end to end

- Experience integrating AI models or APIs into products used by real users

- Strong product instincts — you can identify what is interesting, useful, and worth building without waiting for a detailed specification

- The ability to move quickly from an ambiguous idea to a working prototype, and from prototype to reliable production software

- Genuine interest in generative AI, creative tools, and the rapidly evolving image and video model ecosystem

- A strong AI-assisted coding practice — you use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor as a core part of how you build, and have real opinions about what makes them effective

- Clear communication — you can explain what you built, why it matters, and the trade-offs behind your decisions

Nice to Have

- Hands-on experience with image or video generation models

- Experience designing or running model evaluations, benchmarks, or comparison systems

- Experience building AI-powered creative products, agent experiences, or consumer applications

- Familiarity with product analytics, experimentation, or growth-oriented product development

- Strong visual and interaction design instincts

- Startup experience, or experience taking a product from 0 to 1 — side projects count

💰 COMPENSATION

- $400-$500k+ total compensation, including base salary, bonus, and equity

- Meaningful equity ownership in what you build

- High-autonomy, high-growth environment

🌍 WORK SETUP

- San Carlos, CA with hybrid options available

- Visa sponsorship available

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
