Your ability to navigate complex scenarios and offer innovative solutions will be instrumental in shaping the future of the company.

Any experience with something like ffmpeg, webrtc, WebGL or HLS would be great.You have worked with a startup or scale-up before, and know how to navigate ambiguity.You have a good understanding of testing software and different testing methodologies (unit, integration and e2e). You understand how to create quality products.Youre an excellent communicator, you know how to work transparently, and youre able to work well asynchronously.You enjoy shipping regularly and making a positive impact.Preferred SkillsPrior experience working on a video editing or video-related product.Ideally, you would be enthusiastic about using tools such as Copilot, WindSurf or Cursor to move quickly.Prior experience in training and deploying LLMs and other AI models.You have some experience working with LLM APIs (such as OpenAI, Claude or Llama) and other AI models.This startup has a really promising growth trajectory, and what they have already built is incredible.
