Job description
At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.
We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.
We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.
This roleWe’re looking for a creative with strong taste and a background in filmmaking, design, animation, digital art, or creative technology. You’ll work closely with our Creative Director as part of Krea Studio to create content for product launches and our social channels, experiment with new AI tools, and develop original projects using Krea.
What you’ll doDevelop concepts and produce visuals, videos, and demos for product launches and social content.
Create original projects using Krea, from initial references and storyboards through to finished work.
Test new models and features, and find useful ways to incorporate them into creative production.
Work with the Creative Director to develop ideas and iterate on feedback.
Share workflows and discoveries with the studio team.
Give the product team feedback based on your experience using Krea.
Someone with a strong, well-developed point of view on what good creative work looks like.
A proven track record in your field, with a portfolio of completed projects.
Fluency with AI creative tools, you’ve used them regularly and know your way around the space, not just Krea.
Strong command of the production tools relevant to your discipline.
Clear communication and experience working with creative direction and feedback.
Experience producing work for product launches or brand campaigns.
Experience combining disciplines, such as filmmaking and 3D, or design and creative coding.
A public body of self-initiated creative work.
Include your portfolio and a few relevant projects. Tell us what you contributed and how you made them. A portfolio is required to be considered for this position.
What we offerTeam: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling
Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact
Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages
Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage
Time off: Flexible PTO policy
Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match
Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it

And more!
Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Krea in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).
Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.
Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Graphic Designers (SOC 27-1024).
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B, OPT
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Graphic Designer” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level IV (fully competent)Graphic Designers · San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $58,947 | ~15% |
| Level II | $80,434 | ~31% |
| Level III | $101,899 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $123,386 | ~61% |
This job pays $172,640 a year (converted from an hourly rate, 2,080 hours) — that's Level IV (fully competent). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level IV registration gets 4 entries; estimated selection chance about 61% — better than average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
