About Papercup
Backed by leading venture capital funds and two media companies, Papercup is a machine learning startup making the world's video content watchable in any language.

Engineering at Papercup
- Don’t stick to specific dogma. We don't believe there is a single solution or methodology that fits all companies. At Papercup we study different solutions, and adapt them to our use case.
- Everyone is a problem solver. If you have an idea for a better system or process, then you have a voice. We all participate in discussions by proposing and commenting on RFCs. You can, and should help build out our development practices.
- We are all geeks. We all love learning and trying out new tools, learn new techniques. Some of the events we host to foster a learning culture are:
- Papercup University - every two weeks a member of the team presents to the whole company a topic they are passionate about.
- FullStack DevMeeting - every two weeks developers from the product team gather to share their thoughts on the latest technologies in the field.
- Learning Week - you can take a week a year to spend time learning about topics that are relevant to them.
- No silos, everybody works with everybody. All teams work together to help to improve each other's processes.
Why you should consider us?
- We are not a typical web application. The bulk of our time is spent on building internal tooling for the team to produce videos. This means,we have a very tight closed loop of feedback, quick release cycles, and don't have to support all browsers (did you hear that? Never shall you hear again words "This doesn't work on IE11", because it doesn't).
- As an engineering team, we have a lot of trust and autonomy within the company to invest time into our infrastructure, code and tooling. This was written by Engineers, so you know
