Responsibilities
Shape narratives from raw footage (interviews, host segments, product demos, screen recordings)
Build structure, pacing, and emotional rhythm, not just "tight edits"
Deliver locked cuts with final timing and structure before animation begins
Coordinate handoffs with our animator to ensure smooth integration
Color grade in DaVinci Resolve to maintain a consistent, premium look across projects
Mix audio for platform-ready delivery (clean dialogue, balanced music, controlled dynamics)
Manage project files with clear naming, version control, and clean handoffs
Finalize videos after animation and deliver exports across all channels
Create social media cutdowns from bigger projects (short clips, vertical versions, alternate hooks) to keep the marketing calendar full when we have momentum
Qualification
Required
Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven't read up on them yet
Proficiency in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5
3 to 6 years of professional editing experience, ideally for software or technology companies serving professional audiences
Strong narrative instincts. You can pull a clean arc out of a long interview. You know what to cut, what to keep, and when to let a moment breathe. Your portfolio should show work where the edit is doing real work, not just assembling pre-planned shots
Taste and restraint. You know when effects help and when they cheapen. You can make something feel expensive with fewer moves, not more
A 'high trust' operator. Circle gives you real autonomy. You get to make decisions, own your projects, and do your best work with the freedom to explore creative solutions. You care deeply about the brand's integrity, you take feedback well, you're excited to figure things out, and you ship work you're genuinely proud of
Initiative. When a product launch or keynote drops, you see the angles. You pull the best moments, propose cutdowns, and make hay while the sun shines. You don't wait to be asked to create the obvious follow-ups or social media cutdowns
Advanced Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve editing
Solid DaVinci Resolve for color grading
Working knowledge of After Effects for basic compositing and cleanup (not motion design)
Comfortable using Figma for storyboarding
Comfortable using AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Nano Banana to speed up workflows
Comfortable with Notion, Frame.io, Dropbox, and Descript
Experience with modern caption styles and clean text animation
A reliable setup. High speed internet (50+ Mbps upload), professional audio monitoring, and a color-accurate display
Strong process habits. You keep timelines organized, label and version cleanly, protect the project as it evolves, and flag problems early
