About Descript:
Descript is committed to creating a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio—a tool engineered for the era of AI. We are a 125-person team led by an accomplished CEO and backed by prominent investors like OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and Spark Capital.
Descript is a unique company that already possesses product-market fit and the basic components (enthusiastic user community, great product, large market) for growth. However, we're still early enough that each new employee can have a meaningful impact on the company's trajectory.
Our benefits include an extensive healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. We have offices located in San Francisco and Montreal, and we welcome remote workers from PT and ET time zones. Whether you prefer working from home or from the office, we're interested in providing an environment that suits you.
Descript is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or veteran status. We believe that having a diverse team enhances our workforce, products, and community.
