📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.
💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.
💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.

You'll work across the entire stack, from prompt engineering to frontend integration, shaping how millions of people use AI to create presentations, documents, and websites. You'll partner closely with product, design, and engineering to turn AI capabilities into polished, delightful experiences that users reach for every day.
Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

  • Ship features that integrate cutting-edge AI into intuitive user experiences across millions of daily requests
  • Collaborate with product and design to translate AI possibilities into polished, user-facing features
  • Optimize AI performance and cost at scale, balancing quality with speed and reliability
What you'll bring
  • 3+ years building production web applications with strong full-stack fundamentals, including proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js (or similar)
  • Experience working with LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI/ML systems in production, with genuine curiosity about new models and capabilities
  • Familiarity with frontend engineering, state management, data models, and API design
  • Strong product sense, with the ability to translate technical AI capabilities into real user value
  • A curious, self-driven mindset that matches your technical skill
  • Experience building AI-powered consumer products or working with image generation models (Nice to have)
Compensation range:
The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $180K - $275K plus benefits & equity.
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

Life at Gamma
🤝 You’ll fit right in if…
  • You get energy from small teams doing big things.
  • You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
  • You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
  • You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
  • You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
  • You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
  • You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
  • You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.
💙 Who we are
Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.
We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.
💬 Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:
We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:
  • "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
  • "You can have an idea and just run with it."
  • "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
  • "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
