Co-Founder & CTO @ Lumina Platforms | Building GenAI-Powered Creative Agents | BIV Top 40 Under 40
About the Role ~
At Lumina Platforms, we’re reimagining the future of content creation — blending intuitive design, powerful editing tools, and AI-native capabilities into a single seamless, agentic, co-creative experience. Our platform will empower creators, marketers, and teams to produce professional-grade video content with unprecedented ease, speed, and intelligence.
We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to play a lead role in building the next-generation platform orchestrated through a DOM-like structure written in Rust. We’re looking for engineers who obsess over correctness, performance, and building expressive tools that scale beautifully.
You’ll be at the heart of our technical architecture — shaping the core experience and symbiotic relationship between AI & Platform that will transform creativity in the coming years.
* Lead architecture and development of our interactive video creation platform
* Design and implement performant systems for real-time video editing, animation, and rendering
* Collaborate with product and design to bring a fluid, intelligent, canvas-like creative experience to life
* Stay ahead of the curve in emerging AI and video tech, helping us build not just for now, but for what’s next
* Set high standards for code quality, performance, scalability, and team collaboration
* Prototype and integrate AI-powered features such as:
* Smart editing suggestions
* Auto-generated captions, voiceovers, or transitions
* Dynamic scene assembly or auto-layout tools
What You Bring ~
Technical Expertise
* 7+ years of software engineering experience, ideally across both frontend and backend
* Deep experience with React, TypeScript and custom rendering (Canvas/WebGL/WebGPU)
* Experience working with Rust and Python stacks
* Experience building creative or design tools (e.g., video editors, animation UIs, timelines)
* Strong systems thinking, capable of owning complex technical decisions across the stack
AI-Forward Thinking
* Familiarity with current and emerging AI/ML trends in video and media
* Transcription and speech-to-text (e.g., Whisper, Deepgram)
* Vector embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation, or on-device inference
* Curiosity and imagination around how AI can amplify creativity, not just automate tasks
Nice to Have
* Experience with FFmpeg, media pipelines, GPU compute, or cloud rendering infrastructure
* Knowledge of WebRTC, WebSockets, or real-time collaboration tooling
* Open-source contributions in creative tech, media processing, or AI frameworks
* Lead the platform — you’ll have a pivotal role in defining how the entire product works
* Work on bleeding-edge tech at the intersection of creativity, video, and AI
* Join a small, high-caliber team with a product-first mindset and design obsession
* High impact, strong ownership, and equity upside in a fast-growing space
* Help shape a product that could empower millions to tell better stories
