Senior Software Engineer, Product

Darum lohnt es sich

Role overview This is a senior product engineering role on a small, mission-driven team building AI-native video and audio editing tools. The team is organized into pods covering the core editor, growth and monetization, media engine, and an agentic AI co-editor.

Responsibilities • Own meaningful product surfaces end to end, including definition, design, implementation, launch, measurement, and maintenance of customer-facing features. • Partner with product and design to shape interactions, expose constraints, choose the right metrics, and find simpler paths to user outcomes. • Build ambitious full-stack systems across TypeScript and React front ends, Node.js services, Temporal workflows, and first- and third-party integrations. • Improve how the team learns and ships, including instrumentation, incremental releases, tests, observability, and release practices. • Provide architectural direction, thoughtful code reviews, and mentoring to raise the technical bar. • Contribute to a recently rewritten Rust-based media engine and adjacent tools, even while ramping up on the language.

Benefits and work setup • Base salary range of $220,000 to $265,000, plus equity and benefits; final offer depends on experience, expertise, location, and level. • Healthcare package, 401(k) matching, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. • Mix of remote and hybrid roles, with periodic in-person collaboration and a flexible, adult approach to office time for hybrid employees. • Headquarters in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA.

Engineers own outcomes end to end, taking work from a rough idea through design, implementation, launch, measurement, and iteration, in close partnership with product, design, and the rest of engineering.

Requirements • 5+ years of experience building and shipping customer-facing products, including end-to-end features that measurably improved user or business outcomes. • Demonstrated ability to own features and experiments from planning through launch, using analytics and metrics to evaluate impact. • Comfort leveraging AI agents to multiply impact and think critically about how to apply AI in everyday work. • Ability to ramp quickly in unfamiliar systems by exploring codebases and asking thoughtful questions. • Strong product instincts, including caring about how software feels and pushing back when the technically correct result is still wrong for the user. • Clear, human writing and rigorous validation habits (reproductions, logs, tests) rather than relying on appearances.

Nice to have • Experience with editors, media products, creative tools, or payment systems. • Familiarity with the core stack: TypeScript, HTML/CSS, React, Redux, Node.js, API design, Temporal Workflows, and SQL. • Building agents or experimenting with media-generation models. • Strength in experimentation and product analytics. • Experience with shaders, graphics rendering, audio and visual effects, or media formats.
