Ambition

Our ambition is to become the go-to AI platform for brands, agencies, and marketers to produce high-quality creative assets at scale. Pimento offers full control along with unlimited creativity, allowing our users to edit and create high-quality ads that accurately reflect their brand or artistic direction in a cost-efficient manner. 🌶️

The company was founded in late 2022 by Florent Facq and Tomás Yany, who met at Ecole Polytechnique and were both passionate by AI and creativity. In 3 years, Pimento has already:

reached hundreds of users, completely fans of Pimento
created an innovative and fun product: Gen AI applied to images and text, at the cutting edge of the best technologies and for extremely creative uses
built a team of A-Players driven by the same passion
raised €3.2M from renowned investors: Partech, Cygni Capital, Motier Ventures, Thibaud Elzière (Hexa), Jean-Charles Samuelian (Alan), Robin Sabban (JellySmack), and Igor Manceau (Ubisoft), and we are also supported by BPI and the European Union

Why this role exists

Pimento is going all-in on agentic AI for creative production. We’re building an AI agent that orchestrates the entire creative workflow — from brief analysis to style extraction, generation, self-critique, and refinement. We’re replacing boards with infinite canvases. We’re shipping features in hours, not weeks, using Claude Code, Cursor, and whatever gets us there fastest.

We need someone who doesn’t wait for a roadmap to be handed to them. Someone who sees what’s broken, imagines the fix, builds it, and ships it.

What you’ll work on

Agentic creative pipeline — Design and build the AI agent loop: brief → creative plan → generation → self-critique → iteration, with a creative memory that learns user preferences over time
Next-gen UX — Build the AI-native creative tool for producing the best ads and marketing visuals — built around layered assets for full creative control.
AI-native development — Push the boundaries of what coding agents can do. Set up MCP servers, improve CI pipelines, make the entire team ship faster
Full-stack product engineering — Python/FastAPI backend, React/TypeScript frontend, GCP/Kubernetes infra. You own your work end-to-end, from architecture to production monitoring

You

We're looking for builders with a founder's instinct — the kind of engineer who treats the product as their own, spots what needs to happen next without being told, and would rather ship something imperfect today than plan something perfect for next month.

You’ve built something from scratch before — a startup, a product, a side project that people actually used. You know what it takes to go from zero to one.
You ship features in hours, not weeks. You use Claude Code, Cursor, and whatever tool gets you there fastest. You’re excited about AI-assisted development, not threatened by it.
You don’t wait for permission or instructions. You see a problem, imagine a solution, build it, and ship it.
You thrive with autonomy and are energized by ownership. You can spend days shipping something and then throw it away if it’s not right.
You have deep technical skills (5+ years) and stay obsessively current with the state of the art in AI.
You’ve done something genuinely out of the box in your life. Something weird, unexpected, or unconventional that shows how you think differently. We care less about your CV and more about what makes you singular.
