Software Engineer - Core

The Core Team does a wide breadth of critical work to bring users to realize their ideas in the novel media editing platform that is Descript. They are a fun and creative group of engineers who find their way along less-traveled code paths, often crossing borders to do systems integrations. Paying attention to performance and security, they own full-stack feature development, iterate on high stakes ancillary systems (auth, payments...), and make foundational investments to improve the app. The Core Team builds features to help our users find each other and use Descript to create and communicate their ideas with the world. We own critical systems ancillary to the business, such as access control, team management, project organization, usage tracking, payments, and more. We are looking for a full-stack software Engineer to help us expand these foundational systems.
