Job Description


About Krea

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

  • Experience with SvelteKit or similar frameworks, real-time UI via WebSockets
  • Comfortable designing APIs, database schemas, caching strategies
  • Familiar with infra and scale: Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis, observability stacks
  • Side projects or open‑source contributions in UI/infra are plus
  • Bonus: prior work on enterprise auth features, GPU workloads, ML or image/video pipelines
