Full Job Description
We are hiring a Senior Video Editor to own the craft of our most important work: customer case studies, sit-down interviews, and product demos that look and feel like they came out of a top-tier studio.

About the role

This is not a social-clips role. We are looking for a genuinely talented editor who has shipped larger, higher-quality projects and can carry a piece from raw footage to a polished, broadcast-grade final cut. The ideal person is both a shooter and an editor, comfortable behind a camera on a shoot day and equally at home in the timeline.

You will work directly with our marketing leadership on flagship content, with real creative ownership and a high bar for taste, pacing, and finish.

What you'll do
  • Edit customer case studies, sit-down interviews, and product demos into polished, story-driven films.
  • Own post-production end to end: assembly, story structure, pacing, sound design, and color.
  • Shoot when needed, on location and in studio, as a hybrid shooter-editor.
  • Color grade footage to a clean, cinematic standard inside DaVinci Resolve.
  • Collaborate on creative direction and bring your own ideas, not just execute a brief.
What we're looking for
  • A strong portfolio of larger, high-quality projects. We want to see range across long-form and narrative work, not only social edits.
  • Real editing talent with excellent instincts for pacing, story, and audio.
  • Experience in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and a willingness to edit in DaVinci Resolve (we standardize on it for color and team collaboration).
  • The ability to take a project from footage to finish with minimal hand-holding.
  • Comfortable being a shooter as well as an editor. This is a strong plus, not a hard requirement.
Nice to have
  • Hands-on experience shooting with Sony FX3.
  • Color grading in S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine inside DaVinci Resolve.
  • Motion graphics and animation chops (helpful, not required).
  • 3D ability in Blender for custom renders. This would be a real differentiator for us, though it is not necessary.
Location

San Francisco is strongly preferred. We have a tight-knit in-office culture and being in person makes collaboration and shoot days far easier. Remote is possible for an exceptional candidate.

Compensation

$70,000-$100,000, depending on experience and whether you bring shooting ability alongside editing. This role is cash compensation.

How to apply

Apply through our Ashby posting and include a link to your portfolio. Show us a clear scope of the work you have done: the kind of projects, your specific role on each, and the pieces you are proudest of. We care most about high-quality, larger projects, so lead with those.
