Founding Engineer
We think the next consumer giant isn’t a feed. It’s creation.
GenTube: 10M+ creations/month. 50M+ remixes. Real users, real usage.
We’re hiring Engineer #3.
What this role actually is
→ You own the system end-to-end (frontend → backend → infra → models in prod)
→ You make creation feel instant (latency is the product)
→ You drive cost down without hurting quality
→ You keep the system running under load (queues, failures, fallbacks)
→ You ship continuously while everything is changing
Ship → measure → fix → repeat
The next 10 engineers will copy your standards.
What you’ll work on
→ Core loop: create → remix → repeat
→ Real-time generation (latency, cost, scale)
→ Feed + ranking (what gets seen, what gets built on)
Models aren’t the hard part. The system around them is.
Stack
TypeScript · React · Node · Convex
Real-time inference + large-scale image pipelines
Who you are
→ You’ve shipped systems people actually use
→ You optimize for speed and outcomes, not process
→ You’re comfortable owning messy, undefined problems
→ You care about latency, reliability, and cost as first-class problems
Exceptional new grads welcome if you’ve built real things.
