More about this role
Wizard is the AI-native platform for creative work, starting with professional video: a native C++ editor and headless media runtime that humans, agents, and developers all operate.
Own transcription, AI-assisted editing features and local model serving so Wizard's AI works in real time on the desktop.
Our GTM plan hinges on a five-minute demo: raw footage in, Oz assembles a cut, a finished trailer comes out — and the trailer's quality is the test of whether any of this actually works. You're building the transcription and inference layer underneath that demo: the thing that has to be fast, accurate, and running locally on somebody's desktop, not a cloud API with a spinner.
