Descript AI Jobs & Careers

Descript is an all-in-one AI-powered platform for video and podcast creation that revolutionized media editing by making it as simple as editing a text document. Founded by Groupon co-founder Andrew Mason, Descript automatically transcribes audio and video content with high accuracy, then lets creators edit their media by cutting, rearranging, or deleting words directly in the transcript -- with the corresponding audio and video updating seamlessly in real time. The platform's AI capabilities extend far beyond transcription. Descript's Underlord AI co-editor can automatically tighten cuts, remove filler words and silences, enhance audio quality, generate captions, and add visuals based on natural-language directions. Integration with ElevenLabs provides access to over 200 ultra-realistic AI voices in more than 30 languages, while Descript Rooms enables browser-based 4K multitrack recording for up to 10 participants. Backed by OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and Spark Capital, Descript has raised over $100 million in funding at a valuation exceeding $550 million. The platform reached $55 million in annual recurring revenue in late 2024, representing 75% year-over-year growth, and continues to ship new AI capabilities at a rapid pace. For creative technologists and AI engineers, Descript offers the chance to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human creativity, building tools that democratize professional-quality content production for millions of creators worldwide.
