About the job

Agency Notice: We are not currently partnering with recruitment agencies for this position. Please refrain from contacting Vizcom employees regarding this role. Any resumes submitted without prior agreement will be deemed unsolicited.

Why Join Vizcom?

At Vizcom, our mission is to revolutionize design by simplifying the journey from concept to realization, ensuring that impactful ideas are transformed into tangible products. We are well-funded, with a Series B funding of $51 million to date, and we are experiencing double-digit growth month over month. Our core engineering team in San Francisco is expanding, focusing on a wide range of challenges including real-time collaboration, GPU inference at scale, and utilizing a modern TypeScript stack to serve enterprise needs.

Your Role

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will take full ownership of essential product domains, guiding the technical strategy from architecture to deployment. Your responsibilities will include conducting design reviews, delivering prototypes that advance our products, and establishing practical engineering standards that harmonize speed and quality. In addition to your own contributions, you will mentor colleagues to become future technical leaders, fostering a top-tier engineering culture as Vizcom scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop the architectural roadmap to ensure Vizcom remains reliable, scalable, and enjoyable for development as usage and data evolve.

  • Engage hands-on by diving into code for key functionalities, rapid prototypes, and complex debugging (including latency, memory issues, race conditions, and WebGL/WASM peculiarities).

  • Implement quality assurance measures that can scale: testing strategies, code review processes, performance budgets, and observability standards.

  • Mentor and cultivate talent: guide senior engineers to evolve into tech leads, document clear design practices, and exemplify effective decision-making.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally: articulate engineering trade-offs to Product, Design, and Go-To-Market teams; act as the CTO's representative when necessary.

First 90 Days Goals

  • Enhance reliability and performance: establish an observability-driven strategy for our top 5 critical workflows; aim to reduce p95 for at least one user-visible flow by approximately 30% through targeted optimizations (query planning, caching, batching, and GPU/CPU boundaries).

  • Architectural Contributions: Draft a significant RFC (e.g., real-time document models, rendering pipeline demarcations, or background job architecture) and lead it to implementation.

  • Team Development: Mentor two engineers, ensuring measurable progress in their scope, design quality, or other key performance metrics.

About Vizcom

Vizcom is at the forefront of design technology, dedicated to transforming the way ideas are brought to life. With substantial funding and rapid growth, we are committed to innovation and excellence in engineering, creating an environment that nurtures talent and promotes collaboration.
