About company

Playground is an image editor that combines AI research and product design to let you create graphics like a Pro without being one. Our mission is to push the boundaries of what computers can do with graphics.

About the role

Engineers on the team today:

  • Work TypeScript/JavaScript primarily
  • Are supportive—especially when teammates are faced with new challenges
  • Are left to autonomously figure out the solutions to their challenges
  • Put themselves in the shoes of our users to craft a great experience
  • Value clear, frequent communication (we do a lot of reading & writing)
  • Are naturally curious and willing to take a step to learn something they don’t have experience in
  • Feel a great sense of accountability to each other
  • Uphold best practices in engineering, security, and design


Skills & Experience

  • 2+ years of working full-time as a software engineer
  • Understanding of modern web technologies


Here are examples of things we’ve worked on:

  • Search using CLIP embeddings to enable queries like “An underwater dog with sunglasses
  • Scaling our distributed image generation servers to handle millions of images per week at higher throughput than stock diffusers library support
  • Building high quality design implementations of our Image creation editor experiment that bring delight to our users
  • Building an automated way to train finetuned models across a distributed GPU cluster to enable users to use filters that aesthetically improve image creation
