Why work at Higgsfield AI?

Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $1B in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands.

We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn't just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like.

About the Role

We’re looking for a new-generation AI builder — someone between a software engineer, prompt engineer, automation hacker, and product innovator.

This is not a traditional SWE role.

You’ll work on AI-native products, internal agents, automations, and experimental workflows powered by the latest frontier models, open-source tooling, MCP ecosystems, and multimodal systems.

You should be the kind of person who constantly explores what’s happening in AI:

new agent frameworks
open-source tooling
AI video & creative workflows
MCP servers
coding agents
automation stacks
multimodal systems
new product patterns emerging every week

You don’t just follow trends — you prototype them.

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a fit if you:

Are a hustler who ships fast and experiments constantly
Have strong intuition for building new AI-native products and workflows
Stay deeply plugged into the AI ecosystem and emerging tooling
Understand how modern AI agents actually work under the hood
Can automate things quickly and creatively
Think in systems and workflows, not just prompts
Have strong product taste and curiosity
Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
Learn new tools obsessively fast

Must-Have Skills

Experience with JavaScript or Python (ideally both)
Comfortable building prototypes, automations, and internal tools
Understanding of:
- LLMs
- tokens/context windows
- APIs & CLI tooling
- MCP ecosystems
- agent frameworks
- tool use & orchestration
- RAG / retrieval concepts
Experience using modern AI coding workflows and AI-native tooling
Ability to quickly turn ideas into working demos or systems

Big Plus

Experience with ML or training/inference infrastructure
Experience with multimodal or video-generation tooling
Familiarity with open-source AI ecosystems
Experience building agentic systems or autonomous workflows
Strong vibe-coding energy

What You’ll Work On

Build AI-native internal and external products
Prototype new agentic workflows and automation systems
Explore frontier AI tooling and identify new product opportunities
Experiment with multimodal generation systems
Build automations across engineering, creative, and operational workflows
Work closely with product, infra, and research teams
Help the company stay ahead of where the AI market is going

The deal

Top-of-market compensation in USD.
Small team, high autonomy, and outsized impact.
On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere).

How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
Tell me about a project where prototyping was part of your work. What did you do?
Tell me about a project where automation was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: RAG, AI agents, Prompt engineering, Prototyping, and Automation. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
