We are building the next-generation platform to empower creators with the tools they need to produce high-quality audio and video content, faster and more easily than ever before. Using cutting-edge AI, we’re reimagining how people record, transcribe, edit, and mix spoken audio and video. This vision comes with unique challenges and requires solving complex technical problems at scale.
To achieve our ambitious goals and serve our rapidly growing customer base, we are accelerating the growth of our engineering team. We’re seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead, inspire, and grow with our expanding company. You will oversee a team of 8-10 engineers, with opportunities to scale and develop the team as the company grows. This role reports directly to the VP of Engineering.

What You Bring
Nice to haves:
The base salary range for this role is $210,000- $245,000/year. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, location, and may vary from the amount above.
Descript is building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio — an editing tool built for the age of AI. We are a team of 150 — with a proven CEO and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors (OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital).
Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company.
Benefits include a generous healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. Our headquarters are located in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. We're looking to hire people who are local and able to join us at the office when needed. We're flexible, and you're an adult—we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day. But we do believe there are valuable and serendipitous moments of discovery and collaboration that come from working together in person.
Descript is an equal opportunity workplace—we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive.
