Founding Growth & Content

CreativeMode enables players to create mods for their favorite video games without coding, starting with Minecraft.

Video games have evolved from fixed, finished products into living worlds shaped by players, developers, and pop culture. We’re taking that evolution to its next stage by giving every player the power of a game studio at their fingertips.

In just our first three months, we built the most powerful no-code modding platform ever for Minecraft and created a double digit percentage of all mods ever released. We're building the flagship product in an entirely new category of gaming tools. And Minecraft is only the beginning.

About CreativeMode

In the past 9 months, more Minecraft mods were made with CreativeMode than in the game's previous 17 years combined. CreativeMode is making every player a creator.

Games like Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox started a revolution by allowing players to shape the games they love. CreativeMode is taking it to the next level by giving every player the power of a game studio at their fingertips. Players on CreativeMode create new experiences, play them with friends, and share their creations with the community. It’s a new way to play and create where imagination is the only limit.

CreativeMode’s founding team met as early engineers at Crusoe (soon to IPO) and studied CS+AI at Stanford, MIT, and CMU. The team is backed by top investors including YC and General Catalyst.

About the role

We’re looking for the first hire on our Growth team. Our creator program already generates tens of millions of views per month and thousands of signups per day, and we haven't made a single growth hire yet. You'll take ownership of our growth engine that's already working and scale it to hundreds of millions of monthly views and tens of thousands of daily signups. You'll work directly with the CEO, manage a 6 to 7 figure annual budget, and define how a category-defining gaming startup acquires its next 10 million users.

You’re a fit if you:

• Have a life-long passion for gaming and a deep understanding of the community
• Understand social media content in gaming at a visceral level and have a strong instinct for viral content
• Are excited to experiment with and scale new growth motions and viral content formats
• Deeply believe in democratizing the creation of video games
• Want a role where you can take ownership and make a meaningful difference in the trajectory of the next generation gaming company

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience scaling growth at a consumer product, creator platform, or gaming company or a track record of building a large audience yourself in gaming content
• Experience running creator/influencer programs at scale
• Ability to operate as an owner. You'll be the first growth hire, working directly with the CEO, and setting the playbook rather than inheriting one
• Comfort managing a 6 to 7 figure annual growth budget with clear thinking about CAC, payback, and channel attribution

Note: This role is in-person in SF - We have a beautiful office in SF that we share with several other YC/MIT startups. You’ll be in one of the most focused and talent dense offices in the city.

We're built on a modern and developer friendly tech stack (all three founders have a technical background and write code daily).

Our frontend is in Typescript/NextJS. Our backend server is in Go and our backend AI stack is in Python and built on top of a custom agentic framework (we used to build production AI agents). We deploy on Vercel and Kubernetes. We also have an Electron desktop application.
