Infrastructure Engineer

Descript is on a mission to make audio and video content creation and editing fast, easy, and accessible to all. We are building a cutting-edge media editor incorporating real time collaboration, ground-breaking UX, and cutting-edge AI. This is the future of media! At Descript, we believe that software engineers should own the reliability and performance of what they ship to production, so as an Infrastructure Engineer, you will drive projects that let engineers better understand and improve the performance, availability, and quality of what they ship. In addition, you will be owning and improving the core production infrastructure and building blocks upon which other engineers depend. We are looking for people who have good systems fundamentals, a desire to teach and advise colleagues, and the ability to make strategic decisions. As one of the early members of the Infrastructure team, you will be shaping what reliability looks like at Descript as we grow. If you love the idea of working closely with engineering leadership to build a product that users love, this may be the role for you!
