Video Editor

About the role

About 70% of our users have never coded before. They are small business owners, solo founders, and operators who had an idea and no engineer to build it with. We are hiring an editor to cut the video that goes out across our social channels.

What you'll do

• Edit short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X
• Cut longer interview and demo footage down into both long and short versions
• Build hooks that hold attention through the first three seconds
• Add captions, on-screen text, sound design, and music
• Create simple motion graphics and animated text
• Screen-record and edit product demos so the on-screen action is easy to follow
• Reformat the same piece for different platforms and aspect ratios
• Manage footage, keep project files organised, and maintain a usable asset library

What they're looking for

• At least 4 years editing short-form social video, with work we can watch
• Strong command of Premiere Pro or Final Cut, plus After Effects
• A reel that shows range across talking head, demo, and narrative-driven formats
• Ability to deliver several finished pieces a week without the quality dropping
• Good ear for music and sound design
• Understanding of what editing conventions currently work on US and European feeds
• Based in Bangalore, or willing to relocate

Nice to have

• Experience shooting as well as editing
• Motion design or 3D work
• Experience editing software or product demos
• Comfort using AI tools in the workflow, for rough cuts, captions, or cleanup
