Software Engineer, Media & Intelligence at Loom

San Francisco, CA / Remote

Working at Atlassian

Atlassian acquired Loom to lead in remote first, asynchronous work. With Loom's async video expertise and Atlassian's team collaboration understanding, we aim to innovate and empower customers for richer collaboration. Join us on our mission to make the impossible possible.

Atlassians can choose where they work whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Your future team

Loom is the video communication platform for async work that helps companies communicate better at scale. The Media & Intelligence Team lives at the heart of Loom's product development, providing a set of libraries, services, platforms, and APIs used across our systems to power recording, playback, editing, and advanced AI features.
