Founding Full Stack Engineer

The Role:

We're looking for a full stack engineer who can build and scale fast. Our stack is VueJS, Electron, and Python/Go on the backend, but we care way more about your ability to learn and ship than whether you've used these exact tools before.
You are a good fit if this describes you:
You're the type who builds entire systems from frontend to backend without breaking a sweat
You learn new technologies rapidly because you're excited by solving hard problems
You've scaled systems before and know the tradeoffs that matter
You think most software moves too slowly and could be way better
You're comfortable diving into unfamiliar code and making it work
What you'll do:
Build and scale core product and infrastructure across our entire stack
Ship features that directly impact millions of ComfyUI users
Work closely with our core team to architect new systems
Jump between frontend, backend, and everything in between
Help shape our technical direction as we grow
Nice to have:
You have excelled at a fast pacing high growth tech startup before or are extremely excited towards being in one.
If you don't know every piece of our stack, that's fine - we care about your ability to learn fast and ship quality code. We're outpacing the industry by learning what we need to solve problems, not by sticking to what we already know.

What is ComfyUI?

ComfyUI, in the simplest form, is a node-based engine that enables users to generate visual content using AI. It is the most popular and powerful visual AI framework with more than 60k Github stars, thousands of 3rd party extensions and millions of users.
But this is not where it stops,
ComfyUI is and will continue to be a tool for artists of the future: a human equipped with AI who can be an order of magnitude more productive than before.
ComfyUI will continue evolve to further to democratize AIs for creatives, hobbyists, storytellers, studios, developers, and enterprises.
It empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter and those who do to be a maestro.
It will become an Operating System for visual Gen AI.
It will unlock a world where no stories is left untold

About Us

We are a small, intense, and well-funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here.
Our organization is flat and there is no hierarchy, only categories: devv, artz, prod, oprt, etc (and no, there is no one here with the title of Member of Technical Staff, it’s long and silly for a job title).
The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top-tier talent, talk to us at hiring@comfy.org. Your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
Check out our Github and blog for what we’ve been working on. Our investors include Pace Capital, Chemistry, Abstract Venture, and Guillermo Rauch.
