Company

hirify.global is an AI video company building creative video-generation and editing products, including a video workspace, a rendering engine for AI agents, foundation models, and APIs for developers.

What you will do

• Ship features across video creation software, the video rendering engine, and the developer platform while identifying development-system bottlenecks.
• Build internal tools, agents, and workflows that improve engineering productivity.
• Rebuild CI/CD for significantly higher change volume using incremental builds, test selection, flaky-test quarantine, merge queues, and preview environments.
• Implement safe deployments with progressive rollouts, canary analysis, feature flags, and automatic rollback.
• Own coding-agent environments, including sandboxes, ephemeral stacks, verification tooling, AI code review, and policy checks.
• Integrate continuous penetration testing and security scanning across applications, APIs, infrastructure, dependencies, secrets, and software supply chains.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience building backend or full-stack software and shipping high-impact products or systems end-to-end.
• Experience with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, or security, with willingness to develop deeper specialization.
• Extensive current use of coding agents and informed opinions about their limitations.
• Strong product sense and security instincts, including considering how systems could be attacked during development.
• Comfort owning build, deployment, review, and security across layers and defining a roadmap without an existing playbook.
• Interest in staying close to product, shipping to production weekly, and using measurement to guide infrastructure improvements.
• Current hiring scope is senior or staff+ level, although the company does not use hierarchical titles or levels internally.

Nice to have

• Product engineering experience with build, deployment, or security problems.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or productivity tooling at a fast-growing startup.
• Offensive security experience such as penetration testing, red-teaming, bug bounties, or CTFs.
• Production experience shipping LLM agents or evaluations.
• Experience with merge queues, monorepo tooling, or test-impact analysis.
• Experience as a startup founder or early engineer.
