Our models leverage contextual awareness to execute the same creative decisions a professional editor would - dramatically improving productivity for experienced teams, while making video creation accessible to anyone. We're an interdisciplinary team addressing some of the most difficult technical and creative challenges in generative media. As an early member of our team, you'll tackle foundational problems that remain largely unsolved across the industry, driving an outsized impact on the future of creative expression.

Please note that all of our roles will require you to be in-person at our NYC HQ (located in Union Square) About the role This role focuses on designing and building agentic systems that power creative workflows for short-form video. You'll help shape how AI agents reduce friction, accelerate learning, and unlock new creative possibilities for our users - building agents that can take creative actions on a user's behalf - while experimenting with emerging models and techniques to bring these experiences to life in production. Software Engineers on the agents team work across product, machine-learning, and systems engineering - owning meaningful problems end-to-end and helping define how our agents are built and deployed across the product. Responsibilities * Build and ship end-to-end agentic systems that meaningfully improve creative workflows, balancing quality, performance, and reliability * Design agent architectures - how agents gather context, plan, select tools, and execute creative tasks reliably at scale * Integrate state-of-the-art models, combining internal research and external capabilities to power new agent experiences * Measure and improve agent quality in production, using experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and real-world feedback to guide iteration ## Related Videos - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Times of (climate) crisis - How and why sustainable software is a must!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/988-times-of-climate-crisis-how-and-why-sustainable-software-is-a-must) - [Beyond Chatbots: How to build Agentic AI systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1629-beyond-chatbots-how-to-build-agentic-ai-systems) - [What non-automotive Machine Learning projects can learn from automotive Machine Learning projects](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/397-what-non-automotive-machine-learning-projects-can-learn-from-automotive-machine-learning-projects) - [Agentic AI: building autonomous systems for developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100034-agentic-ai-building-autonomous-systems-for-developers) ## Related Articles - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
