In this role, you will lead our dedicated Agentic Video Editing engineering team. You will guide, mentor, and inspire a team of talented software engineers while establishing a healthy, and high-velocity engineering culture. You will partner extensively with cross-functional peers, including Product Managers, UX designers, and partner engineering teams, to translate the bold long-term goal of agentic video creation into dependable, intuitive, and production-grade creator experiences worldwide.
