This brings our total funding to over $330M from top-tier investors, including Accel, Nvidia, Kleiner Perkins, Google and top founders and operators including Stripe, Datadog, Miro, Webflow, and Facebook.

About the role

As a Principal Product Manager, you will own the vision and strategy for our video platform, encompassing the Editor, Player, and public APIs. You will lead the effort to unify creation workflows and ensure a seamless experience across video editing, playback, and integration surfaces. This role offers the unique opportunity to shape how videos are created, scaled, and consumed at enterprise scale, influencing a product used by a diverse community from freelancers to 90% of Fortune 100 companies.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Design, Engineering, and Infrastructure, to drive platform usability, performance, and extensibility. Your work will empower users to move beyond traditional video editing complexity, enabling them to bring their creative vision to life with intuitive, scalable tools.

• Shaping the platform strategy to enable extensibility, integration, and scalability for enterprise and developer adoption.
• Partnering with Infrastructure teams to ensure reliability, performance, and scalability of video creation and playback.
• Contributing the evolution of assisted creation features and AI-powered workflows within a unified product experience.
• Prioritizing use cases and features based on deep understanding of user needs, market trends, and competitive landscape.
• Leading cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-impact product releases on time and with quality.
• Advocating for a strong UX focus and intuitive design that lowers barriers to video creation for diverse user segments.
• Acting as a key influencer across the organization, communicating product vision and progress to stakeholders at all levels.

Who are you?

• You are a strategic thinker with a strong track record of leading complex, high-impact product initiatives.
• You have 7+ years of experience managing world-class products, ideally with a focus on creative or collaborative tooling.
• You possess deep product intuition and a strong UX focus, with the ability to understand and anticipate user needs.
• You have experience working on platform products, including APIs, extensibility, and integration surfaces.
• You are comfortable navigating large, ambiguous product areas and collaborating effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• You have a solid understanding of video creation and editing complexities, with prior experience in video tools considered a strong plus.
• You are technically fluent, able to engage confidently with engineering and infrastructure teams on platform and API design.
• You have excellent communication skills and excel at cross-functional partnership with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Support.
• You are customer-obsessed, with a passion for shipping impactful products that drive meaningful user outcomes.
• You thrive in high-autonomy roles and are comfortable owning the end-to-end product lifecycle from strategy to execution.
