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.\nWe believe the future of creativity is AI-native, and we're shaping that future.\nWhy Join OpenArt\n- Brand-new function, real mandate - enterprise and team customers are one of our biggest growth levers, and most of the infrastructure behind them hasn't been built yet. You'll be the first engineer on it.\n- Small team, massive surface area - senior engineers own whole systems, not slices.\n- Real scale, real stakes - OpenArt serves millions of creators, and enterprise deals will close (or not) on what you ship.\n- Founder-led engineering culture - both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture.\n- AI-native product - you'll decide how cutting-edge models get packaged, governed, and sold to teams and enterprises.\n- High ownership, low process - we value judgment, clarity, and speed over bureaucracy.\nAbout the Role\nWe're hiring a senior engineer to build the product and infrastructure that lets OpenArt serve teams and enterprises, not just individual creators. That spans the full surface: workspaces and team management, roles and permissions, usage-based billing and procurement-friendly invoicing, audit logs, and the security posture - SSO, data controls, compliance groundwork - that larger customers expect before they'll sign.\nThis is a full-stack role in the enterprise function. You'll move between customer-facing product (admin consoles, billing UI, workspace settings) and the backend and infrastructure underneath it (access control, usage metering, payment integrations, hardening our systems for enterprise-grade reliability and security). You'll work directly with the founders to figure out, in real time, what \"enterprise-ready\" needs to mean for an AI-native creative platform - and then build it.\nWhat You'll Do\n- Design and build core enterprise primitives: organizations/workspaces, roles and permissions (RBAC), SSO/SAML, and audit logging.\n- Build usage-based billing, invoicing, and payment infrastructure that supports both self-serve and enterprise procurement (e.g. Stripe).\n- Harden platform security and reliability to the bar enterprise customers expect - access control, data isolation, and groundwork for compliance certifications (e.g. SOC 2).\n- Design scalable backend architectures and APIs that support multi-tenant, team-based usage patterns.\n- Build clean, polished frontend experiences (React/Next.js) for admin, billing, and workspace management.\n- Partner directly with founders, sales, and customers to turn deal-blocking requirements into shipped platform features.\n- Make pragmatic build-vs-buy calls on infrastructure (billing providers, auth providers, compliance tooling) and clearly communicate the trade-offs.\n- Define OpenArt's enterprise engineering practices as the function's first hire, and help shape the team that grows around it.\nWhat We're Looking For\nCore Requirements\n- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping and owning production systems at scale.\n- Strong system design and data modeling skills - comfortable reasoning about APIs, permission models, multi-tenancy, and data isolation.\n- Hands-on experience with infrastructure and platform work: cloud architecture, observability, scaling, or reliability engineering.\n- 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 work well.\n- Product sense for B2B - you know what makes an admin console feel trustworthy to an IT buyer and a workspace feel effortless for a team.\n- Strong communication skills - you can sit in a customer security review or a sales call, then translate what you heard into clear technical trade-offs for non-technical teammates.\nNice to Have\n- Experience with payments or billing systems (e.g. Stripe): subscriptions, usage-based billing, invoicing, disputes.\n- Experience with security or compliance work: SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, SOC 2 / GDPR groundwork.\n- Experience selling to or building for enterprise customers, including procurement and security-review cycles.\n- Startup experience, or ownership of a large product surface from 0 to 1.\nCompensation\n- $500k+ total compensation including base salary, bonus, equity.\n- Equity - meaningful ownership in what you build.\n- High autonomy, high growth environment.\nWork Setup\n- Bay Area preferred (hybrid available).\n- Visa sponsorship available.\nWhat Success Looks Like in 3-6 Months\n- Workspaces, roles, and permissions are live in production and used by paying teams.\n- Enterprise billing - usage metering, invoicing, procurement-friendly payments - is shipped and stable.\n- At least one enterprise deal has closed on the strength of features you built (e.g. SSO, audit logs).\n- SOC 2 groundwork is underway, and you can walk a customer's security team through our posture with confidence.\n- You're setting the direction for enterprise engineering - pushing ideas, not waiting for specs.\nIf you want to build the platform that turns a consumer AI product into an enterprise business - and own it from day one - we'd love to talk.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5397,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Venture Capital"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T19:15:14Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":167500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":89,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.888,"p_room":1,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":162,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":500000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/embedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/embedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T04:09:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6434,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6711},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6711"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/embedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fembedding-vc-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":630526}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"embedding.vc","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":630526},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
