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 We’re looking for a founding growth hire to help scale Melius from early traction into a category-defining company. This is a highly cross-functional role spanning growth, distribution, product, experimentation, and go-to-market systems. You’ll work directly with the founders to build and scale the growth engine behind Melius — from top-of-funnel acquisition and lifecycle marketing to growth loops, outbound systems, partnerships, and GTM experimentation. We’re looking for someone who moves quickly, thinks scientifically about growth, and is excited to operate across both strategy and execution. ## What You'll Do - Own and scale top-of-funnel growth across organic, paid, outbound, partnerships, creator ecosystems, and community channels. - Design and run rapid growth experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization. - Build and optimize growth systems, analytics, attribution, and reporting infrastructure. - Work closely with product and engineering to improve onboarding, activation, and product-led growth loops. - Develop creative GTM strategies around launches, viral moments, creators, and AI-native distribution channels. - Leverage automation, AI tooling, and GTM engineering tactics to scale outreach, workflows, and experimentation velocity. - Analyze user behavior and funnel performance to identify growth opportunities and bottlenecks. - Help shape the broader go-to-market strategy as one of the earliest business hires at Melius. ## What We're Looking For - Experience helping take a startup or product from 0 → 1 at a high-growth company or early-stage startup. - Strong exposure across multiple growth functions: acquisition, lifecycle, partnerships, outbound, growth product, and analytics. - Highly experimental and deeply analytical approach to growth and GTM. - Strong understanding of modern growth tooling, automation, and AI-native workflows. - Comfortable operating in ambiguity and moving quickly with high ownership. - Strong product instincts and ability to collaborate closely with engineering and design teams. - Exposure to GTM engineering tactics, growth automation, scraping/enrichment workflows, or programmatic distribution is a major plus. - Excited about AI, creativity, startups, and building category-defining products. - Comfortable working in-person from our NYC office 5 days a week. 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.
