Mitty | First Engineer
Location: Honolulu, HI or REMOTE
Type: Full-time
Compensation: Base + Founding equity
About the Role
Hi, I’m Devin. I am looking for someone who loves hard problems and thinks about new ideas on a daily basis.
Business Overview: Our phone camera rolls have 10,000+ photos and videos. Most aren’t good, but some are. Mitty analyzes the content, creates an idea from what exists, and edits the footage, presenting you with a finished video to post on social.
I am the founder, and you will be the first technical hire. You will own everything technical: pick the stack, make the architecture calls, write the code, and hopefully stay lead engineer for the life of the company.
90-Day Goal: Ship v1.
What We Are Building
We are aiming to be the category leader in AI video creation using pre-existing content (distinct from podcast-style tools like Opus). The goal is to build toward an acquisition or Series B in approximately 3 years (potential acquirers include Adobe, Canva, Meta, or Google).
Requirements
I don’t expect you to be an expert at all of these, but you should be someone who likes figuring things out and can work without micro-management:
- ML/AI: Experience with video understanding or computer vision.
- Mobile: iOS development preferred.
- Video Processing: Experience with video editing pipelines.
- API Integration: Comfort wiring up LLM and vision APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.).
Compensation
- Base Salary: $150k (or more depending on skill).
- Bonus: Performance bonus.
- Equity: Founding-level equity scaled to experience.
