Make graphics like a Pro without being one
Software Engineer — Data engineering
About the role
At Playground, we make it easy to create or edit graphics like a pro without being one.
Note: We are only accepting candidates from the U.S. or Canada at this time
Over the next 10 years we plan to build a Large Vision Model that can exceed current human capability. It should accomplish challenging tasks ranging from instructing an AI to make subtle changes to images, accelerating a manufacturing process, and assisting with autonomy of robots. We plan to start by accomplishing difficult tasks with images first.
Our mission is to push the boundaries of what computers can do with vision.
If you join us, you’ll be an early team member in helping shape:
- Our future company culture
- Our engineering practices
- People that we hire
- The direction & focus of our products
We need help filtering, deduping, and managing new kinds of data we use for training our models. You will work closely with our research team and report directly to the CEO/Founder.
Engineers on the team today:
- Work with Python primarily
- Are supportive—especially when teammates are faced with new challenges
- Are left to autonomously figure out the solutions to their challenges
- Value clear, frequent communication (we do a lot of reading & writing)
- Are naturally curious and willing to take a step to learn something they don’t have experience in
- Feel a great sense of accountability to each other
Skills & Experience
- 2+ years of working full-time as a software engineer
- Understanding of modern web technologies

Over the next 10 years, we plan to create a powerful AI render pipeline that allows us to edit, create, and understand pixels to accomplish challenging tasks ranging from instructing an AI to make subtle changes to images, creating entire 3D environments, and understanding context of a scene in a video. We plan to start by accomplishing difficult tasks with images first.
Our mission is to awaken the imagination within each of us.
