Role

Who you are

5+ years of professional experience developing full-stack experiences at scale
Strong understanding of Computer Science fundamentals (algorithms and data structures)
Proficiency in full-stack software development, including modern front-end technologies, back-end technologies, API frameworks, and cloud platforms
Bonus points for experience with complex rendering or real-time media processing

What the job involves

Our software engineers work across the stack to build consumer-facing products for millions of creators and businesses worldwide, and we’re currently hiring experienced full-stack engineers to join our web-platform team
Our product engineers push the limits of what’s possible in the browser—from custom graphics rendering to sophisticated video processing, and the integration of large video-generation models—tackling complex engineering and product challenges to enable creators to tell their stories with audio, video, and beyond
Build user-centric products by leveraging modern frontend, backend, and API technologies, including advanced in-browser rendering (e.g., WebAssembly & WebGL)
Implement full-stack solutions that balance performance, scalability, reliability, and extensibility
Own the product development lifecycle alongside cross-functional teammates (product, design, infra, and ML) to shape features from early concepts through final release
Maintain a high bar for code quality by championing best practices, testing, and participating in thoughtful code reviews

Our take

As AI integration grows in creative fields, concerns arise about the future of professions like writing and design. However, Captions has transformed these anxieties into opportunities by harnessing AI technology to streamline the creative workflow.

By automating tasks in music, graphic design, and video production, Captions allows users to generate compelling content directly from their mobile devices. With a focus on meeting the rising demand for captivating digital content, its subscription-based model covers key processes like captioning, editing, dubbing, and soundtracking.

Captions' innovative approach has garnered attention, securing funding from tech giants like Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. This investment will grow the company's machine learning team and invest further into in-house research efforts and technical infrastructure.
