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.
We’re looking to hire talented Senior Full-Stack Software Engineers to help build this modern media creation platform. Senior full stack engineers at Kapwing touch every part of the codebase and play an instrumental role in architecting and implementing our technology. This role is full-time in Kapwing's new New York City office or the San Francisco HQ.
Some sample projects include creating a new processing framework to speed up video processing, integrating AI features like translating a video, architecting our client application to allow for faster speeds, creating a new ecosystem for plugins and templates, and much more.
Compensation: $180,000 - $225,000
