Why Vizcom
Vizcom is the AI-powered design platform trusted by teams at GM, Nike, Ford, and 200+ other companies to turn sketches into photorealistic renders, 3D models, and videos. We believe AI should augment human creativity, not replace it — our sketch-first approach keeps designers in control while accelerating iteration from 5 ideas to 500 in a single session. We're a team of ~50 (and growing!), shipping multiple times daily, and building the tool that's becoming the creative standard for professional industrial design.
The Role
You'll work across Vizcom's entire stack — from typescript-based design tools to Postgres data models to AI inference pipelines — to ship complete features that designers use daily. Where our frontend and backend specialists go deep, you go wide: you're the engineer who can trace a bug from a React component through a GraphQL query into a Postgres function, fix it, and ship it before lunch.
This role is ideal for someone who's energized by variety and ownership. In a given week you might build a new canvas interaction in React Flow, optimize a PostGraphile query, add a BullMQ job for a new AI workflow, and review a teammate's migration. We believe AI should augment human creativity, not replace it — you'll build the features that make that philosophy tangible across the entire product.

What You’ll Do
Ship complete features: Own features from React component to Postgres schema — no handoffs, no waiting
Build product UI: Craft interactions in React, TypeScript, and React Flow that feel fast and precise
Develop APIs and data models: Write Postgres migrations, PostGraphile mutations, and RLS policies for multi-tenant isolation
Integrate AI workflows: Connect frontend experiences to GPU inference pipelines via BullMQ and external AI services
Optimize across the stack: Profile slow paths end-to-end — React renders, GraphQL resolution, query plans
Collaborate broadly: Work with frontend specialists, graphics engineers, designers, and product to ship cohesive experiences
Strengthen reliability: Instrument features with observability, write tests, and participate in on-call
The Problems You’ll Tackle
End-to-end latency: a feature feels slow — is it React re-renders, GraphQL over-fetching, a missing index, or cold GPU inference? You figure it out
Data modeling for new product surfaces: Teams features, enterprise workspaces, template systems — each needs schema design, RLS policies, and UI
AI integration UX: making inference results (renders, 3D models, video) stream into the canvas with the right loading states and error handling
Realtime collaboration: WebSocket events, optimistic updates, cache invalidation across URQL + graphcache
Bridging frontend ↔ backend boundaries when features don't fit neatly into one layer
Our Stack (today)
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, styled-components, Zustand, React Three Fiber
Data Layer: URQL + graphcache (GraphQL client), PostGraphile (schema-driven GraphQL from Postgres)
Backend: PostgreSQL (RLS, migrations, functions), PgTyped, Redis, BullMQ
AI Pipeline: Modal.com (GPU inference), ComfyUI, external services (FAL.ai, Tripo, Rodin)
Infra: GitHub Actions, Pulumi, Datadog, Sentry
Security: WorkOS (SSO/SAML), SOC 2 practices
Experience with every item is not required. What matters is that you are excited to shape it.
Qualifications
5–8+ years shipping production software across frontend and backend
