Founding Growth Engineer

Founding Growth 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 growth 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 product, company, and culture as we scale the way companies manage their video and collaborate asynchronously.

A growth engineer is driven by extreme excitement in building something new that may-or-may-not be doable. That person lives to tinker with new technology and is never afraid of a problem. They work fast to get to a solution, even if it means hacking things together.

• Ownership across the Debrief product.
• Always provide our customers with the best possible product and experience.
• Help to grow the team by interviewing and hiring new engineers.

• Expert in a performant backend programming language such as golang, rust, or node.
• Expert in designing and building scalable architectures.
• Expert in using and building on AWS.
• Great written and verbal communication skills.
• Extraordinarily self-driven to build the best possible products for customers.
