Video Editor

About

is a Y Combinator-backed AI customer support platform trusted by enterprises such as Mollie TicketSwap and MoneyGram. Were a small high-output team building AI that actually works and we move fast. LinkedIn is a core growth channel for us and our content lands in front of CEOs founders and C-level operators every day. We need a video editor who can match our energy and make that content impossible to scroll past.

The Role

Were not hiring someone to make polished corporate videos. Were hiring a video editor someone who lives and breathes kinetic short-form storytelling with the production polish of a top-tier tech reviewer. Your job: make our LinkedIn videos so compelling that stopping the scroll feels involuntary to a busy CEO halfway through their morning.

Youll own the full editing pipeline from raw talking-head footage to a punchy high-retention LinkedIn video ready to post.

What Youll Do

Retention-first storytelling:

- Nail the first 3 seconds of every video like your job depends on it (because it does)

- Edit talking-head LinkedIn videos in a fast word-by-word caption style synced to every syllable

- Build zoom punches text pops glitch transitions and motion blur sequences that feel native to short-form

- Land frame-perfect cuts timed to speech rhythm breath pauses and musical beats nothing cuts by accident

Cinematic polish:

- Execute cinematic color grading with custom LUTs matched skin tones and a consistent look across every clip

- Deliver pristine audio: noise reduction EQ de-essing compression and music ducking that lets speech breathe

- Mix sound design directly into the audio bed wooshes pops clicks and risers timed to the frame

- Stabilize reframe and clean every shot no shaky footage no off-axis horizons no sloppy keyframes

Brand and visual system:

- Design floating lower thirds name tags and call-to-action end cards that feel brand-native not template-y

- Cut subjects from backgrounds and create the floating professional look

- Produce and integrate B-roll that serves the narrative stock screen recordings product shots match cuts

- Maintain a tight 3-color palette and matching type system across every video with pixel-perfect consistency

Ownership and throughput:

- Build reusable motion graphic templates so output scales without sacrificing polish

- Review every frame like its going on a billboard: obsess over details most viewers wont consciously notice but will feel

- Deliver 24 polished videos per week consistently and on deadline without quality drift
