Frontend Engineer (Anime Games)

The Frontend Role

We're seeking a talented Front-End Engineer to join our team and help us build the next generation of anime and video game tools. You'll be responsible for designing and developing complex front-end applications, usually in React and TypeScript, with a focus on making responsive and delightful user interfaces.

You May Be a Good Fit If

1. You love anime and the anime aesthetic. As a member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in the anime and video game industry. Ideally, you're a fan of the genre.
2. You enjoy working on complex SPAs. Most of our apps are interaction-heavy single-page editors, much closer in spirit to Photoshop and Blender than your typical SaaS app. A willingness to dive headfirst into canvas, WebGL, and (maybe!) WebGPU is recommended!
3. You also have some design sense. Large complex SPAs have all sorts of super interesting UI/UX challenges! We're looking for someone with experience building tasteful UI, a good design sense for layout, experiences, and microinteractions.
4. You're comfortable working on small, fast-paced teams. We currently have a tiny team of two on frontend engineering. You'll be working directly with some of the best AI researchers in the world to integrate their state-of-the-art models into your beautiful interfaces.
5. We also believe in the unmatched speed of in-person teams and prefer on-site collaboration in either our primary research office in Tokyo (downtown Akihabara) or San Francisco. Visa sponsorships are available.
