Your impact
Build the interface of autonomous video creation — real-time editors, intelligent analytics dashboards, and deeply interactive workflows. As a founding frontend engineer, you’ll define how users experience AI-powered creation, craft intuitive UIs around complex capabilities, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser. Your code will shape how brands create at scale.
About Us
At Solid Labs, we’re building the first autonomous video creation platform powered by LLMs, real-time pipelines, and persistent brand memory — so marketers can scale video ads like never before. We're backed by top-tier investors and operators who’ve built category-defining AI and creative tech companies. Our recent pre-seed gives us the capital and conviction to move fast. We’re already trusted by leading DTC, eComm, and marketplace brands — and we’re just getting started.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Solid Labs, you’ll work alongside AI researchers, backend engineers, product designers, and creative technologists to craft a powerful and elegant interface for generating, editing, and scaling short-form video content. You’ll work closely with a 6× Apple Design Award-winning product designer and shape every layer of our user experience — from video timelines and caption editors to real-time performance dashboards and ML-powered creative tooling.
You’ll face complex technical challenges around browser-based video processing, latency, and rendering — and you’ll help pioneer new ways for users to interact with generative AI. You’re a strong fit if you care about performance, clarity, and craft — and if you love shipping fast without sacrificing quality.

Why it matters
Video is the dominant language of the internet — but creating high-performing content is slow, manual, and fragmented. We’re changing that by:
* Rebuilding creation from first principles with LLMs, speech, and vision models connected through real-time, modular pipelines
* Giving marketers creative superpowers by collapsing dozens of tools into one intelligent system
* Creating self-learning video systems that generate, iterate, and improve content performance — autonomously
Why you should join us
* Now’s the time: Freshly funded, experienced founders, real traction, top customers — and early enough to still shape everything. You’ll have massive impact on the product, architecture, and our culture.
* Hard problems, real use : From async orchestration and GPU optimization to data pipelines and video infra — this is applied AI at the edge
* Full ownership : No middle layers, full access to customers, full-stack scope
* Team & vibe : Ambitious, curious, global. We’ll reshape an industry and keep it fun while doing so! Team events, offsites and swag!
What We Offer
* Top-of-market compensation : Salary and benefits package designed to attract top talent
* Early team equity : Offering the best VSOP and aligned with stage
* Remote-friendly: with offices in Berlin, Cologne, and Vienna
* Technical challenges : Opportunity to work on cutting-edge problems in video, ML, and collaborative tools. We move fast but build serious systems.
* Your setup: Choose your favorite equipment and working environment. Whether Mac/Windows/Linux suits you, we want you to feel comfortable.
* Uncapped growth: Founding engineer, tech lead, principal IC — you choose your path
