Join one of the fastest-growing GenAI consumer startups globally — already Top 50 worldwide, bootstrapped, profitable, and scaling rapidly.This is not a concept or experiment — it’s real product, real users, and real revenue at massive scale.You’ll work directly with the CTO, owning critical systems and helping shape the next generation of AI-native products from first principles.
What Makes This DifferentThis is not “API-wrapping AI.”This team:
  • Rents and orchestrates their own GPUs
  • Builds and train custom diffusion models
  • Scales infrastructure to serve million of users
  • High E2E ownership. No silos. No passengers.
