Description Descript was started by Andrew Mason, founder and ex-CEO of Groupon, as an internal tool to accelerate the production of audio content creation while he was working on Detour, an audio tours company. While Detour didn't find product market fit, the team was convinced Descript was the better idea and that's how Descript was born.

Our vision is to build the next-generation platform for fast and easy creation of audio and video content. In October 2020, we took a huge leap forward by launching a fully featured video editor and a screen recorder. We're used by some of the world's top podcasters and influencers as well as companies such as BBC, ESPN, and Washington Post. We've raised $50M from some of the world's best investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures and Spark Capital.

Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company. If you're excited about what we're doing, we'd love to talk to you.

We offer a competitive pay package and benefits include a generous healthcare package, 401k and unlimited vacation time.
