Member of Technical Staff
About The Position
Janitor is building AI interactive entertainment used by millions of people. Users create characters, worlds, stories, and relationships with AI, and this engineer will help make that experience fast, expressive, and fun. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on writing code users directly interact with. Most day-to-day work is in TypeScript, with the expectation of following problems into other languages when appropriate. The role involves shipping product features end to end across the frontend, APIs, and the systems between them. It includes building and improving user creation tools such as character editors, story tools, and chat. Product challenges may involve rendering, data, or inference, and the engineer is expected to investigate issues wherever they arise. Janitor describes itself as early enough for a strong engineer to influence the company’s direction while already operating at scale.
