About the role
About our work
Kino AI is building Cursor for video editing. We serve both top studios and YouTubers, and we make editing more productive and enjoyable.
We're a deeply technical team from MIT, SpaceX, and NASA. We're backed by Y Combinator, AI Grant, and many others.
Kino is about to launch a consumer product that’s already in use at major Hollywood studios. We need more engineers, deeper integration within current firms, and added capabilities. We’re very excited about this next phase!
What you'll do
Kino rapidly ingests and indexes users’ footage so that they can search, preview and compile standout moments with a Cursor-like UI and chat-powered workflow. Our unique architecture allows us to integrate with legacy apps like Adobe Premiere and serve the best AI models available.
To contribute to the product, you will engage in:
- Performant full stack web development in React, rendering large amounts of data
- Development of asynchronous AI inference pipelines that improves Kino’s understanding of user footage
- Systematic improvements to the Kino Agent, which edits footage on the user’s behalf via the Chat panel
- Improvement Kino’s agency over the user’s editing software (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, etc.)
- Work in Postgres with real-time sync
You will incorporate principles of fields that have been around for a long time: system design, computer graphics, information retrieval, computer vision, NLP, high performance web development, and filmmaking.
Tech Stack
- NextJS hosted on Vercel, Tailwind
- Serverless GPU workers for media processing and AI analysis
