Senior Full Stack Engineer

Department: EPD (Engineering, Product, Design)

Location: San Francisco

Employment Type: FullTime

Agency Notice: We are not currently working with recruiting agencies for this role. Please do not contact Vizcom employees regarding this position. Any resumes submitted without a prior agreement will be considered unsolicited.

Why Vizcom

Vizcom is the AI-powered design platform trusted by teams at GM, Nike, Ford, and 200+ other companies to turn sketches into photorealistic renders, 3D models, and videos. We believe AI should augment human creativity, not replace it — our sketch-first approach keeps designers in control while accelerating iteration from 5 ideas to 500 in a single session. We're a team of ~50 (and growing!), shipping multiple times daily, and building the tool that's becoming the creative standard for professional industrial design.

The Role

You'll work across Vizcom's entire stack — from typescript-based design tools to Postgres data models to AI inference pipelines — to ship complete features that designers use daily. Where our frontend and backend specialists go deep, you go wide: you're the engineer who can trace a bug from a React component through a GraphQL query into a Postgres function, fix it, and ship it before lunch.

This role is ideal for someone who's energized by variety and ownership. In a given week you might build a new canvas interaction in React Flow, optimize a PostGraphile query, add a BullMQ job for a new AI workflow, and review a teammate's migration. We believe AI should augment human creativity, not replace it — you'll build the features that make that philosophy tangible across the entire product.

What You’ll Do

• Ship complete features: Own features from React component to Postgres schema — no handoffs, no waiting

• Build product UI: Craft interactions in React, TypeScript, and React Flow that feel fast and precise

• Develop APIs and data models: Write Postgres migrations, PostGraphile mutations, and RLS policies for multi-tenant isolation

• Integrate AI workflows: Connect frontend experiences to GPU inference pipelines via BullMQ and external AI services

• Optimize across the stack: Profile slow paths end-to-end — React renders, GraphQL resolution, query plans

• Collaborate broadly: Work with frontend specialists, graphics engineers, designers, and product to ship cohesive experiences

• Strengthen reliability: Instrument features with observability, write tests, and participate in on-call

The Problems You’ll Tackle

• End-to-end latency: a feature feels slow — is it React re-renders, GraphQL over-fetching, a missing index, or cold GPU inference? You figure it out

• Data modeling for new product surfaces: Teams features, enterprise workspaces, template systems — each needs schema design, RLS policies, and UI

• AI integration UX: making inference results (renders, 3D models, video) stream into the canvas with the right loading states and error handling

• Realtime collaboration: WebSocket events, optimistic updates, cache invalidation across URQL + graphcache

• Bridging frontend ↔ backend boundaries when features don't fit neatly into one layer

Our Stack (today)

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, styled-components, Zustand, React Three Fiber

• Data Layer: URQL + graphcache (GraphQL client), PostGraphile (schema-driven GraphQL from Postgres)

• Backend: PostgreSQL (RLS, migrations, functions), PgTyped, Redis, BullMQ

• AI Pipeline: Modal.com (GPU inference), ComfyUI, external services (FAL.ai, Tripo, Rodin)

• Infra: GitHub Actions, Pulumi, Datadog, Sentry

• Security: WorkOS (SSO/SAML), SOC 2 practices

Experience with every item is not required. What matters is that you are excited to shape it.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years shipping production software across frontend and backend

• Strong React and TypeScript skills — you can build complex, performant UIs

• Solid Postgres fundamentals: schema design, query optimization, migrations

• Experience with GraphQL (bonus: PostGraphile, Hasura, or other schema-driven patterns)

• Comfort navigating unfamiliar code and systems — you debug across layers, not just within them

• Experience in startup environments where you owned features end-to-end
