Video Editor AI & R&D Focus

We are building a next-generation video editing team focused on speed, innovation, and technical experimentation. This role is for editors who don't just execute workflows they rethink them.

You will be part of a small, elite, full-time team designed to operate at 150%+ the output of a traditional editor, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of how modern video editing is done using AI, automation, scripting, and emerging technologies.

This is not a traditional editing role.

It is 75% production editing, 25% R&D, and 100% forward-looking.

What You'll Do

• Edit high volumes of short-form and long-form video with exceptional speed and quality
• Create mobile-first, platform-native content (TikTok, Shorts, Reels, etc.) alongside traditional formats
• Pull raw footage directly from internal servers and optimize workflows around large media files
• Experiment aggressively with:
  • AI-powered editing tools
  • Automation, scripting, and templates
  • LLMs, prompt-based workflows, and machine-learning-assisted editing
• Build, test, and document new editing systems that improve:
  • Velocity
  • Quality
  • Scalability
  • Cost efficiency
• Present new tools, techniques, and workflows to the broader editing organization
• Help set new norms for how editing is done company-wide
• Absorb a significant volume of edits currently handled externally, helping convert variable costs into a high-performance internal team
• Travel occasionally to:
  • Industry events
  • Local meetups
  • Technology conferences
  • Innovation-focused gatherings

Who This Is For

• This role is for editors who:
  • Love video editing and love technology
  • Actively follow advances in AI, automation, and creative tooling
  • Are comfortable with ambiguity, experimentation, and risk-taking
  • Prefer building new systems over preserving old ones
  • Challenge the status quo rather than defaulting to \"how it's always been done\"
  • Enjoy learning new tools faster than others and proving their value through output
  • Want to demonstrate measurable gains in speed, efficiency, and innovation
  • Are excited to help train and influence other editors by example
  • If you already experiment with AI tools, scripting, automation, or unconventional editing workflows and can show it you'll be at home here.

What Success Looks Like

• Sustained output well above traditional editing benchmarks
• Clear demonstrations of faster workflows through technology
• Adoption of your innovations across the editing team
• Tangible improvements in speed, quality, and scalability
• Documented systems, templates, and processes others can use
• In addition to base compensation, performance incentives are tied directly to innovation, speed improvements, and successful adoption of new technologies.
