Senior/Staff Frontend Engineer

Hedra is a pioneering generative media company backed by top investors at A16Z, Index, and Abstract Ventures. We're building Hedra Studio, a multimodal creation platform capable of control, emotion, and creative intelligence.

At the core of Hedra Studio is our Character-3 foundation model, the first omnimodal model in production. Character-3 jointly reasons across image, text, and audio for more intelligent video generation — it’s the next evolution of AI-driven content creation.

Note: At Hedra, we’re a team of hard-working, passionate individuals seeking to fundamentally change content and build a generational company together. You should have start-up experience and be a self-starter that is driven to build impactful products that change the status quo. The Hedra team is fully in-person in SF/NY with a shared love of solving hard problems using whiteboards.

As a Frontend Engineer, you'll build Hedra's next generation collaborative web interfaces for creating, optimizing, and deploying generative media leveraging the latest media foundation models from Hedra and beyond. You will build novel interaction paradigms that power a tool used by millions of creators.
