The Opportunity
At Luma AI, we believe multimodality is critical for intelligence. We are a full-stack lab, training foundational models and building the products that utilize them. We offer the rare opportunity to work with the resources of a massive corporation while maintaining the speed and impact of an elite engineering team.
Where You Come In
You will build the interface between our frontier models and the professional creative world. Your work will define how the world's top media and entertainment companies interact with Luma’s intelligence. This involves translating complex model capabilities into elegant, secure, and scalable API products.
What You Will Build
- The Intelligence Interface: Design and ship the high-traffic REST APIs that power our enterprise integrations, ensuring low latency and high availability.
- Seamless Integration: Build the backend logic for smooth onboarding, authentication, and team collaboration, removing friction for large-scale deployments.
- Collaborative Systems: Develop the backend structures that allow creative teams to share contexts, credits, and assets securely across their organizations.
The Profile We Are Looking For
- Product-Minded Engineering: You care deeply about the API as a product. You design endpoints that are intuitive and provide clear documentation.
- Python Proficiency: You have strong professional experience building complex backends in Python.
- Experience at Scale: You have worked on systems that handle significant traffic or complex data models, ideally within a fast-growing environment.
- Auth & Identity: You have hands-on experience implementing standard authentication protocols (OAuth, SSO, JWT) and understand the nuances of secure system design.
