    Default job background
    Description
    Video editing is the final frontier of software tools moving to the cloud. We're making the next generation of modern creator tools to enable everyone to share their story online.

    Join us at Kapwing on our mission to help marketing, communications, and media teams make more and better video content faster.

    Everyone is a creator. The problem, however, is that today's tools get in the way of expressing our creativity fully.

    Especially when it comes to video, the gap between an idea and a video is wide enough that it's hard to even start.

    Our mission at Kapwing is to empower digital storytellers and the creative teams they work within. Kapwing is a video creation hub that makes marketing and communications teams 10x faster in creating video content together. Millions of creators every month choose Kapwing to tell their story and bring their ideas to life.

    Our vision is to build a modern, collaborative video editing platform that serves as the go-to tool for anyone creating video for work.

    Being in the browser allows us to turn video editing, a traditionally heavyweight, time consuming workflow, into a joyful, collaborative, and fully-featured experience.

    We believe that AI - generative AI and automations from the transcript can make storytelling easier, more fun, and more distributed across an organization.

    While software is the core of our product, being creative is the core of our work.

    Every team at Kapwing, from engineering to content to customer success, values trying new things, moving quickly, and helping creators in new ways.

    Join us on our journey to democratize creative tools and invent the future stack of video creation.

    Test new features, monitor releases, and mitigate risk.
    Investigate and prototype new technologies and build applications on top of ML-powered APIs
    Implement new features and improvements to Kapwing's Studio and other core products. Partner with product and growth to reach new creators and sell to creative enterprises.

    Create a culture of engineering excellence by refining our processes, documentation, onboarding and interviewing practices, tooling, and other cross-functional systems.

    Collaborate with, mentor, and teach other engineers on your area of expertise.
    Requirements

    Comfortable with React, Redux, Typescript, Node, automated testing (i.e. Cypress, Jest) and REST APIs
    Experience prototyping and building new products from scratch. Can evaluate, configure, and incorporate new web technology
    Can leverage monitoring systems like Sentry, Graylog, and Newrelic and navigate errors in a kubernetes environment
