Software Engineer, Web Product

About the role

Mirage is an AI video company focused on making creation dramatically easier. Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media.

We get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually do creative work with them—defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed.

All of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs.

About the role

Our product engineers own end-to-end product experiences for creative workflows—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser by building sophisticated creative tools that span delightful user interfaces, video & graphics rendering, and the integration of large generative AI models. As a small, collaborative team, our product engineers are trusted with a high degree of ownership and agency—directly influencing what we build and how we build it.

Responsibilities

- Ship end-to-end product experiences for creative workflows, owning features from initial concept through production and iteration

- Push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser, building highly polished, performant user experiences for complex, media-rich creation and interaction

- Build full-stack solutions that balance performance, scalability, and extensibility—including APIs, data flows, and services that support real-time and asynchronous workflows
