    VP / Head of Engineering at Descript (We're Hiring)

    It was great to chat with Lachlan de Crespigny about hiring and scaling the engineering team at Descript in the last ~4.5 years and the choices we made along the way at different stages of the company. If you're an engineering leader scaling your team, hopefully you'll find this conversation helpful in your journey. .... and in case you were wondering, yes, this was recorded and edited using Descript by the talented Steve Patrizi -- thanks for the opportunity Steve :)

Here’s the session overview: * * * AI as Your Underlord: The Future of Storytelling with AI Creative Assistants Join Andrew Mason for an exploration into the future of AI-powered creativity and communication. More than 6 million creators and teams use Descript’s video-editing platform to power their podcasting, marketing, sales, and internal education and training. With AI features including automatic transcription, translation, captions, clips, voices, eye contact, green screen, video regenerate, and studio sound, Descript delivers an AI editorial assistant that tackles the tedium, and leaves the creative stuff—and control—to you. Come on a journey to discover how Descript got started, and raised $100M in funding; how the rise of generative AI has impacted their product vision and roadmap; and how Mason thinks about the future of marketing, creativity, ethics, and innovation. * * * Join us in Cleveland, Sept. 10 - 12 for MAICON to see Andrew’s keynote, plus 68 other incredible sessions designed to accelerate AI literacy and transformation. https://lnkd.in/ewWWpwx

    Yesterday we introduced Descript Rooms, our new integrated, collaborative recording studio. We’re talking reliable 4K multitrack recording and an effortless guest experience, and of course, it’s seamlessly integrated into Descript—so pretty much as soon as you hit stop, you're ready to start editing. We’ll be letting folks into the Rooms beta very soon. To be one of the first to try it, give us feedback, and help us build the recording tool podcasters ought to have, join the waitlist now.
