I thought sharpening my craft in software for a decade would help; but, the more I read ancient scriptures, the more sense they started making -- and this is as someone who's been mostly agnostic.

Seeing people working on nostalgic apps, wealth-pursuing prompt management tools, or ideological open-source alternatives. I've worked myself in many types of software of similar kinds, and I've found.. not much at the other side of the pursuit.

Some call it “הֶבֶל”; “तृष्णा”; or, “تَكَاثَرَ”...

Still working on it.

I'm the cofounder of Krea (https://www.krea.ai/). We build creative tools and large-scale infrastructure for multimedia teams. Users range from hobbyists to world-renowned creatives: architects behind the World Trade Center or creative teams at Apple.

We treat research, engineering, and creativity as first-class citizens; we want engineers for our research, product, and supercomputing teams.

What we value (staff writings):

- AGI: https://www.matthewnewton.com/blog/arc-challenge-diffusion

- Diffusion research: https://re-n-y.github.io/devlog/rambling/steering/

- Pragmatic LLM reflections: https://maxemitchell.com/writings/i-read-all-of-cloudflares-...

- Low-level computing: https://gab-menezes.github.io/2025/01/13/using-the-most-unhi...

- Open-sourcing our research: https://www.krea.ai/blog/flux-krea-open-source-release

Some of our projects:

- Large-scale multimodal model training (e.g. distributed training, 1000+ k8s GPU clusters, petabytes of data pipelines, ...)

- WebGL2/WebGPU for node-based tools (SideFX Houdini) & CRDTs/OTs for collaboration

- Cross-service metrics, tracing, and observability

- LLM-driven JS bundle optimization and testing

Just say GenAI-free; organic software (written by organic agents as opposed to silicon-based ones); or, literally anything that actually means what you wrote.

You can also apply via https://krea.ai/careers but that's no fun.

There is something quite ironic about old hardware becoming increasingly useful due to current developments in AI research. I wonder about the repercussions of this.

krea does AI research & builds AI tools for image generation, video generation, node-based workflows, LoRA training, and more. Small, mostly in-person team with a view of Alcatraz from the office window. Our users range from hobbyists all the way to professional designers at Apple or architects at firms behind The World Trade Center or Burj Khalifa.

We're looking for senior backend engineers. You'd work across our SvelteKit app (Postgres, Redis, Docker, ClickHouse), Python ML inference on GPU clusters, and k8s clusters across multiple cloud and GPU providers.

Some recent projects:

- building canary deploys with cookie-sticky traffic splitting

- implementing durable execution for long-running workflows

- designing our public API with OpenAPI docs auto-generated from Zod schemas

- implementing enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and permissions

- optimizing ML inference for our hosted image generation models

We care way more about first-principles and core engineering skills rather than specific shenanigans around programming languages or particular tooling—knowing a lot about old UNIX principles is a plus though.

You should be comfortable owning things end-to-end. Experience with GPU infra is a plus. Many of us have some kind of creative background, it helps when building tools for creatives but is not a requirement by any means.

To apply, email d+hn@krea.ai (use the +hn suffix to make sure your email is prioritized!)
