We're looking for an editor who knows why a video works, not just how to make it look good. Flashy transitions don't keep people watching; a strong hook, tight pacing and the right moment do. You'll cut short-form and long-form for founders, brands and creators, turn things around fast, and run a lot of experiments with us along the way.

- Location: Bengaluru, on-site
- You'll work with: our strategists, writers and production team, and sometimes clients directly
- Experience: proof matters more than years. Show us edits that performed.

What you'll do
- Edit for retention, not decoration. Build every cut around the hook, the pacing and the payoff. Every effect has to earn its place.
- Work on short-form and long-form. Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn videos and ads on one side; podcasts, interviews and YouTube videos on the other.
- Turn long-form into clips. Find the moments in a podcast or interview that will travel, and cut them into clips that stand on their own.
- Turn things around fast. Same-day edits when a trend or news moment won't wait, and quick revision cycles on everything else.
- Run experiments. Test different hooks, formats, lengths, captions and styles, track what wins, and bring the learnings into the next edit.
- Wear multiple hats. Jump in on a shoot, write a caption, design a thumbnail or suggest a better hook when the project needs it.
- Explain your choices. Tell the team and clients why an edit is built the way it is, and why one version should beat another.

Who we're looking for
- You understand what works on social, and why. You can watch a reel and tell us where people drop off and what kept them watching.
- You're robust at both short-form and long-form. Both formats are in your portfolio, not just one.
- You're fast without being sloppy. Quick turnarounds are normal here,



and the quality still holds.
- You're flexible. Formats, styles and priorities will change as we experiment, and that excites you instead of annoying you.
- You're proactive. You pitch ideas, flag problems early and try a new version before anyone asks.
- You're hungry. Basic editing is getting automated, so you're pushing to be the editor that AI can't replace: sharper taste, better judgement, faster output.

How you workAI already handles a lot of the grunt work in editing. We want someone who uses that to go faster and spend more time on the parts only a person can do.
- You're fluent in a pro editor, like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut. After Effects or motion design is a plus.
- You use AI tools every day for captions, rough cuts, clipping, cleanup, voice and visuals, and you can show how they speed up your workflow.
- You're always testing new tools and bring the useful ones to the team.
- You build systems: templates, presets and workflows that make the next edit faster than the last.

Show us your workWe shortlist on proof of work, not CVs. Send us:
1. Your best edits: three to five short-form pieces and at least one long-form piece, with views or results where you have them.
2. One breakdown: pick one of your edits and tell us why you cut it the way you did. Cover the hook, the pacing and what you'd change now.
3. Your toolkit: the tools and AI workflows you use, and how they make you faster.

Shortlisted candidates get a quick edit test: we send raw footage, and you send back a short-form cut within 24 hours. Bonus points
- You run your own page or channel and know what it takes to grow one.
- You've clipped podcasts or long interviews into clips that went viral.
- You can shoot basic footage yourself when there's no crew.
- You can design thumbnails and carousels.
