About the role

About Us

Shortbread is a powerful and highly controllable comics studio
powered by an AI copilot. Traditionally, comics are drawn by hand by
multiple artists. Shortbread's editor speeds up the process 5-10x,
and allows anyone to create comics without requiring drawing skills.

We are a team of webtoon artists, MIT and Berkeley engineers, backed
by Y Combinator. We love visual stories and think everyone should
have the power to create their own Batman, Slam Dunk, and Sailor
Moon. We are looking for creative and innovative technologists to
build together the future of comics.
