Job description

Why work at Higgsfield AI? Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $1B in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands. We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn't just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like.

Who we are looking for

Everyone at Higgsfield is an A-player. We’re looking for teammates who bring:

  • A strong product sense and an understanding of how interface decisions affect conversion, retention and revenue.
  • The ability to design clear user states and in-product communication, not just build screens.
  • Broad context over narrow specialization: comfort working across product verticals and monetization mechanics.
  • Resilience and focus in a high-intensity startup environment, where priorities shift fast and the schedule isn’t always predictable.

What you will work on

  • Build the revenue-critical parts of Higgsfield products: paywalls, pricing pages, checkout and subscription flows used by millions of people.
  • Develop onboarding, upsell and in-product communication that drive conversion and retention.
  • Design and implement complex UI state logic across plans, limits, trials and payment states, where small mistakes are costly.
  • Run A/B tests and PLG experiments quickly, and work closely with analysts to turn data into product decisions.
  • Keep the interface fast and responsive, because every millisecond in the purchase flow affects conversion.
  • Ensure product quality through unit, integration and end-to-end tests for key payment and onboarding scenarios.

Your must haves

  • Experience building complex software and teaming up with others to get it done.
  • Strong communication, collaboration and commitment to completing projects.
  • Experience with payment integrations, checkout or subscription flows.
  • Experience with A/B testing, feature flags and product analytics.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD, bundlers, profiling and performance optimization.
  • Ability to get up to speed on new context quickly and take full ownership of a task.
  • Willingness to work in a fast-paced startup environment.

The deal

  • Competitive salary in USD + stock options.
  • On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere)
  • Full-time position with high growth potential.

Why work at Higgsfield

  • Culture: "Built by creators, shaped by community" – a blend of ML engineers and award-winning filmmakers working in a tight feedback loop.
  • Growth Trajectory: Unicorn status with 13% monthly headcount growth; positioned as a "next decacorn" by the company.
  • Hiring Speed: Full process from first conversation to offer takes 1–2 weeks careers.higgsfield.kz
  • Global Team: Employees in 35 countries; office hubs in San Francisco and Almaty (Kazakhstan). Remote/hybrid policy not explicitly stated, but the distributed nature suggests flexibility.
  • Notable Perks: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI video models, direct impact on a platform used by 25M creators, and the chance to join a unicorn in its early scaling phase.
  • Engineering Focus: Strong emphasis on ML, backend engineering, and data annotation; top engineers from Central Asia are a key talent pool.
