About the role

*Open to hiring remote across North America and Europe — we also have offices in NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, and London

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer for our Frontend team to help us build cutting-edge, AI-powered video creation and collaboration tools. Rather than specialists, we’re seeking curiosity-driven engineers who are determined problem solvers and thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments. Our engineering team is highly collaborative and works on a wide variety of exciting challenges, including developing new interfaces for AI content creation and deploying cutting-edge computer vision and generative models to production.

A peek at our technical stack

The rich UI of our generative AI tools is powered by Typescript and React, while the real-time compositing and graphics engine behind our interactive preview runs on WebGL2 and WebAssembly. Our API endpoints for real-time collaboration and media asset management are written in Typescript and node.js.

What you’ll do

• Create rich multimedia interfaces using the latest, cutting-edge AI video generation models like Gen-3 Alpha.
• Take on new challenges across the Frontend stack to implement new product features for Runway’s machine learning based generative AI tools.
• Improve the performance, reliability, and code quality of our codebases.

What you’ll need

• 3-6 years of industry experience in a software engineering role, ideally frontend focused.
• Experience in architecting production-ready systems and familiarity with debugging and profiling tools.
• Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and iterate on them with tight product deadlines.
• Humility and open-mindedness; at Runway we love to learn from one another.

Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry, and salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide.

We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed. So regardless of race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, origin, ability, age, veteran status, if joining this mission speaks to you, we encourage you to apply.
