Ideogram’s mission is to make world-class design accessible to everyone, multiplying human creativity. We build proprietary generative media models and AI native creative workflows, tackling unsolved challenges in graphic design. Our team includes builders with a track record of technology breakthroughs including early research in Diffusion Models, Google’s Imagen, and Imagen Video. We care about design, taste, and craft as much as research and engineering – shipping experiences that creatives actually love.

We’ve raised nearly $100M, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Index Ventures. Headquartered in Toronto with a growing team in NYC, we're scaling fast, aiming to triple over the next year. We're a flat team with a culture of high ownership, collaboration, and mentorship.

As a Software Engineer at Ideogram, you'll build the products that put generative AI directly into the hands of creators, and build the infrastructure that will allow us to accelerate model development. You'll work across the entire stack, from crafting delightful user experiences to optimizing backend systems that serve millions, with a relentless focus on shipping features that users love. We're looking for someone who combines product instinct with strong technical ownership, user empathy, and the ability to move fast in an evolving AI landscape.
