Staff Engineer

ChatGPT Jobs is a startup focused on building a modern, browser-based media creation suite designed for rapid iteration in an AI-driven world. They are seeking a hands-on Staff Engineer to deliver features end-to-end and improve the system's architecture while working closely with a small team in a dynamic environment.

Computer Software

Responsibilities

Ship end-to-end features across our Next.js frontend and Python API backend
Design and build systems for media creation: asset ingestion, processing, preview generation, rendering/export, and AI-assisted workflows
Own technical outcomes: take ambiguous requirements and turn them into scalable, maintainable implementations
Bring 3D/game-dev tooling thinking into the product: scene/asset graphs, deterministic pipelines, versioning, caching, reproducibility, and performance-aware workflows
Improve reliability and velocity: refactors, testing strategy, CI/CD, observability, performance, cost controls, and operational readiness
Raise the engineering bar through mentorship and reviews-without becoming "meetings-only."

Qualification

Required

Senior-to-staff level experience owning production systems end-to-end
Strong full-stack capability: you can work comfortably across Next.js + Python APIs, and debug across boundaries
Startup mindset: high ownership, high output, low ego, and comfort with ambiguity
Strong system design instincts: you can build fast without creating a fragile mess
Excellent collaboration: clear communicator, strong reviewer, productive partner to product/design
Strong familiarity with industry-standard media creation tools and workflows. You understand how professional teams build, manage, and ship content across pre/pro/post
Experience designing and supporting media pipelines end-to-end (assets, timelines/projects, processing, preview/render/export), with an instinct for reliability, performance, and iteration speed
Comfort working in the 'messy middle' between creative UX and engineering constraints: formats/codecs, storage, caching, background jobs, and scaling production workflows

Preferred

Familiarity with 3D and game-dev-adjacent concepts (scene/asset graphs, rendering constraints, asset versioning/caching, performance-minded workflows)
Experience at companies like Adobe, CapCut/ByteDance, Canva, or other creation tooling orgs
Experience building media-heavy products (video/photo/audio editors, asset management, render/export pipelines)
Experience orchestrating external APIs and compute services (async pipelines, retries, idempotency, cost/perf tradeoffs). Comfort with browser constraints for heavy workflows (large state, complex UI, performance profiling, memory awareness)
