Job description

At Runway, we believe everyone has a story to tell. Our mission is to make professional video and content creation accessible to all. We are taking recent advancements in computer graphics, the web, and machine learning to push the boundaries of creativity and in turn, lower the barriers of content creation; unfastening a new wave of storytelling 🚀

Over the last four years, we’ve raised funding from top-tier investors and partners including Amplify, Coatue, Compound, Felicis, Google, Lux, NVIDIA, and Salesforce. Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring, and entrepreneurial individuals from all walks of life. We aspire to build incredible things which starts with building an incredible team, so we’d love to hear from you! 😁

About the role 🎉

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer for our Frontend team to help us build cutting-edge, AI-powered video creation and collaboration tools. Rather than specialists, we’re seeking curiosity-driven engineers who are determined problem solvers and thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments. Our engineering team is highly collaborative and works on a wide variety of exciting challenges, including developing new interfaces for AI content creation and deploying cutting-edge computer vision and generative models to production.

A peek at our technical stack 🔍

The rich UI of our generative AI tools is powered by Typescript and React/Redux, while the real time compositing and graphics engine behind our interactive preview runs on WebGL2 and WebAssembly. Our API endpoints for real-time collaboration and media asset management are written in Typescript and node.js and are deployed as serverless functions on AWS Lambda.

What you’ll do 🎨

Create rich multimedia interfaces using the latest, cutting-edge AI video generation models: Gen-1 and Gen-2
Work with a world-class engineering team pushing the boundaries of creativity and content creation on the browser
Take on new challenges across the Frontend stack to implement new product features for Runway’s machine learning based generative AI tools
Improve the performance, reliability, and code quality of our codebases

What you’ll need 💻

4+ years of industry experience in a software engineering role, ideally frontend focused
Demonstrated fluency of one or more programming languages, including but not limited to Javascript/Typescript
Experience in architecting production-ready systems and familiarity with debugging and profiling tools
Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and iterate on them with tight product deadlines
Humility and open mindedness; at Runway we love to learn from one another
