The company (the company's site/) is the future of anime.
We're the 1 app for AI anime, where fans make the stories. To date we’ve crossed 300M views on socials (the company's site).
You'll join a strike team of lifelong anime fans reinventing how anime gets made.
Help us make the next One Piece!
Responsibilities
- We're hiring a Founding Product Engineer to own the app (the company's site) end to end. This role is one part product, one part design, one part builder:
- Product: You decide what we build next and own the results. You have strong user instincts, and you prove them in the metrics.
- Design: You have obsessive attention to detail. You care about layouts and cognitive load, because you know the small stuff matters.
- Builder: You have high agency. With AI, you build, test, and launch without waiting on anyone.
- You don't need to be a deep engineer. You do need taste, work ethic, and bias to action.
- You'll work directly with the founders. Robert (CEO) built the product himself and will work alongside you on product and design.
Requirements
- You love anime
- You've shipped consumer apps to real users before, and you can show us
- You have real taste. You can name the apps you love and hate, and explain exactly why, down to a single screen or interaction
- You build fast with AI tools (Claude Code, Claude Design, Codex etc.), and you have enough technical judgment to debug and fix things when they break
- Nice-to-haves
- You've worked on mobile, video, feed or social products
- You have design skills (Figma, motion, prototyping)
- Previous founder or early employee at a startup
- What it's like here
- We’re in-person at our spacious LA office in the heart of Arts District. We’re a close knit team that moves fast. Free meals provided, Crunchyroll + gym membership, pickleball outings, and occasional Smash tournaments. 401K + benefits included.
- Experience: Any (new grads ok)
- Visa: US citizen/visa only
Conditions
$120K-$180K plus a 0.25%-0.75% equity grant.
