Backend Software Engineer AI Music Video Platform

Neural Frames is a leading AI music video generator turning any song into a fully produced music video in minutes. Were bootstrapped profitable and growing fast at over $5M ARR.

Our ambition is to build a category-defining company helping tens of millions of audio creators to visualize their content and promote it online.

As a profitable company there is no VC drama. We are a small ambitious group of people striving to build something creators love.

Tasks

• Own the systems that turn songs into videos: video generation pipelines model orchestration queue management and the infrastructure that keeps it all running at scale.
• Design and build backend services in Python that orchestrate multiple AI providers (we work with fal BytePlus OpenRouter AWS and others) and gracefully handle their quirks failures and pricing trade-offs.
• Improve reliability latency and cost across the generation stack. Every second shaved off a render and every cent saved per video compounds across millions of generations.
• Build the infrastructure for new product surfaces working closely with the founder and tech lead on architecture decisions.
• Instrument and monitor what you ship. Youll have real visibility into how your code performs in production and the autonomy to fix whats broken.
• Contribute to the AI/ML side of the stack: prompt engineering model evaluation fine-tuning pipelines and experimenting with new models as they ship.

Requirements

• Youve shipped production Python backends that handled real load - async workloads queues retries the unglamorous stuff that makes systems actually work.
• Youre comfortable working with AI APIs and have opinions about how to wrangle them: cost latency failure modes model selection.
• You think in systems. When something breaks your instinct is to find the root cause not patch the symptom.
• You have high agency. You see a bottleneck you fix it. You dont wait for a ticket.
• Bonus points: experience with video/audio processing pipelines (ffmpeg GStreamer etc.) GPU orchestration multi-provider AI infrastructure or distributed systems at scale.
• Youre genuinely excited about generative AI and where its heading. You probably have a side project or two that proves it.
• Youre based in Berlin and can join us in the office on at least four days a week.
