Founding Engineer (Full Stack / AI Video) – GetCrux

Bengaluru, Bengaluru
Full-time
Visa Sponsorship

About the role

We’re building the AI Creative Strategist for ads.

Not dashboards. Not copilots.
A system that actually generates winning creatives 🎯

We’ve crossed $1M ARR in months, work with companies like SoFi, Rocket Money, and Rappi, and now we’re building our next big bet:

→ An agentic video editor that can create, edit, and optimize ad creatives end-to-end 🎬


What this actually means

We want to go from:

prompt → finished ad that performs

Not just generate clips.
But decide:

  • what story to tell
  • what visuals to use
  • how to edit it
  • what works (based on real performance data) 📊

What you’ll do

  • Build systems that orchestrate multiple AI models (video, image, audio) 🤖
  • Work with cutting-edge models (Kling, Veo, etc.)
  • Design async pipelines for generation + editing
  • Build real product surfaces, not just infra
  • Define what “AI video creation UX” even looks like ✨

This is 0 → 1 product work, not maintenance 🚀


Our Tech Stack

Python, Django, Temporal, Celery, AWS/GCP, Redis, RabbitMQ, React, LLMs


Who we’re looking for

  • Can design and ship quickly without over-engineering ⚡
  • Enjoys building delightful, high-performance user experiences 🎨
  • Has experience (or strong interest) in AI, media, or creative tools 🤖
  • Self-directed, detail-oriented, and thrives in fast-paced environments
  • Prefers solving problems end-to-end (idea → shipped product)
