Ownership
Not Just Accountability

If you see yourself working just as a means to get a salary, we totally respect that, but it’s not the type of mentality we seek. On the other hand, if your spouse/friends keep telling you that you have to stop caring so much about your work and your answer is “this project is my baby” that’s the exact sense of ownership we are looking for.

What You Will Be Doing

We are seeking a talented Offline Video Content Editor to join our team full-time. Your primary responsibility will be to deliver engaging video content rough cuts for various platforms, including:

YouTube Educational Videos
Product Videos

Your role’s main objectives:

Edit video content with a deep understanding of storytelling and viewer engagement strategies.
Identify and enhance hooks, omit content that detracts from viewer interest, and structure both short and long-form content for maximum impact.
Collaborate with the Head of Video Content, Online Editor, CMO, Animator, and Head of Brand to align projects with overall marketing goals.
Deliver high-quality rough cuts that set the foundation for final editing and post-production.

SysAdmin & DevOps

In the “background,” you’ll need to wear a SysAdmin hat to ensure our cloud-based infrastructure runs smoothly and scales. That involves things like:

You’ll also deal with some DevOps to help the engineering team (& yourself) work more efficiently. E.g., automating testing & deployments using CI/CD.
