Principal Engineering - San Francisco, CA, United States - Genai Works

Description

Our vision is to build the next-generation platform for fast and easy creation of audio and video content.

In June 2022, we launched Storyboard , a completely redesigned experience around video creation and what we have always envisioned to be our v1.

We are used by some of the world's top podcasters and influencers as well as businesses such as BBC, ESPN, Hubspot, Shopify and Washington Post for communicating via video.

We've raised $100M from some of the world's best investors like OpenAI , Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures and Spark Capital.

We are looking for an experienced engineering manager to support our AI Platform team – the team that takes models from research (in house, open source or proprietary) and gets it ready for production.

You will also collaborate with our research team to build modern training infra and improve productivity of AI researchers.

Above all, you will be responsible for ensuring the safe and rapid deployment of our AI models so that we are able to create a magical audio and video editing experience for everyone.
