Product Engineer

Role Description

We’re looking for a Product Engineer to join our team and help us build cutting-edge, AI-powered video creation and collaboration tools. Rather than specialists, we’re seeking curiosity-driven engineers who are thoughtful problem solvers and thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments. Our engineering team is highly collaborative and works on a wide variety of exciting challenges, including:

• Developing new interfaces for AI content creation
• Building LLM-powered features and conversational experiences
• Deploying cutting-edge computer vision and generative models to production

A peek at our technical stack:

• The rich UI of our generative AI tools is powered by TypeScript and React
• MediaBunny driving in-browser media
• React Flow powering our node-based creative workflows
• API endpoints for user and media management are written in TypeScript and Node.js
• Deployed as containerized services on AWS ECS Fargate
• Leveraging AI APIs to power advanced generative capabilities

What you’ll do:

• Create rich multimedia interfaces using the cutting edge of the latest AI video generation models Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0
• Build end-to-end full-stack AI-powered product features — designing and developing both frontend experiences and backend systems, including authoring server-side processes and APIs that power our generative AI tools
• Design and implement LLM-powered features and conversational interfaces
• Partner with a world-class engineering team pushing the boundaries of creativity and content creation on the browser
• Take on new challenges across the Frontend stack to implement product features for Runway’s machine learning based generative AI tools
• Improve the performance, reliability, and code quality of our codebases

Qualifications

• 3+ years of industry experience in a software engineering role, ideally full-stack focused
• Demonstrated fluency of one or more programming languages, including but not limited to JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience building with third-party AI APIs (e.g., chatbots, LLM integrations)
• Experience in architecting production-ready systems and familiarity with debugging and profiling tools
• Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and iterate on them with tight product deadlines
• Humility and open mindedness; at Runway we love to learn from one another

Benefits

• Competitive salary ranges based on market rates for our size, stage, and industry
• Consideration of candidates with varying levels of experience
• Open communication regarding salary expectations
