Luma AI

Compensation

Full Description

The Opportunity Luma AI is defining the future of autonomous creativity. We are moving beyond chat interfaces to build intelligent agents that act as creative partners, executing complex, multi-step workflows on behalf of the user. We are looking for a foundational engineer to architect the brain of our product platform, the reasoning engine, memory systems, and tool-use capabilities that power our agents. Where You Come In You will define the cognitive architecture of our platform. This role involves building the backend systems that allow AI agents to plan, execute, and evaluate complex creative tasks autonomously. You will operate with high agency, inventing new patterns for state management and orchestration that do not yet exist in standard frameworks. What You Will Build Cognitive Infrastructure: Architect the backend systems for agent memory, planning, and context management, enabling long-horizon interactions for creative projects. Autonomous Workflows: Design the orchestration layer that allows models to chain multiple tools, video generation, editing, and reasoning, into seamless, magical user experiences. Novel API Patterns: Invent new protocols for asynchronous, stateful communication between the client and our agentic backend. The Profile We Are Looking For Technical Leadership: You have demonstrated the ability to lead the technical definition of undefined product areas, taking abstract concepts like autonomous creativity and turning them into concrete engineering roadmaps. Orchestration Expertise: You have deep experience building complex, event-driven architectures and are familiar with the challenges of non-deterministic systems. Builder DNA: You prefer writing your own orchestration logic over relying on off-the-shelf abstractions, and you thrive in environments where you define the primitives.
