Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• We're building the future of storytelling and video editing.
• We're a small team that moves fast and builds things we're proud of.
• We care obsessively about taste: in design, in product, in every detail.
• We're solving these https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msvjI0iKo6CG9HMN5Z5vxKpwsU4IxXQl-O4yCwJnq5A/edit?usp=sharing hard problems.
• We're backed by a Tier-1 global fund, YC, and founders of billion dollar companies.
• Own backend systems for exports, proxies, media preprocessing, analysis, and agent-powered editing.
• Maintain the APIs and state contracts between the browser, workers, storage, and database.
• Improve long-running media workflows: uploads, exports, processing jobs, progress, and recovery.

Who can apply

• You've owned production backend systems and kept them healthy as the product changed.
• You think clearly about state, queues, workers, files, and the contracts between them.
• You can turn product goals like faster exports or instant-feeling uploads into a practical backend plan.
• You care about media: formats, codecs, model output, processing time, and the final quality users see.
• You're language-flexible. TypeScript, Go, Rust, Python: you'll use whatever fits the problem.
• Bonus: deep FFmpeg or GStreamer experience, or codec internals knowledge across formats like ProRes, H.264/H.265, BRAW, R3D, DNx, and others.
