San Francisco, California, United States Descript Full time
Job Description:

At Descript, we're building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio - an editing tool built for the age of AI. We're looking for a skilled Frontend Software Engineer to join our team and help us refine and expand our next-generation web-based, collaborative audio and video editing tool.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers to deliver a high-quality user experience.
  • Develop and refine front-end architecture and best practices to support a fast-moving product engineering team.
  • Work alongside AI researchers to build innovative user experiences around the state-of-the-art advancements in AI.
  • Iterate on our script-and-scene media editing paradigm to keep users in flow state during the editing process.
  • Push the web browser to its limit, writing high-performance code rivaling native applications.

Requirements:
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Industry experience in a frontend software engineering role.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages and frontend frameworks, especially TypeScript/JavaScript/React.
  • Pride in delivering high-quality, maintainable, observable, debuggable features.
  • Desire to take ownership, and resourcefulness to find answers and simplify problems.
  • Self-aware of strengths and seeking to constantly learn and improve.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.

About Descript:

Descript is a team of 150 - with a proven CEO and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors (OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital). We're a special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company. Benefits include a generous healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. Our headquarters are located in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. We're looking to hire people who are local and able to join us at the office when needed. We're flexible, and you're an adult-we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day. But we do believe there are valuable and serendipitous moments of discovery and collaboration that come from working together in person.

Equal Opportunity Employer:

Descript is an equal opportunity workplace-we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive.
