About the role
Why You're Here
As a Sr. Full Stack Engineer, you'll operate with autonomy in a small, fast-moving team, working directly with the CTO and founding product engineer to scale Fuser’s core platform. This is a hands-on engineering role — you will spend most of your time designing, coding, and shipping features across the stack.
We’ve launched our public beta with a strong foundation — 100k+ lines of code, multiplayer infrastructure, a node-based canvas, and dozens of AI integrations. Now we’re building toward collaboration, subgraphs, post-production, and operation nodes. You’ll help ship features, shape abstractions, and keep Fuser fast, stable, and expressive for creative professionals.
What You’ll Do
* Build and ship key features across the stack with the founding team
* Own complex systems such as multiplayer, asset pipelines, or execution flows
* Architect clean, scalable abstractions that simplify complexity without limiting control
* Improve performance, reliability, and developer experience
* Help define the architecture for future AI-native UI/UX patterns
* Collaborate tightly with design and product — we move quickly and iterate often
What You’ll Bring
* 5+ years of experience shipping full-stack applications
* Strong skills in React + TypeScript, with backend depth in Node, tRPC, or Cloudflare Workers
* Understanding of distributed or real-time systems
* Experience designing APIs, databases, and data flows
* Curiosity about creative tools, design systems, or AI interfaces
* A builder mindset — you enjoy coding daily and owning your work end-to-end
Bonus Points For:
* Experience with canvas or node-based tools (React Flow, Three.js, WebGPU)
* Familiarity with AI or creative software
* Open-source contributions or creative coding background
Our Stack
Frontend: React 19, React Router 7, Zustand, React Flow, Three.js Backend: Cloudflare Workers, tRPC, Drizzle ORM, PartyKit, Durable Objects Database & Storage: Supabase (PostgreSQL), R2 AI Integrations: 50+ APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Runway, FAL, and more)
How We Work
* Remote-friendly — we welcome candidates anywhere in the U.S.
* LA-based core team — the team works hybrid, and you’ll collaborate remotely via async tools, Slack, and regular touchpoints.
* Optional in-person team weeks — in Los Angeles for planning, onboarding, or deep collaboration.
* Creative-first culture — we care about accessibility, design, and feel.
* High trust, high standards — ownership early, autonomy always.
* Small team, big impact — every commit shapes the future of the product.
Compensation & Benefits
* $80K–$180K USD depending on experience and zone (equity included)
* Signing bonus upon joining
* Healthcare, dental, vision, and 401(k) (U.S. only)
* Flexible hours and focus on deep work
* Generous equity and real product ownership
* Mentorship and leadership growth as we scale while staying hands-on
