Engineering Culture

We're a small and committed technical team that oversees engineering, research, design, product, and operation. Everyone on the team is willing to do whatever necessary to create a delightful product for our users. We believe that a small dedicated team with a collaborative culture can move faster and build better and more coherent products than large hierarchical organizations.

As a member of our technical team, you’ll own projects end-to-end, directly engaging with our customers. From designing a machine learning system to developing the product and UX design, you will have a direct impact. At Ideogram, we provide mentorship and support to help our employees grow with the company and achieve their ambitious career goals.
