AI Summary

The role focuses on creating high-performing, short-form social media videos using CapCut for platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Responsibilities include iterating on hooks, managing fast turnaround times, and collaborating with marketing teams to improve video performance.

About the role

We’re looking for a Video Editor who lives and breathes short-form social content. Not long-form. Not cinematic brand videos. Not “edit once and move on.”

Your sole focus will be editing high-performing social media videos using CapCut only.

You’ll take raw footage and turn it into fast, engaging, scroll-stopping content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.

You’ll work closely with our content and marketing teams to iterate quickly, test hooks, and improve performance—video after video.


What you'll do

  • Edit short-form social media videos using CapCut only
  • Add captions, on-screen text, emojis, zooms, cuts, and visual pacing optimized for retention
  • Turn talking-head videos, screen recordings, and raw clips into polished social content
  • Follow proven content structures while improving them over time
  • Maintain consistent brand style across all videos
  • Hit fast turnaround times and manage multiple edits per day
  • Iterate based on performance feedback and creative direction
  • Collaborate closely with content, marketing, and leadership teams

What we're looking for

  • Have 1–3+ years of experience editing short-form social media content
  • Are highly proficient in CapCut (this is non-negotiable)
  • Understand pacing, hooks, retention, and why people stop scrolling
  • Can make content feel dynamic, punchy, and modern
  • Move fast without sacrificing quality, ability to manage volume and deadlines consistently
  • Follow instructions closely and execute with precision
  • Thrive in a remote, high-speed, entrepreneurial environment
  • Are detail-oriented and take pride in clean, polished work
  • Understanding of TikTok / Reels / Shorts style editing
  • Experience adding captions, text animations, sound effects, and quick cuts
  • Strong communication and responsiveness in a remote team


What success looks like

  • You're editing high-quality videos with minumin changes required after 30 days.
  • You're hitting your weekly video quota
  • You've earned trust from the team and the company
  • You've understood our creative direction and added value to it


What we offer

  • Fully remote position with a flexible work schedule
  • Competitive base salary
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Anniversary loyalty bonuses
  • Company-sponsored health insurance
  • Generous PTO that increases with tenure (up to 30 days per year)
  • Birthday PTO day
  • 7 U.S. paid holidays
  • 5 paid sick days per year
  • Bereavement leave
  • Additional unpaid personal leave available
  • Home office stipend for equipment and workspace upgrades
  • Computer replacement stipend
  • Monthly internet allowance (increases with tenure)
  • Professional development and training programs
  • Education support for high performers
  • A collaborative, supportive team culture where people are genuinely invested in each other's success
  • A fast-moving environment where your work has real visibility and direct impact
  • Clear path to growth: we promote from within and reward people who perform

How our hiring process works:

We are a fully remote company, and our hiring process reflects that. The first stages are completely asynchronous: no surprise calls, no scheduling pressure. You will complete a short written application and, if selected, move through an async assessment at your own pace. Candidates who advance through the initial stages will then be invited to schedule a live interview.

We communicate clearly at every step and respect your time throughout!
