Video Editor

We need a video editor who understands short-form content at a molecular level. Not someone who slaps clips together. Someone who understands that every frame is fighting for three seconds of attention in an infinite scroll.

This is a fully remote freelance role.

We're building the next best content lab in India, and we're doing it with the best talent wherever they are. Our content has been shared by Paul Graham. Andrew Huberman follows our work. Leading VCs, YC founders, and tech leaders regularly engage with what we produce. This isn't aspirational - it's our baseline.

What This Role Actually Is

You'll edit for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn videos. That's the core. Every cut needs to earn its place in someone's feed through sheer force of pacing, visual hooks, and information density. We're in the business of dopamine hits. If you don't understand how to edit content that makes people stop scrolling, watch till the end, and share - this isn't for you.

Where You'll Work

Anywhere you want. Your setup, your hours, your workflow - as long as the output is exceptional and deadlines are sacred.

We're positioned to become one of the fastest-growing creative agencies in this space, and we're doing it by finding the best editors regardless of location, giving them the best projects, and pushing the boundaries of what content can be.

Core Responsibilities

Visual Storytelling & Assembly

• Take scripts and transform them into fast-paced, engaging short-form videos
• Work with AI avatar footage to create info-heavy reels that don't feel like lectures
• Hunt down the perfect stock footage without waiting for direction
• Build visual systems that make complex ideas instantly digestible

Technical Execution

• Edit primarily in Premiere Pro (or show us you're better with alternatives)
• Master motion graphics, text animations, and transitions that enhance rather than distract
• Maintain visual consistency across different founder and brand accounts
• Use AI tools strategically throughout your workflow

Performance & Iteration

• Track what works and reverse-engineer why
• Kill what doesn't work without attachment
• Build systematic approaches to editing that performs

What We're Looking For

Non-Negotiables

• Mastery of Premiere Pro and/or professional alternatives (DaVinci, Final Cut)
• Portfolio showing short-form content that actually performed - show us the view counts
• Self-sufficient with stock footage sourcing (Pexels, Storyblocks, whatever works)
• Experience creating info-dense content that holds attention
• Ability to take feedback without taking it personally

The Real Requirements

• You consume short-form content obsessively and know why certain videos work
• You understand pacing, hooks, and retention curves instinctively
• You can take a script and see the finished video in your head before you start
• You don't need hand-holding - give you the raw materials and you run with it
• You've created videos that people actually watched and shared

Bonus Points

• Experience with After Effects for motion graphics
• You understand audio mixing and know when a video needs it
• You've worked with AI avatar platforms and know how to make them feel natural
• You can handle the full pipeline from script to export when needed
• You have your own content channel or have grown one for others

The Reality

We work with freelancers who deliver like full-timers. No alignment with our standards? We stop working together. Deliver exceptional work consistently? You'll become our go-to editor with steady projects and performance bonuses that reward quality.

This is not a gig for someone who wants to make safe, corporate videos. It's for someone who wants to push boundaries while maintaining quality that stands up to scrutiny from the smartest people in tech.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive project-based rates
• Performance bonuses for content that crushes it
• Direct access to cutting-edge AI workflows
• Work with founders and companies shaping the future
• Be part of building India's next great content powerhouse

How to Apply

Send us:

• Your best short-form work - particularly reels/shorts with high information density
• Your take on what makes short-form content addictive (keep it under 200 words)

Don't send a generic resume. Show us you understand what exceptional video content looks like.
