Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media. We get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually *do* creative work with them—defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed. All of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs. **Explore our work** [Captions](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/captions-ai-edits-your-video/id1541407007) — Our flagship creative workspace [Tesseract](https://x.com/trymirage/status/2102429594804429138) — Our professional video engine for AI agents [Research](https://mirage.app/research?utm_source=chatgpt.com) — The foundation models we build in-house [Updates](https://x.com/trymirage) — The latest from Mirage [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/mirage-raises-75m-to-continue-building-models-for-its-ai-video-editing-app-captions/), [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/companies/captions/?list=ai50), [Fast Company](https://www.fastcompany.com/91270234/video-most-innovative-companies-fast-company-2025-youtube-roku-tubi-vimeo-captions-descript-cour-procreate-synthesia-beeble) — Press **Our Investors** We’re very fortunate to have some the best investors and entrepreneurs backing us, including **Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz,** **General Catalyst**, Uncommon Projects, Kevin Systrom, Mike Krieger, Lenny Rachitsky, Antoine Martin, Julie Zhuo, Ben Rubin, Jaren Glover, SVAngel, 20VC, Ludlow Ventures, Chapter One, and more. *Please note that all of our roles will require you to be in-person at our NYC HQ (located in Union Square)* **About the role** Our iOS team owns end-to-end product experiences for creative workflows—pushing the boundaries of the iOS ecosystem by building sophisticated creative tools that span delightful user interfaces, graphics rendering, and audio/video processing.
