We evaluate candidates based on core/math&cs knowledge (e.g. deep grasp of I/O, understanding of web browsers' render pipelines, trade-offs and fastidiousness about software extensibility and abstractions) more than surface-level one (e.g. knows vue/react/express, postgresql, etc.); we have sent 2 offers and both candidates had ~0 experience with our technology stack and it has been the same for current employees. But, if you are interested in our stack, we use Svelte for the frontend, manage our own k8s cluster for both CPU-based containers or GPU ones, and use PostgreSQL for our database. We are still exploring different technologies regarding scaling such as horizontally scalable key-val stores.
A company of 6 engineers making a new type of creative tool. Older creative tools wrapped computer graphics advances into a performant controllable user interface (e.g. brightness, hue, saturation, etc.) and we think modern tools should do the same for the latest AI research (e.g. diffusion models).
