Sr. Full Stack Engineer

TrueShort • San Fransisco, CA

3d • Remote

About The Position

We're building the world’s first AI-driven film studio and distribution platform. We have 250K+ downloads, backed by $12M from Keith Rabois at Khosla Ventures, Jeffrey Katzenberg (Founder of DreamWorks), Scott Belsky (Founder of Behance), Brian Halligan (Founder of HubSpot), and General Catalyst. We need a senior full-stack engineer to own the consumer web apps, internal production tools, and CMS, and eventually lead the expansion into TV streaming apps! Want to build consumer-facing software where millions of people stream content, and work on a proprietary AI content generation pipeline? This role is both. At TrueShort you’ll work alongside incredibly talented, entrepreneurial, and technical people, with real autonomy and influence. We’re using the latest technology in AI to create cinematic-level streaming content, and distributing it to our users through our mobile/web apps. We pair proprietary AI video production tools with a team of filmmakers and engineers to create binge-worthy series at a pace and cost traditional studios can't touch.

Requirements

• Strong frontend skills in React / Next.js — you should be fast and opinionated here
• Strong backend engineering experience.
• Experience building internal tools and dashboards — you enjoy making other teams more productive
• Comfort working across the stack when needed — backend, infra, data pipelines
• An eye for UX — you care deeply about what the user actually experiences, not just whether the code compiles
• Self-directed, fast-moving, and comfortable with ambiguity that comes from working in a startup environment
• Genuine interest and experience in AI as both a product domain and a development tool

Nice To Haves

• React Native / Android experience is highly relevant, but not required.
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud-native infrastructure is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own and develop consumer-facing web apps for TrueShort and GoodWatch — streaming, discovery, subscriptions, the full user experience
• Build and maintain the CMS that manages content distribution across our apps
• Use AI to work on internal company tools that boost our productivity & efficiency
• Work across the backend — streaming infrastructure, APIs, content delivery — you'll be close to the full pipeline
• Shape the product — our engineers at TrueShort aren't just implementers. You'll influence what we build and how.
• Work alongside talented engineers and executors to create the new Netflix.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO.
• Full AI subscription access. Claude Max, Cursor, OpenAI Codex — whatever makes you more productive and enjoy your work, we'll pay for it.
• Team off-sites in cool places.
• Exciting startup with huge upside potential & equity
