## Job description

At [Higgsfield AI](https://higgsfield.ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com), we’re building creative tools for the next generation of storytelling. We believe AI will fundamentally change how films, videos, images, and interactive experiences are created — not by replacing creativity, but by giving creators entirely new creative leverage. Our products help people generate cinematic visuals, explore impossible ideas, and build content workflows that previously required entire teams. We’re a fast-moving, product-obsessed team operating at the intersection of AI, design, and engineering. We prototype aggressively, ship fast, and care deeply about craft.

## About the Role

We’re looking for a new-generation AI builder — someone between a software engineer, prompt engineer, automation hacker, and product innovator. This is not a traditional SWE role. You’ll work on AI-native products, internal agents, automations, and experimental workflows powered by the latest frontier models, open-source tooling, MCP ecosystems, and multimodal systems. You should be the kind of person who constantly explores what’s happening in AI:

- new agent frameworks
- open-source tooling
- AI video & creative workflows
- MCP servers
- coding agents
- automation stacks
- multimodal systems
- new product patterns emerging every week

You don’t just follow trends — you prototype them.

Who We’re Looking For You might be a fit if you:

- Are a hustler who ships fast and experiments constantly
- Have strong intuition for building new AI-native products and workflows
- Stay deeply plugged into the AI ecosystem and emerging tooling
- Understand how modern AI agents actually work under the hood
- Can automate things quickly and creatively
- Think in systems and workflows, not just prompts
- Have strong product taste and curiosity
- Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Learn new tools obsessively fast

Must-Have Skills

- Experience with JavaScript or Python (ideally both)
- Comfortable building prototypes, automations, and internal tools
- Understanding of:
- LLMs
- tokens/context windows
- APIs & CLI tooling
- MCP ecosystems
- agent frameworks
- tool use & orchestration
- RAG / retrieval concepts
- Experience using modern AI coding workflows and AI-native tooling
- Ability to quickly turn ideas into working demos or systems

Big Plus

- Experience with ML or training/inference infrastructure
- Experience with multimodal or video-generation tooling
- Familiarity with open-source AI ecosystems
- Experience building agentic systems or autonomous workflows
- Strong vibe-coding energy

## What You’ll Work On

- Build AI-native internal and external products
- Prototype new agentic workflows and automation systems
- Explore frontier AI tooling and identify new product opportunities
- Experiment with multimodal generation systems
- Build automations across engineering, creative, and operational workflows
- Work closely with product, infra, and research teams
- Help the company stay ahead of where the AI market is going

The deal

- Top-of-market compensation in USD.
- Small team, high autonomy, and outsized impact.
- On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere).
