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\nBrand-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\nSmall team, massive surface area - senior engineers own whole systems, not slices.\n\nReal scale, real stakes - OpenArt serves millions of creators, and enterprise deals will close (or not) on what you ship.\n\nFounder-led engineering culture - both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture.\n\nAI-native product - you'll decide how cutting-edge models get packaged, governed, and sold to teams and enterprises.\n\nHigh ownership, low process - we value judgment, clarity, and speed over bureaucracy.\n\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\nDesign and build core enterprise primitives: organizations/workspaces, roles and permissions (RBAC), SSO/SAML, and audit logging\n\nBuild usage-based billing, invoicing, and payment infrastructure that supports both self-serve and enterprise procurement (e.g. Stripe)\n\nHarden platform security and reliability to the bar enterprise customers expect - access control, data isolation, and groundwork for compliance certifications (e.g. SOC 2)\n\nDesign scalable backend architectures and APIs that support multi-tenant, team-based usage patterns\n\nBuild clean, polished frontend experiences (React/Next.js) for admin, billing, and workspace management\n\nPartner directly with founders, sales, and customers to turn deal-blocking requirements into shipped platform features\n\nMake pragmatic build-vs-buy calls on infrastructure (billing providers, auth providers, compliance tooling) and clearly communicate the trade-offs\n\nDefine OpenArt's enterprise engineering practices as the function's first hire, and help shape the team that grows around it\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nCore Requirements\n5+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping and owning production systems at scale\n\nStrong system design and data modeling skills - comfortable reasoning about APIs, permission models, multi-tenancy, and data isolation\n\nHands-on experience with infrastructure and platform work: cloud architecture, observability, scaling, or reliability engineering\n\nA 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\nProduct 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\nStrong 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\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with payments or billing systems (e.g. Stripe): subscriptions, usage-based billing, invoicing, disputes\n\nExperience with security or compliance work: SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, SOC 2 / GDPR groundwork\n\nExperience selling to or building for enterprise customers, including procurement and security-review cycles\n\nStartup experience, or ownership of a large product surface from 0 to 1\n\nCompensation\n$500k+ total compensation including base salary, bonus, equity\n\nEquity - meaningful ownership in what you build\n\nHigh autonomy, high growth environment\n\nWork Setup\nBay Area preferred (hybrid available)\n\nVisa sponsorship available\n\nWhat Success Looks Like in 3-6 Months\nWorkspaces, roles, and permissions are live in production and used by paying teams\n\nEnterprise billing - usage metering, invoicing, procurement-friendly payments - is shipped and stable\n\nAt least one enterprise deal has closed on the strength of features you built (e.g. SSO, audit logs)\n\nSOC 2 groundwork is underway, and you can walk a customer's security team through our posture with confidence\n\nYou're setting the direction for enterprise engineering - pushing ideas, not waiting for specs\n\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":5390,"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":["Generative Image","Generative Video"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T16:02:58Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 6","filings_12m":6,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":142500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.823,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":47,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openart-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openart-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T03:34:25Z","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":2955,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"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":176113},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176113"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenart-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%2Fopenart-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%2Fopenart-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/openart-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenart-senior-software-engineer-enterprise-ai-platform"}]}
