## Job description

Prodia provides the fastest image and video generation in the world via it's API. Engineers at Prodia build the systems that make it fast, reliable, and easy for developers to use.

This is a highly practical role: shipping models, features, and improvements that show up directly in latency, quality, and uptime.

Sample projects include…

- Optimising, testing, and integrating frontier image/video models (research -> production)
- Building the best APIs for developers: clean ergonomics, great docs, predictable behaviour
- Designing evals + observability: ranking outputs and understanding quality changes
- Improving our distributed job scheduling (throughput, latency, fairness, cost)
- Reading the latest papers to gather methods for future improvements
- Using the newest AI/agentic tooling to speed up debugging, experimentation, and iteration

You might be a fit if…

- You’re an excellent programmer and love shipping quickly
- You're a first principles thinker who is unfazed by hard problems
- You're looking to learn more about machine learning at a rapid pace
- No specific degree or background required — show us what you’ve built and how you think

Bonus points for…

- Inference/GPU performance work, distributed systems, or high-scale APIs
- Building eval/ranking pipelines or human-in-the-loop review systems
- Strong history of open-source contributions

Benefits and perks:

- 100% remote work from anywhere in the world. No location-based adjustment to your salary
- Autonomous work. We work collaboratively on projects, but you set your own pace
- Health, Vision and Dental benefits for US employees. Prodia covers 100% of the cost
- Generous tech allowance for any office setup you need
- Quarterly run off-sites

Compensation range: We believe in hiring and retaining the best talent, which is why we offer 75th percentile of market rates (e.g. $150-300k+) and receive generous equity packages.

## About Prodia

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Prodia provides a developer-first API for fast, cost-effective AI image and video generation and editing, handling GPU infrastructure so teams can ship generative media features in minutes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; $15.5M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Shawn Wilkinson (Founder & CEO), Mikhail Avady (Cofounder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Technology, Information and Internet – AI infrastructure for generative media.
- **Target customers**: B2B – product teams, engineering teams, and enterprises that need to integrate real-time image/video generation into their applications.
- **Mission**: “Building the infrastructure layer for real-time generative media” – turning complex AI components into streamlined, production-ready workflows.

## Products & Services
- **[Prodia API](https://prodia.com/)**: A single API that gives access to the best open-source models (e.g., FLUX.1 schnell, FLUX.2 klein) for text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, background removal, and video generation. Optimized for ultra-low latency (190ms outputs) and cost efficiency, with no GPU provisioning or model management required.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $15.5M (Seed round: $15M in July 2024, plus a $500K seed in May 2022).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Guillermo Rauch (Vercel CEO), Charles Songhurst (Meta Board), Balaji Srinivasan (Coinbase CTO), Amit Vasudev (Clearbit founder), Matthew Rozsak (Bloq chairman). Customers include Pixlr and DeepAI.
- **Growth Signals**: Ranked #1 on Artificial Analysis for speed; monthly website traffic grew 34.9% month-over-month and 76.4% year-over-year; powers “the largest media generators” according to the company.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Speed**: Fastest inference in the world at 190ms for image generation, significantly outperforming competitors (competitors average 1,129ms+).
- **Developer experience**: Clean, single-endpoint API; no GPU setup or model juggling; “first test to production deploy in under 10 minutes.”
- **Cost efficiency**: Engineered end-to-end for ultra-low latency and scalable cost, delivering speed and quality without tradeoffs.
- **Model curation**: Pre-selects and chains the best open-source models, so customers don’t need to test and connect them manually.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue to scale the API platform to support millions of creative workflows and real-time personalization.
- Expand video generation capabilities and maintain leadership in inference speed and cost.
- Grow the team (currently 5 employees) to accelerate product development and go-to-market.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Fast systems, clean abstractions, building tools that power millions of creative workflows” – a small, focused engineering team where you can have outsized impact on a product used by major media platforms.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Atlanta headquarters with remote options (Head of Growth & Marketing role listed as Atlanta/Remote).
- **Perks & Engineering Culture**: Early-stage environment (Seed-funded, 5 people) with a developer-first ethos; opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI infrastructure without the overhead of managing GPUs or models.
- **Team**: Cofounders with deep AI and startup experience (Shawn Wilkinson previously founded Storj); tight-knit team distributed across the US and UK.
