my team at Midjourney is looking to hire an experienced web developer (full-stack, front-end focused). if you're interested, or know someone who is, DM me a portfolio or resume.

you should be comfortable turning research prototypes into production apps, and love to ship code to users

We recently made it even easier to reuse the data we provide, with two new features — upgraded data downloads & an API.

We’ve heard how helpful these are from many users — e.g., data scientists & researchers have told us how the API makes their workflows more efficient and reproducible.
