Overview
Software Engineering Manager: Shaping the future of video
Clipchamp is the go-to video platform with one simple mission: to empower anyone to tell stories worth sharing. Since 2016 we’ve attracted over 50 million registered users globally and counting, and that’s only the beginning. We've now joined Microsoft's Office Product Group (OPG).
Building and maintaining strong connections across location and time is critical in the world we live in, and the emotional power of media – video, audio, and photos – makes it perfect for fostering personal connections and sharing information.
Our in-browser platform and native Windows app gives users access to professional video editing tools and features alongside a 1 million asset-strong stock library and hundreds of editable video templates. We're the go-to platform that's built with everyday editors and creators in mind.
About the Team
While Clipchamp is predominantly based in Australia, OPG is a global team, with offices in multiple countries. Joining Clipchamp means you'll join a team of colleagues who live all around the world. We’re committed to each team member feeling connected, regardless of where they work and live.
At Clipchamp, we endeavour to innovate. We believe the path to innovation lies in valuing questions, craving feedback and exploring new ideas. Team members are encouraged to take ownership and drive change, and we’ll support you in receiving the resources needed to get the job done.

1. 2+ years managing software engineering teams

5. Great communication – you can consider others’ ideas, implement new methods, surface and resolve disagreements and empathize with users without breaking a sweat
6. Ambition to get things done, now, the fast lane, no bureaucracy, idleness is boring
Bonus points if you love:
7. Online video and contributing to the technically challenging problems we’re solving
8. Maxing out what browsers can do, that’s what we’re about! We were told you can’t build a video editing platform in browser, including encoding the final video – but we did
