## Job description

## **About us**

* At coreflow, we're redefining entertainment with AI. We're one of the fastest-growing startups globally, serving **20 million users** in our **first year**. We're an in-person company based in Sydney, Australia.
* We're guided by a set of principles that are foundational to our work and drive every decision:

  + **User-first:** We build things that people want. We invest time to understand our users and focus on adding value instead of extracting value.
  + **High agency, high ownership:** We're responsible for the pieces we own, end-to-end. We own every mistake, figure out what went wrong, and fix it. We don't blame anyone or anything else.
  + **Urgency:** This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We prioritize well, find ways to increase leverage, and move at an inspirational pace.

## **What you'll do**

* You'll be one of our early engineers, owning core product and infrastructure decisions as we scale to hundreds of millions of users.

## **Example projects**

* Ship **real-time AI video calls** from scratch with <200ms latency within 1 week.
* Orchestrate **hundreds of GPUs** to serve millions of image generations per day.
* Test and productionize **LoRAs and our in-house models** to serve 10s of millions of users.

## **What you'll bring**

* 5+ years of experience building software at scale.
* Familiarity with **our tech stack:** TypeScript, Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, tRPC, Postgres, Temporal, AWS.
* The ability to **get shit done end-to-end**. From understanding users → proposing an idea → implementation → iteration.
* Hunger to win. This is not going to be easy.

## **What we offer**

* Competitive compensation with meaningful upside.
* A company card for food, coffee, tools, and anything that helps you operate at a high level.
* Daily team lunch and dinner at the office.
* Unlimited workspace budget. Build your ideal setup.
* Real ownership and impact from day one.
* Based in Sydney and hiring globally. We sponsor visas and offer relocation assistance to help you make the move.

## **How we think about comp**

Our overarching philosophy is to raise the ceiling for our best performers, not the floor. We pay based on the value you add to the company.

* The range listed for this role is total comp: cash plus equity combined, with superannuation paid on top.
* We re-evaluate compensation every 6 months. Bonuses are backward-looking; raises are forward-looking.
* A bonus rewards work you've already done, like exceptional output or consistently performing above your level.
* A raise reflects that you've moved up. It resets your baseline to match the higher level you're now operating at.

## **Our interview process**

1. A quick phone call to learn about you and share more about our company.
2. A technical interview, 1hr of system design, no live coding.
3. A paid work trial, so you get a feel for what it's like to work with us.
4. You get an offer, and we celebrate!
