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\nGround floor of a new category - help define what \"agent\" means for creative work, the way Director redefined what \"directing\" means for video.\n\nSmall team, massive surface area - engineers own real systems end to end, not slices.\n\nReal scale, real stakes - your agents run for millions of creators, and what you ship shows up in the product within days.\n\nFounder-led engineering culture - both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture.\n\nAI-native product - you'll help decide how frontier models get orchestrated and exposed as experiences that feel effortless rather than technical.\n\nHigh ownership, low process - we value judgment, clarity, and speed over bureaucracy.\n\nAbout the Role\nWe'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.\nYou'll contribute to OpenArt Agent and other core products, and help build and evolve OpenArt Arena. The role also involves evaluating the latest video and image generation models, understanding where they excel, and translating those insights into better product capabilities and user experiences.\nThis is a highly product-oriented engineering role. You'll work closely with product, design, and the broader GTM team, moving quickly from market signal to prototype to production. You'll need strong product instincts, solid engineering judgment, and the ability to balance speed, quality, and scalability.\nWhat You’ll Do\nContribute to the development and iteration of OpenArt Agent and other OpenArt products\n\nBuild and evolve OpenArt Arena, creating intuitive experiences for exploring and evaluating generative AI models\n\nPartner closely with product, design, and GTM to turn emerging market trends into compelling product capabilities\n\nEvaluate video and image generation models across quality, capabilities, reliability, and real-world use cases\n\nRapidly prototype and ship innovative projects inspired by new models, technologies, and shifts in user behavior\n\nShip polished, production-ready frontend experiences in React and Next.js, end to end\n\nMake pragmatic trade-offs between speed, correctness, and scalability and communicate them clearly\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nCore Requirements\n2+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping production software\n\nHands-on experience building LLM-powered agents or applications that have reached real users - not just prototypes or demos\n\nWorking familiarity with agent harness concepts: tool use, context/memory management, multi-step planning, or sub-agent orchestration\n\nSolid data modeling and schema design skills for real product use cases\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 - you think about what makes an agent experience feel trustworthy and delightful, not just functional\n\nClear communication - you can explain agent behavior and technical trade-offs to teammates who aren't engineers\n\nNice to Have\nExperience authoring reusable Agent Skills or structured agent workflows\n\nPractical experience building MCP servers or CLI tooling for agents\n\nExposure to agent orchestration frameworks (Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, or similar) or LLM evaluation / observability tooling\n\nHands-on experience with image / video generation models\n\nStartup experience, or having built something 0 to 1 (side projects count)\n\nCompensation\n$200k-$300k+ total compensation including base salary, bonus, equity\n\nEquity - meaningful ownership in what you build\n\nHigh autonomy, high growth environment\n\nWork Setup\nSan Carlos, CA (hybrid allowed)\n\nVisa sponsorship available","description_format":"text","description_chars":4382,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"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":"2026-10-27T04:07:35Z"}],"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":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":350000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openart-software-engineer-gtm","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openart-software-engineer-gtm.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T00:55:38Z","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":1203,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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-software-engineer-gtm"},{"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-software-engineer-gtm"},{"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-software-engineer-gtm"},{"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-software-engineer-gtm\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenart-software-engineer-gtm"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3313307}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"openart.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3313307},"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.
