Software Engineer, GTM
About The Position
OpenArt is hiring engineers for its engineering team to turn fast-moving market trends into useful products. The role works at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market: identifying emerging opportunities in generative AI, rapidly prototyping ideas, and shipping new experiences. The engineer will contribute to OpenArt Agent and other core products, help build and evolve OpenArt Arena, and evaluate video and image generation models to translate their strengths into improved product capabilities and user experiences. This is a highly product-oriented role requiring collaboration with product, design, and the broader GTM team, moving from market signal through prototype to production while balancing speed, quality, and scalability. The work setup is in San Carlos, California, with hybrid work allowed. Visa sponsorship is available.
Requirements
- At least 2 years of full-stack engineering experience shipping production software.
- Hands-on experience building LLM-powered agents or applications that have reached real users, rather than only prototypes or demos.
- Working familiarity with agent harness concepts, such as tool use, context or memory management, multi-step planning, or sub-agent orchestration.
- Solid data modeling and schema design skills for real product use cases.
- Strong AI-assisted coding practice, using tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor as a core part of the development process, with informed opinions about what makes them work well.
- Product sense, including an understanding of how to make an agent experience feel trustworthy and delightful, not merely functional.
- Clear communication skills, including the ability to explain agent behavior and technical trade-offs to non-engineering teammates.
Nice To Haves
- Experience authoring reusable Agent Skills or structured agent workflows.
- Practical experience building MCP servers or CLI tooling for agents.
- Exposure to agent orchestration frameworks such as Claude Agent SDK or LangGraph, or to LLM evaluation or observability tooling.
- Hands-on experience with image or video generation models.
- Startup experience or experience building something from 0 to 1; side projects count.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the development and iteration of OpenArt Agent and other OpenArt products.
- Build and evolve OpenArt Arena, creating intuitive experiences for exploring and evaluating generative AI models.
- Partner with product, design, and GTM to turn emerging market trends into compelling product capabilities.
- Evaluate video and image generation models across quality, capabilities, reliability, and real-world use cases.
- Rapidly prototype and ship innovative projects inspired by new models, technologies, and shifts in user behavior.
- Ship polished, production-ready frontend experiences in React and Next.js, end to end.
- Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, correctness, and scalability, and communicate them clearly.
Benefits
- Equity described as meaningful ownership in what you build.
- High-autonomy, high-growth environment.
- Visa sponsorship available.
