Descript

We offer an AI video and podcast editor that makes editing video and audio as easy as editing text. Our platform lets you record, transcribe, edit, and publish content. Core features include text-based editing, automated design tools, a built-in recorder, and hosted publishing for easy collaboration.

Underlord, our AI co-editor, can create, edit, and design videos from your descriptions, or give feedback and edit your scripts. We also offer AI tools like Studio Sound, Remove Filler Words, and Create Clips, plus AI Speech with custom voice clones and video regeneration.

Over 7 million creators and businesses use the platform, including teams in marketing, learning and development, sales enablement, support, and independent creators. It helps with product demos, training videos, screen recordings, video messages, podcasts, and social clips. Founded in 2017, we’ve raised $100M from investors like OpenAI Startup Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and Spark Capital.

Our mission is to help build the future of media creation by making quality audio and video content production accessible to everyone through our editor. Our values guide how we work together and approach content creation.

We have 51 to 200 employees. We offer a flexible work environment with options for on-site work in San Francisco, hybrid models, or fully remote work across the USA and Canada. While local employees aren’t expected in the office daily, we value in-person collaboration for the spontaneous connections it creates. Users often highlight our platform’s collaborative tools for streamlining teamwork. We have a collaborative culture, described in job postings as “quirky,” with an emphasis on cross-team work.

We offer medical, dental, and vision benefits for all employees and their dependents, with both HMO and PPO plans. We provide various retirement plans, including an employer matching program. Employees get paid holidays and flexible time off. We offer paid parental leave for new parents. Remote employees receive a home-office stipend. We also organize annual off-site gatherings for all team members, no matter their work location. Those working in the San Francisco office get free lunches, snacks, and drinks.
