ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company that has raised $781M in funding with a $22B valuation. The company serves millions of users and thousands of businesses, including Deutsche Telekom and Meta, with AI voice, creative, and developer platforms.
You will join a small team building the next generation of Creative Agents within ElevenCreative. The creative agent is already live, and your role combines substantial greenfield development with improving and operating this live product. Your ambition is to make agents a primary way people create across ElevenCreative—building systems that turn ideas into high-quality audio, image, and video by bringing models and creative tools together without requiring users to become prompting experts.
Key responsibilities:
- Build production agents and expand their capabilities through prompts, tool use, orchestration, new models, and MCP integrations
- Design and operate reliable backend systems for asynchronous creative generation and long-running tasks, with strong performance, observability, scalability, and security
- Develop shared evaluations and live quality monitoring, including model-based assessment of image and video outputs
- Own features end-to-end, from identifying user needs and prototyping to shipping across the stack and supporting them in production, working alongside product, design, and engineering teams
You will help shape both what the agent can do and how people use it across ElevenCreative. The work combines discovering what works, turning experiments into reliable features, and using real customer feedback to guide what gets built next.
ElevenLabs operates with a high-velocity, impact-driven culture emphasizing rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, minimal bureaucracy, and AI-first approaches. The company prioritizes talent over location and offers learning & development stipends, annual company offsites, and co-working stipends for remote team members.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong backend engineering skills with experience operating production systems and sound fundamentals in APIs, cloud infrastructure, storage, and asynchronous processing
- Hands-on experience developing agents, with understanding of prompts, tools, execution logic, evaluations, and the challenges of reliable, secure operation
- Evidence of independent, end-to-end ownership and confidence working across the stack, including frontend delivery when needed
- Good product judgment, clear communication, and enthusiasm for creative agents
- Familiarity with HTTP, WebSockets, and asynchronous workers
- Experience with multimodal generation, creative editors, MCP, or building products in small, fast-moving teams is particularly valuable
The company seeks evidence of exceptional engineering: products shipped, difficult problems solved, and systems owned. They may consider exceptional engineers with closely relevant experience.
