Who this fits
You’ll fit a small, remote, asynchronous team where editors take real ownership and contribute creatively. The role is open from anywhere in the world, including India, and suits someone who wants a route toward senior or lead creative work. The hiring process includes a portfolio, a personality test, a video-edit assessment, and a team interview.
From the employer
We build content engines for brands, creators, and entrepreneurs. Our clients include Apple, Snapchat, Liquid Death, Golden Goose, Poppi, and MGK.
Our founders are editors. We've spent years in the timeline and we can tell in 10 seconds if someone's faking it. We're not hiring to fill a seat — we're looking for someone who's obsessed with the work.
If you want to coast, this isn't the place.
What you'll do
Cut short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) for major clients. You'll have direct creative input on hooks, pacing, and storytelling. We move fast and expect our editors to lead, not wait for direction.
What we need from you
A portfolio that proves you can hold attention in under 60 seconds. You edit in Adobe — Premiere Pro and After Effects, no exceptions. You can take raw footage and build something people can't skip. You're fast, you're reliable, and you have a point of view about your edits.
What you get
Work on content for brands people actually know. Fully remote, async, from anywhere in the world. Small team, no bureaucracy, real ownership over your work. A clear path into a senior or lead creative role.
Our hiring process
Three steps. No runaround.
- Application — submit your portfolio
- Assessment — a short personality test and one video edit so we can see how you think and cut
- Interview — a conversation with our team
