Job Specifications

Founding Engineer (Gentube)

Nobody has figured out consumer AI yet. There are demos that impress but the AI app that a billion people reach for when they want to have fun doesn't exist. We are the first to build it.

GenTube is an AI creation app. 10M+ creations a month, a mission driven team and users who come back. The mission is to make creation the world's favorite form of entertainment.

The job

Full-stack, end to end: frontend, backend, infra, models in production. You'll be running a tight iteration loop: form a hypothesis, build it fast, watch real users respond, update your priors, create impact.

Stack: TypeScript

React
Node.js
Convex
hyper-fast diffusion models

You

You need the instinct to ship, the competence to know what's good, and the grit to build what matters. You move without needing permission. New grads welcome.

Us

Small team in Toronto. The founders sold an AI company for $150M and built products used by 100M+ people. They're here because this is the most interesting problem in front of them.

Top market comp, equity, health and dental, unlimited PTO, opportunity to build generational company.
