About Pika
See all roles →Pika is an AI creative platform for making video, images and audio, with its own models alongside third-party ones in a single app. Ad creatives, editors, marketers and filmmakers use focused tools such as Video Studio, Color Grade, Extend Video and Product Shot to go from an idea to finished output. It was founded by two former Stanford AI PhD students and raised an $80M Series B in 2024. The team is around 100 people. The product is built as a set of simple, self-contained apps rather than one overwhelming editor, which makes the product choices interesting.
