Opus Clip is building the next generation of AI-native products — and we need someone who can keep up. We are seeking a Full-Stack AI Engineer who operates at the intersection of applied AI, product instinct, and architectural excellence. This is not a role for someone who waits for tickets. This is a role for a builder who thrives in zero-to-one environments, brings strong technical judgment to AI-generated codebases, and has the grit to ship something the world hasn't seen before.

• Architect the AI-Native Codebase:
  Take ownership of redesigning the structure of a fast-moving, AI-generated codebase. You will bring scalability, maintainability, and long-term thinking to a system built for speed - and make it production-ready.
• Strong Technical Judgment:
  Know when to hack and when to craft. You will make smart, opinionated decisions about architecture, tooling, and trade-offs - and bring the team along with you.
• Build Full-Stack, End to End:
  Own features from front-end (React) to back-end (Node.js, Django, Python), shipping prototypes to production fast and with quality to follow.
• Applied AI Engineering:
  Work hands-on with LLMs, AI agents, tool calling, and memory systems to solve real product challenges - not as a side task, but as the core of what you do.
• Shape the Product:
  Collaborate with product and marketing to define what gets built. You think about users and outcomes, not just code.

• The AI Architect:
  You have experience working on AI-native codebases — whether you came from a product or engineering background — and you know how to bring structure to chaos.
• The Full-Stack Generalist:
  You're comfortable across the entire stack. React on the front end, Node.js or Django on the back. You don't wait for someone else to own a layer.
• The Zero-to-One Builder:
  You've shipped products from scratch, ideally as a solo developer or in a very small team. You define your own scope and thrive in ambiguity.
• The Gritty Competitor:
  You resonate with a combat spirit to win. Speed is everything, and you treat shipping like a sport.
• The AI-Native Engineer:
  You use Cursor and other AI coding tools fluently — but you also know their limits and when human judgment has to lead.

• Multimodal AI Engineering (Video ML/Video AI)
• Background that blends product thinking with technical depth

• You prefer clearly defined scope handed to you
• You want to focus purely on coding without thinking about product or users
• You think vibe coding and production engineering are the same thing
• You don't use AI coding tools — or can't code without them
