Back End Developer

Job Description

About Chaotix AI At Chaotix AI, we’re reinventing how the next generation creates and interacts with digital content. Imagine a world where a teenager’s fleeting thought can become an interactive, playable experience in seconds—where TikTok meets real-time, AI-powered game engines. That’s the world we’re building. We’re an early-stage, high-velocity team on a mission to make creativity feel like magic. Our platform lets users generate, remix, and share interactive experiences with the ease of sending a message—redefining internet creativity for Gen Z and beyond. The Opportunity We’re looking for a founding Django developer to help architect and scale the backbone of Chaotix AI. This is a hands-on, high-agency role at the edge of creativity and real-time AI. You’ll be one of the first engineers on the team—designing core infrastructure, shaping product direction, and building systems that power a radically new interface for internet-native creation. If you thrive in zero-to-one environments, crave ownership, and want to help define a new creative medium—this is your playground.
