Mid-Level AI Product ​/ Creative-Tools Engineer

Mid-Level Engineer

Location:

Santa Ana, California — on-site

Employment type:

Full-time Salary: $120,000 – $155,000

Created.ai is an AI-powered creative platform combining text, image and video generation into production tools for commercial creative work. The platform is operated by eJam, a multi-brand consumer products and technology company.

We are expanding our engineering team with two appointments covering our AI platform infrastructure and our product engineering surface. Both roles carry substantial technical ownership and report directly into engineering leadership.

This position is AI-native by design. Our engineers work with agentic coding tools as a primary part of their daily workflow, which allows a small team to operate at a scope that would conventionally require a much larger one. We are looking for engineers whose judgement, architectural thinking and review discipline scale that leverage rather than being replaced by it.

We are seeking a Mid-Level Engineer to build and ship features across the created.ai product experience — from the browser client through our NestJS API to the Python AI services that power generation, and back out to how results are presented in the interface.

You will work within an established architecture rather than defining it. A staff engineer sets the platform patterns and a senior engineer reviews your design decisions; your job is to take a well-specified problem, build it properly across the stack, and ship it to production. Over time we expect you to take on progressively larger and less-specified pieces of work.

This suits an engineer with two to four years of production experience who is stronger than their years suggest, wants to work on generative creative tooling, and would rather ship user-facing product than maintain someone else's backlog.

Key responsibilities include:

• Build and ship end-to-end product features across the request path, working from specifications you help refine
• Implement asynchronous user experiences — progress states, partial failures and recovery paths — using the patterns our platform already establishes
• Consume and extend typed API contracts between the web client, NestJS services and Python AI services
• Build interface components that are consistent with our existing design and component system
• Write and maintain automated tests for the code you ship, at unit and integration level
• Take part in code review, both giving and receiving it, and act on the feedback
• Work with product colleagues to turn creative-tooling ideas into shippable scope
