About you

A few things we’re looking for:

  • You’ve shipped apps or websites to real customers and iterated to make the product better for them.

  • You’re not afraid to jump into unfamiliar languages if it means shipping a product change more quickly

  • You thrive in the product frontend and have strong opinions about building a great user experience

  • You’re detail-oriented. You care when something is off center or there’s a jitter in the animation. If you see something weird happening in the app in a user onboarding session, you want to jump in and figure out why.

This is not a junior position. call it senior or staff, depending on you. We are excited to learn from you and vice versa.

You will become a world expert in how to make video generation and editing feel effortless (and fast) in a browser. Model inference latency means every single action users in Hypernatural take is asynchronous, but we can’t bore people to death with progress bars all over the UI. Help us make it a joy to use.

Our engineering ethos

Build simple solutions using practical tools.
Good-enough today is much better than perfect next week.
Some details to make that real...

  • The app prototype is a Django app with a React frontend. We use Postgres and Redis and Celery. It was the fastest way to get something built that we could show to real people, while still being easy to deploy and monitor.

  • Our frontend is TypeScript, thankyouverymuch dhh. We’re still using React Router — but we’re open to the idea that maybe it’s time to embrace the Next or Remix ecosystem.

  • We have tests, we have ci, we have automatic deploys. We use a generated TypeScript API client created by some OpenAPI scaffolding, so it’s easy for .ts to talk to .py. But for the first few months there was just an api.ts file with a bunch of fetch() calls in it (!).

We apply the same approach to our working culture. Enough process to get the work done and no more. A willingness to debate and to disagree/commit in equal measure. We do daily standups and weekly planning to talk about how the work is going. We talk to users every day.
We are a remote-first company. We meet as a team once a month in person for a couple of days.

Compensation

We’re venture funded and pay competitive cash and equity compensation.

Who we are

So far, we’re Taylor and Rebecca. We’re passionate about video, AI, and most of all, shipping useful products that users keep coming back to. We like to debate and don’t get too hung up on winning arguments at the expense of shipping and learning.
