Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Summary:

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will design, build, and scale the products and systems that make Hedra’s visual intelligence accessible to users and developers. You’ll work across the stack, building intuitive interfaces for creating, manipulating, and interacting with visual content while also developing the backend services that power those experiences.

On the frontend, you’ll work with technologies like Next.js, React, Redux, and TypeScript to build fast, highly interactive experiences around image, video, and multimodal models. On the backend, you’ll build secure, reliable, and scalable Python services and APIs on AWS, working across model integrations, asynchronous workloads, inference orchestration, and real-time product experiences. You’ll work with systems like Postgres, Redis, S3, and SQS as we continue to scale the platform.

You’ll work closely with engineers and researchers building physical world models across generation, perception, prediction, and planning, helping turn frontier research into products people can actually use. As Hedra expands beyond media generation into the broader class of physical world models, you’ll have significant ownership over how those capabilities are translated into compelling, production-ready experiences.
