Founding Core Product Engineer

Founding Core Product Engineer ###

Debrief solves future of work challenges with our asynchronous video management and collaboration platform. Using Debrief’s AI-powered transcription and search, a company can catalog all of their recordings and quickly find the right information. Companies use Debrief for knowledge bases, meeting archives, asynchronous feedback, and a single place to store their growing number of videos.

We are hiring a founding core product engineer to join our 3 person engineering team led by the founders (ex-Twitch senior and principal engineers). This role will have a massive impact on the core product, company, and culture as we scale the way companies manage their video and collaborate asynchronously.

We view core product engineering as paramount. This is why we are giving this role a founder title. We expect this role to shape the future of Debrief’s core product while implementing it at a blistering pace. While this role has the title Engineer, this role is a hybrid product manager and engineer.
