Director of Memory Experiences

The Opportunity

This dynamic position is vital to our lasting success. Our mission is to enable users to relive their backstory. Our Memory Experiences need to be nothing short of mind-blowing. You will be responsible for building beyond simple montages and slide-shows to immersive, cinematic experiences. 

Backstory, launching to the public soon, is creating a new category of entertainment called Memory Experiences. Users' Backstories (their organized, curated, and privately-shared collection of their past) are the foundation for us to deliver incredible memory experiences.

• Extensive experience with post-production processes

• Deep knowledge on the history and evolution of filmmaking

• A demonstration of creative and outside-the-box thinking

• Succinct and clear communication skills

• Experience in product development and working alongside software engineers

Working at Backstory

Backstory is a small, scrappy start-up founded by proven entrepreneurs who sold their last small, scrappy start-up to a publicly traded company.

• We believe that life is too short to not love where you work.

• When all colleagues champion respect, humility and passion, great things happen.

• We are not a meetings-based company (honestly, we can’t stand most meetings); we’re an actions-based company.

• We roll up our sleeves, work fast, hit our goals and get back to friends and family.

• We’ve practiced and advocated for remote work (work from home) since 2010. We firmly believe that amazing experiences and awesome software don't need to be created in an office.

Success at Backstory

• You self-start, take initiative, stay focused, move fast, and get things done.

• You're self aware and thrive off constructive feedback.

• You challenge, mentor and learn from your peers.

• A contagious commitment to Backstory's success.
