Job Description:

We are looking for versatile and product-minded Backend Engineers to build the core systems that power Luma’s generative AI products, including Dream Machine. This isn't a siloed role; you'll be a generalist working across the entire product backend, from designing and shipping high-traffic APIs to developing the infrastructure for our agentic systems and ensuring our services are scalable and reliable for millions of users.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems and high-traffic REST APIs
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, research, and front-end teams to translate user needs and cutting-edge research into elegant, scalable backend solutions
  • Work across a wide range of backend domains, including API development, asynchronous job queuing, infrastructure management, billing systems, and moderation stacks
  • Take ownership of our AI agent stack, building and scaling the backend systems for agentic workflows and capabilities
  • Work with researchers to integrate advanced video capabilities into our core offerings
  • Work with our research team to rapidly prototype, build, and optimize inference pipelines for state-of-the-art ML models
  • Contribute to our technical roadmap and product strategy, fostering an inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a proven record of shipping impactful, user-focused products
  • Strong proficiency in a backend language like Python or Go, with a willingness to learn across the stack
  • Experience designing and shipping state-of-the-art and high-traffic REST APIs
  • Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Strong understanding of security, authentication, and best practices for designing user-facing APIs
  • A generalist who enjoys hopping from one challenge to the next and is comfortable working on multiple parts of the stack
  • Experience working in fast-paced startup environments, either as a founder or an early-stage engineer, and thrives in the face of ambiguity

Nice to have:

  • AI Agentic Systems: Experience building or deploying agentic systems, co-pilot style features, or other complex LLM-powered workflows
  • Media-Heavy Applications: A background building backend systems for creative tools or media-rich apps (video, images, audio)
  • Full Stack with Frontend Familiarity: Exposure to or experience with frontend development (TypeScript, React)
