About the role

We are looking for a full-stack and a ML engineer to join us as the first employees of Can of Soup. We have no credentialist requirements except that you are technically excellent, an island of self-driven individualism, and – most importantly – obsessed with creating a social product to impact millions of people around the world.

Can of Soup

Can of Soup is a social app to create AI photos of you and your friends in imaginary situations. For example, you can use the app to share photos of you, your best friend, and Taylor Swift chugging seemingly ranch on the moon. We are backed by Y Combinator and other top investors. While still in private beta, over 1M photos are created each month on the app.

Values

We are ideological about what we build. Here’s what we believe in:

Accelerate culture

Can of Soup’s mission is to make cultural creation go brrr. So we hire people who want to empower individuals to create and communicate.

Great art is commercial

We believe in making something pop. Every day, we think about how to create a medium that is fun for all people, not only technologists and critics.

Build

We believe in building great products fast. Almost all questions are empirical and answerable through shipping fast. We occasionally break eggs to build fast, but we never compromise on making the output great.

Embrace the maladjusted

Can of Soup is a platform for the imagination. Soupers are often quirky – even weird. We love that. We are embracing this in our work culture – as well as in our product philosophy.

Details

Our stack:

  • React Native, GraphQL, MySQL. Typescript, of course.
  • JAX/Python for ML infrastructure

We’re an early stage startup, so we work a lot. We don’t want to hide the reality to prospective candidates: raw hours actually make a big difference in the impact we can make.
