About this role

Capsule is building the world’s most intuitive AI-powered video editing tool, designed for modern teams. We’re a Series A startup led by two serial founders who have built and scaled creative platforms used by hundreds of millions of people. We’re backed by top-tier investors behind Webflow, Figma, Slack, and Replit.

We’ve grown quickly. In less than a year, 100+ enterprise teams—including HubSpot, ServiceNow, and Instacart—use Capsule to create high-quality, on-brand video content at scale.

We're hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us build the next generation of web-based video editing. You’ll be a key contributor to our engineering culture and product direction, working closely with design and product in a zero-ego, high-ownership environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Own integrations with internal and 3rd-party APIs

  • Identify and eliminate technical debt, simplify architecture, and improve performance

  • Champion quality through testing, code reviews, documentation, and best practices

  • Explore new technologies through rapid prototyping and R&D

  • Contribute to a high-velocity, collaborative engineering culture

  • Stay up-to-date with AI coding tools to gain leverage and velocity

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of professional frontend experience (React, Next.js, or similar frameworks)

  • A strong sense of product and design—your work should feel as good as it looks
    Experience building production apps from scratch

  • Solid knowledge of modern frontend architectures and web video technologies

  • Proficiency with Figma and collaborating closely with design

  • Strong communicator with high emotional intelligence

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action

  • Bonus points for:

    • API development with Node.js

    • WebAssembly and/or WebGL

    • AI Engineering

    • Familiarity with CI/CD and APM tools

Perks & Benefits
