About the role

Poly is a Stanford/Berkeley generative AI startup for designers
(backed by YC, Bloomberg, Felicis, Figma, etc.). We just raised $8M
and are looking for a founding front-end/platform/full-stack
engineer. We are building new foundation models to create beautiful
and infinitely customizable Design Assets (textures, vector
illustrations, 3D assets, sound, etc.) that help professional
designers create more, better, faster.

We're one of the first YC GenAI startups launched (Feb 2022, well
before Stable Diffusion / GPT4), but stayed below the radar as we
quietly built and launched core technology. You can check out our
current product at http://withpoly.com (first released 3 months ago
and grew to 100K MAUs within 6 weeks), though we have a brand new
experience about to launch this month that lets you generate native
HD vector graphics (SVGs), a huge need and opportunity for designers.

We need a talented individual who can be a founding member of a
world-class product team. You must have significant experience (or
significant enthusiasm) in developing/improving our frontend
application, including in the following areas:

  * Frontend Typescript Frameworks (we use Vue, so specific
    experience in Vue is required)
  * Full-stack & API development (Python knowledge is very helpful!)
  * In-browser & modern web stack (WebGPU, WASM, WebGL), knowledge of
    Rust or other fast statically typed languages highly preferred
  * Design & UX (customer research, user studies, usability, design
    systems, Figma, etc.)

connection request) to me:) My bio is here: https://www.linkedin.com/

About Poly

Poly (https://withpoly.com) is DALL-E/Stable Diffusion for
professional design assets. We let you generate 4K HD,
commercially-licensed design assets with just a text prompt. We are
currently live with our first model, which generates textures for 3D
models (example: https://wthp.ly/Mu7LsB5dki). Our vision is to
disrupt the $100B creative assets industry with AI-generated
illustrations, icons, textures, sound effects, and much more. We're
hoping to build the world's professional design library that anyone
can use and any product can connect to.
