Hedra is a pioneering video foundation model company founded by former Stanford PhDs and backed by top investors at Index, A16Z, and Abstract Ventures. We're building a full-stack creation studio capable of control, emotion, and creative intelligence.
We raised over 10 million dollars seed funding to revolutionize content creation. Our flagship product, the Character foundation model, launched in late June and garnered national attention , landing us on the top of Reddit (multiple times!) and Twitter. In early October we released Character-2 , which has already produced highly creative and viral content .
Note: At Hedra, we’re a team of hard-working, passionate individuals seeking to fundamentally change content and build a generational company together. You should have start-up experience and be a self-starter that is driven to build impactful products that change the status quo.
As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer , you will design, build, and deploy the frontend and backend services that power our transformative products. You will work with emerging web standards to build web-based video and audio creation / editing tools, utilizing Webcodecs, web-assembly, and FFMPEG. You will also work with frameworks/languages such as NextJS, React, Redux, Mobx, Typescript, and Javascript, and dive deep into video container formats and streaming protocols, such as MP4, MKV, HLS, and MP-DASH.
You will also work on building and deploying backend services and APIs to our Kubernetes infrastructure, write secure, stable, and scalable Python code, interface with our ground-breaking foundation model, and integrate with SQS, Kafka, S3, and DynamoDB to implement event streaming/processing logic.
You will work with passionate engineers and top researchers to build a truly disruptive and novel technology.
