We’re creating a new category of AI-native creative tooling: a collaborative workspace where humans and agents generate, edit, and orchestrate images, videos, and audio together, allowing users to steer and have full creative control of their workflows. Instead of jumping between fragmented tools, prompts, and workflows, Melius gives artists, creators, and teams an entire ecosystem to direct AI end-to-end. Our platform combines real-time collaborative infrastructure, multimodal AI models, and agentic workflows to help brands, studios, and creative teams store, create, and polish high-quality creative output at a scale never seen before. We’re based in New York City, backed by top-tier investors, and focused on building one of the defining creative software companies of the AI era. ## THE ROLE Generative models and AI agents are improving fast, but most creative teams lack the fluency to achieve what's possible with them. The gap between vision and output comes down to knowing which model to reach for, how to prompt it, and how to chain the steps into a workflow. Our Creative Engineers are the ones who show customers how they can reach their ambitions. This is a cross-functional role spanning customer success, marketing, and product. You'll be the right-hand creative for some of the best brands and agencies in the world: leading weekly workshops, challenging teams to sharpen their work, and teaching them how to get the most out of generative AI. Internally, you'll build product showcases that set the bar for what great looks like, drive the education material customers learn from, and translate user feedback into product direction. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO - Be the creative partner customers reach for, and run through walls to help them make their best work. - Lead weekly workshops with enterprise creative teams, elevating their output and teaching them to get more out of Melius and the models. - Craft demo canvases and workflows that capture the imagination of what Melius can do. - Push frontier models to their limits and stay ahead of where generative tooling is going, so our customers don't have to. - Carry your learnings back to product and engineering, and help shape the future of the Melius platform. - Author the guides and walkthroughs customers rely on. ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Customer obsession. Their goal becomes your goal, and you stay in the room until the outcome lands exactly as they envisioned. - Hands-on fluency with generative AI. You already experiment with the models for fun or for work, track where the tools are headed (whether by building yourself or following the right accounts), and pick up new techniques fast. - Attention to detail and taste. A discerning eye for what's production-ready versus almost, and a strong POV on what gets it across the line. - A creative background: film/TV, animation, design, fashion, motion, or adjacent. You've spent time in tools like Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Figma, or Blender, so you know the traditional workflows, craft, and language firsthand. - A clear communicator and natural teacher, at home being the face of Melius in a room of creatives. - Proactive and conscientious, with a bias toward action and a read on what matters when. ## COMP / BENEFITS - Competitive salary + meaningful equity ownership - Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Wellness benefit (gym, massages, etc.) - All meals covered - Unlimited PTO ## About Melius ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Melius is a visual canvas and platform where creative professionals and AI agents collaborate to generate, iterate, and compose images, video, audio, and text. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: New York, United States - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Arnav Ramu (Co-Founder & CEO), Young Kim (Co-Founder), Joowon Kim (Co-Founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Creative Software, AI Agents, Media & Entertainment - **Target customers**: Creative professionals (marketers, designers, filmmakers, content creators), agencies, e-commerce teams, and GTM/growth teams. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "The creative canvas where humans and agents create together." The company aims to let users act as creative directors while AI agents handle execution, eliminating the need for prompt engineering. ## Products & Services - **Melius Canvas**: An infinite, multiplayer canvas where users arrange "nodes" (text, image, video, file, group) and wire them together with "edges" to compose multi-step generative workflows. Every prompt is exposed, and every output is editable. - **Agent "Mel"**: A built-in AI agent that users brief in natural language. Mel handles model selection, prompt writing, and workflow assembly across multiple models. - **Supported Models**: Integrates with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Flux, Seedream, Nano Banana, Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, and more. - **Magic Resize**: A feature to take one winning asset and automatically reformat it for every platform. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: Revenue-generating (founders have stated "we have revenue" on LinkedIn); currently in Seed stage per F4 Fund. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by F4 Fund (a seed-stage venture firm focused on media & entertainment). Partnering with Contra for a $10,000 challenge. - **Growth Signals**: Very early stage with massive momentum. LinkedIn shows a 42.9% monthly headcount growth (4 employees as of mid-2026). Website traffic grew +1,827.3% month-over-month. Actively hiring founding engineers and founding GTM roles. ## Competitive Advantages - **Agent-First Canvas**: Unlike single-model tools, Melius provides a tunable, multimodal node-based canvas where users can inject their taste at any step in the workflow. - **Multiplayer & Agent Collaboration**: Built for real-time collaboration between humans and AI agents, not just human teams. - **Model Agnosticism**: Access to all major image, video, audio, and language models from one interface, letting users pick the best tool for each task without switching platforms. - **No Prompt Engineering**: The "Mel" agent abstracts away prompt engineering, letting users focus on creative direction. ## Strategic Focus - **Product Velocity**: Rapidly shipping new features and model integrations (e.g., GPT Image 2, Happy Horse 1.0, Veo 3.1, Magic Resize). - **Community & Talent**: Running challenges (e.g., Contra partnership) to attract creative developers and build a community. Aggressively hiring to scale the small team. - **Vertical Expansion**: Targeting specific use cases (e-commerce product shots, agency concept work, GTM campaign creative) while staying platform-agnostic. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: A high-agency, fast-shipping startup environment. The team is tiny (4 people) but growing, meaning early employees will have outsized impact on product and culture. - **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Based in New York, NY. Hiring for NYC-based roles (founding engineers, founding GTM). - **Notable Perks**: Founders are offering a $25,000 referral bonus for new hires. The company has revenue and ships "incredibly quickly." Working directly with the co-founders (ex-Scale AI, ex-Nike, ex-Google, ex-Snowflake talent pool). - **Engineering Culture**: Building a creative canvas that integrates with cutting-edge AI models. The tech stack includes Brex and Ramp. Ideal for engineers who love creative tools, AI, and fast iteration. ## Sources 1. [melius.com](https://melius.com/) 2.
