# Design Engineer at Viggle AI

- **Company:** Viggle AI
- **Location:** Toronto, Canada
- **Compensation:** $80k–$150k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-06-20
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-07
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/viggle/3a826f9f-70be-43d3-8695-ecc3a50ffe00

## Job description

## ABOUT US:

Viggle builds the generative motion and character engines that let anyone become a director. Feed our AI a spark of an idea, and watch it move, act, and perform on cue, at a scale that reaches millions of people. We're hunting for a Design Engineer who wants to live at the delightful collision point between product design and the machinery behind it.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and prototype features across our motion, character, and scene tools
- Get hands-on with live-tuning parameters, learning how real-time adjustments affect the product interface, and designing mobile interactions (touch, gesture, and motion) that make that kind of control feel intuitive instead of overwhelming on a small screen
- Bounce between Figma and code like they're one continuous canvas: mock it up, build it, test it, polish it
- Partner with design and engineering to ship features start to finish, past the handoff and into the real thing
- Sweat the details most people breeze past: spacing, motion, copy, the tiny interaction beats that make something feel alive

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- An eye for craft that borders on obsessive
- A feel for live-tuning: real-time controls that let people shape a scene or character as it plays out, responding instantly to their input
- Fluency in Figma
- Comfort writing code and diving into a real codebase, mud on your boots and all
- A love of moving fast and working shoulder to shoulder with people in the same room
- A degree in design, HCI, computer science, or something adjacent, or equivalent experience

## HOW WE WORK

- We build systems, not buttons: we care about the underlying logic as much as any single screen
- We move at a fast pace, driven by momentum and curiosity
- We work in person, because hallway conversations spark better ideas than a chat thread ever could
- Half-formed ideas are welcome here, we like figuring things out together

## NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with 3D tools or pipelines
- Experience shipping consumer mobile apps at scale
- Passion for print, typography, and related craft

## BENEFITS:

- 🚀 Dynamic startup culture—accelerate your skills and career growth
- 📈 Attractive equity packages and highly competitive salary
- 🩺 Comprehensive dental coverage
- 🍽️ Complimentary lunch, dinner, snacks, and a vibrant, fun office environment

## About Viggle AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Viggle AI builds AI that understands and controls how people and objects move, enabling creators to generate, animate, and remix video with physics-aware precision.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Toronto, Canada
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Hang Chu (Co-Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Artificial intelligence / AI video generation
- **Target customers**: B2C creators (from independent TikTokers to Hollywood studios) and B2B studios seeking controllable video generation
- **Mission or purpose**: “We don’t generate videos. We give creators superpowers.” – built around the question of what a creator would do if physics weren’t a constraint.

## Products & Services
- **JST-1 Foundation Model**: The first video-3D foundation model with actual physics understanding, enabling controllability, character consistency, and real-time performance in AI video generation.
- **Motion Capture**: Transfer real human movement onto any character by recording oneself dancing, fighting, or walking – Viggle maps motion frame by frame.
- **Character Animation**: Bring any character to life from a single image using motion templates or natural language descriptions.
- **Video Remix**: Swap characters into existing footage and remix scenes with new subjects; the video adapts naturally.
- **P.I.N.O.C**: Extract skeletal animation from any video footage (no mocap suit needed) and export as FBX or GLB.
- **Fight Anyone 3D**: A fighting game powered by Viggle’s 3D generation model for custom characters, motions, and battles (PvE, PvP, friend fights).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – **$19.3M** (Series A, August 2024)
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Andreessen Horowitz (lead investor in Series A)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 40 million creators using Viggle
  - Headcount grew 45.8% year-over-year (27 employees as of mid-2026)
  - 5 active job postings (monthly posting trend +25%)
  - Expanding operations across 7 countries (Canada, United States, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Vietnam, China, Indonesia)

## Competitive Advantages
- **JST-1 foundation model** – the only video-3D model with built-in physics understanding, giving unmatched controllability and character consistency.
- **First-mover in physics-aware AI video** – real‑time performance that competitors struggle to match.
- **Strong creator community** – 40M users provide a rich feedback loop and viral growth engine.

## Strategic Focus
- Accelerate product development of the AI-powered animation platform
- Continue refining JST‑1 for greater controllability and realism
- Expand use cases from viral memes to professional studio workflows (Hollywood, gaming, advertising)

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Dynamic startup environment that values learning fast, solid engineering fundamentals, and adaptability. Engineers are not siloed by role labels – full-stack contribution expected.
- **Work policy**: Likely office-first (complimentary lunch, dinner, snacks in a vibrant Toronto office).
- **Benefits**:
  - Highly competitive salary and attractive equity packages
  - 100% company-paid dental coverage
  - Free meals (lunch, dinner, snacks)
  - Accelerated skill growth and career progression in a fast-moving AI team
- **Engineering ethos**: “Learning fast is an engineer’s superpower.” Engineers build complex systems independently while collaborating closely with product and design.
