AI-powered video commerce platform for shoppable experiences and agentic shopping
Firework builds AI video commerce infrastructure for DTC and omnichannel retailers. The stack reveals a company scaling both content pipelines (FFmpeg, GStreamer, WebRTC for video processing) and backend systems (Elixir/Phoenix APIs, PostgreSQL/Cassandra for data, LangChain/CrewAI for agentic logic). Active hiring across engineering, support, and sales—with concentrated focus on backend and frontend architecture—signals pressure to handle high-volume traffic and large-scale data workloads, consistent with their livestream and content-at-scale pain points.

Founded in 2017 and based in San Mateo, Firework operates with 201–500 employees across engineering, product, sales, support, and production teams, with active hiring in the US, Middle East, and China.
