**SUMMARY**
Hi, we’re TRASH, a video app startup that uses hot-off-the-presses academic research and our own in-house innovations in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Computational Cinematography to make videos edit themselves. Backed by some of the best early-stage institutional funds, we’re a small, fun diverse team of startup veterans, PhDs, and content creators based out of NYC and LA. We’re a design-driven company, meaning users and the user experience comes first, always!

We are currently seeking a Backend Software Engineer to become an integral part of our crew!

**THE GIG**
You’ll be responsible for a database-backed consumer video app that relies on Node and GraphQL. Besides streaming video and maintaining customer account functions, you’ll be working with our machine learning team to provide SOTA AI video editing and content retrieval to support the AI running in our iOS app.
Most importantly, we’re seeking someone who wants to take on a challenge, think outside the box, and work with a diverse and world-class team to build something truly memorable. This stuff is hard, and a whole lot of fun!
Our current stack is Python, Node.js, GraphQL, Postgres, and several AWS components. Swift skills are a plus for integrating with our iOS app.
Oh! Did I mention, you will do all of this 100% remotely with health benefits and lots of flexibility!

3+ years of experience with Node.js as a backend developer
