Remote Job
Senior Javascript Engineer (Tools)
VEED.IO- fullTime
- Posted : 11 months ago
VEED.IO is an online video editing platform with a simple mission: enabling anyone to create professional-looking videos. For too long, video creation has been inaccessible to so many people — you’ve had to download & learn complicated software, and buy expensive equipment. What if you could create a video in five minutes, right from your browser? That’s what we’re building here at VEED.
We're already used by millions of creators around the world — from kids & grandparents to ambitious YouTubers, to companies like Amazon & Google — all using our products to tell stories, create content & grow their audiences.
Since we started VEED four years ago, we’ve grown faster than we could have ever imagined. We’ve gone from one user to millions. From no revenue to over $10M ARR. From bootstrapped to backed by Sequoia, one of the biggest VC firms in the world. From a team of two to a team of 150+. And we’re still growing — we’d love for you to be a part of our journey.
About the team
We are looking for a Senior JavaScript / Frontend engineer to join the Tools team inside the Product organization of VEED.
The Tools team is responsible for a series of customer-facing video tools that are solving commonly searched-for problems (e.g. "embed video") and raising VEED's domain authority on video matters. In recent months, one of those tools experienced incredible growth in popularity and became our main focus - the Recorder! Our Recorder product allows users to create new content through the VEED platform in a simple, intuitive manner. Their audio/camera/screen recordings can then be instantly shared, fine-tuned in a lightweight editor, or fed into the VEED Editor for fully-fledged customization.
You will be supported by your amazing teammates but also regularly interact with other teams, whether it is cloud infrastructure, rendering, frontend, or backend, given that our products can sometimes touch the whole stack. You will have the opportunity to influence how our features are built and also the team's growth.

What you will do
As a Senior JavaScript / Frontend engineer, you will act as an engineering multiplier for the team.

- Drive innovation on the team with a willingness to experiment and boldly confront problems of immense complexity and scope.
- Proactively seek out difficult impediments to our efficiency as a team (“technical debt”), propose and implement solutions that will enable the team to iterate faster.
- Participate in Incident Management and customer support reach outs.
