Develops AI-enhanced anime turn-based strategy games
We're seeking a talented Front-End Engineer to join our team and help us build the next generation of anime and video game tools. You'll be responsible for designing and developing complex front-end applications, usually in react and typescript, with a focus on making responsive and delightful user interfaces.
As a member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in the anime and video game industry. Ideally you're a fan of the genre.
Most of our apps are interaction-heavy single-page editors, much closer in spirit to photoshop and blender than your typical SaaS app. A willingness to dive headfirst into canvas, webGL, and (maybe!) webGPU is recommended!
Large complex SPAs have all sorts of super interesting UI/UX challenges! We're looking for someone with experience building tasteful UI, a good design sense for layout, experiences, and microinteractions.
We currently have a tiny team of three on frontend engineering. You'll be working directly with some of the best AI researchers in the world to integrate their state-of-the-art models into your beautiful interfaces.
We also believe in the unmatched speed of in-person teams, and prefer on-site collaboration in either our primary research office in Tokyo (downtown Akihabara) or San Francisco. Visa sponsorships are available.

Spellbrush creates anime-themed video games that fuse strategic, turn-based tactical gameplay with generative AI to assist artists in producing high-quality visuals. The product works by using AI to generate art assets and other content that players experience during gameplay, while developers ensure balanced mechanics and polished visuals in each game. The company distinguishes itself from competitors by combining a strong love for anime and tactical gameplay with AI-powered art generation, which helps produce distinctive, visually appealing games that still emphasize thoughtful strategy. Revenue comes from direct digital game sales, with potential additions such as DLCs, in-game purchases, and collaborations with other studios or tech partners to leverage their AI capabilities.
