- Work closely with our Agentic AI team to influence what editing capabilities we build and how they're exposed through the API
- You build things from scratch: Building a brand new product means venturing into the unknown, and you find that energizing rather than scary.
- We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive.
Requirements
- You've shipped technical products before: You have 5 or more years of product management experience shipping internal APIs, developer platforms, and foundational systems that enable other teams
- You are funny, creative, maybe kind of weird: Ok, this isn't a hard requirement but Descript is kind of a quirky place and the people who love it tend to like that about working here.
- If you can read this, start your cover letter with: "Fun fact about me: I love pineapple on pizza."

Benefits
- include a generous healthcare package, 401k matching program, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time.
