Role

Who you are

Scale Facet's backend architecture to meet both user demand and new product requirements
Be ruthless about latency and performance; Facet is integral to our users’ professional work
Roll out new internal tooling to improve internal stakeholder and developer experience
Use tools including Typescript, Node, Express, Postgres, GraphQL, and Terraform to build fast, scalable APIs and processing pipelines

What the job involves

Using your 5+ years of professional experience, you would be responsible for extending these services to serve new product requirements, and ensuring that they remain fast and stable in the face of growing user demand
Professional experience building and maintaining complex backends with queues and multiple services
Demonstrated ability to propose effective solutions, implement them quickly, and iterate on them in response to feedback
Aptitude for clearly communicating difficult technical concepts
Empathy for the designers, artists, and the visual creative workers who will be using our product

Our take

Facet fuels visual storytelling through the creative use of AI. The company offers an AI-powered photo-editing tool that is accessed using APIs in order to streamline the creative process.

Whilst Facet does offer a consumer-grade platform for small-scale photographers, the company most impresses with its commercial-grade image editing that prepares and presents an inordinate quantity of photos in just minutes. The platform is destined for growth given its support from impressive AI and product experts from Google Brain, Salesforce Metamind and FAIR, as well as its unique community-based model that allows creative forces to collaborate in an unparalleled fashion.

The company has the potential to flourish into an independent powerhouse and is investing its 2021 Series A funding into gaining traction and building out a go-to-market strategy.
