About Vinci

Vinci is a GenAI video platform and production service. Brands use us for brand films, product shoots, and UGC-style campaigns that need to move fast without looking generic.

We sit between AI, productivity tools, and visual storytelling. Right now we are in build mode: hard problems, quick decisions, work that shows up in the product immediately.

What we look for

Ownership

  • You will be one of the first engineers. Scope, decide, ship.
  • Initiative beats waiting for a perfect brief.

Product thinking

  • Code is how we solve user and business problems, not a separate track.
  • You help shape the product, not only implement tickets.

Builder mindset

  • Smart trade-offs between speed and scale.
  • Clean enough to live with later. Comfortable with early ambiguity.

Engineering culture

Move fast, thoughtfully

  • Ship value soon. Manage debt on purpose, not by accident.

Collaboration

  • Small team. Your voice matters. Work with founders and product leads directly.

Accountability

  • No micromanagement. Freedom to decide, and you own the impact.

What you will work on

  • Core platform modules that carry the product
  • Systems that stay fast as usage grows
  • AI integrations that cut real work out of creative workflows
  • Feature iteration with product from live user feedback

Stack today

  • Backend: Node.js, Python (FastAPI)
  • Frontend: React, Next.js
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Cloud: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions
  • AI/ML: current video models, PyTorch, LLM integrations

What we offer

  • Meaningful equity
  • Room to shape product and technical direction
  • Path into leadership as we grow
  • Work that shows up in what customers see

Interview process

Three rounds: technical deep dive; product thinking and system design; culture, ownership, and vision alignment.

We hire for technical strength plus founder instincts: business sense, product judgment, and the ability to move a roadmap in a lean team.
