Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About the Role
Are you passionate about building the future of creative tools? I'm hiring for a Graphics Engineer to join a stealth-mode, design-obsessed startup that's redefining video creation through AI-native, real-time tooling. This is a rare opportunity to shape a product from the inside out - one that blends design systems, high-performance rendering, and generative AI into a seamless creative experience.

You'll sit at the intersection of interactive graphics, Rust architecture, and creative tooling-helping bring a fluid, intelligent canvas to life for creators and marketers worldwide.

Why Join?

• Competitive compensation (up to £115,000 depending on experience)
• Remote-first, with flexible working (UK / EU preferred)
• Direct impact on a category-defining AI x video product
• Work closely with a product-first founding team
• Blend graphics, creative UX, and AI into one cohesive platform

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and build core infrastructure for a next-gen video editing and animation platform
• Design high-performance systems for real-time rendering and creative tooling
• Work across a DOM-like architecture in Rust, connecting rendering logic to a custom UI
• Prototype AI-powered features like auto-editing, dynamic scene generation, or smart transitions
• Collaborate with product and design to deliver beautiful, expressive, high-performance UX
• Help define how AI enhances-not replaces-human creativity in visual storytelling

Requirements

• Strong experience in Rust and building performant systems
• Proven background in graphics rendering or creative tooling (e.g., animation timelines, video editors, WebGL/WebGPU)
• Solid frontend fundamentals-ideally with React, TypeScript, and canvas rendering
• Passion for creative tools, UX, and building expressive platforms
• A systems-thinking mindset-you're comfortable making architectural decisions across the stack
• Curiosity around AI/ML for creative workflows (e.g., generative video, speech-to-text, smart editing)

Nice to Have

• Experience with FFmpeg, GPU compute, or cloud rendering infrastructure
• Familiarity with WebRTC, real-time collaboration, or media pipelines
• Open-source contributions in creative tech or generative AI spaces
