The posting

We're looking for a Video Editor who will help shape how videos get made at PlanetScale. You'll work with our team to edit and animate YouTube videos, social shorts, conference highlights, case studies, and launch films, with free rein to use any tool that makes them better, including ones that didn't exist six months ago.

AI is reshaping the video editing space in similar ways to how it is transforming software broadly. We're looking for someone who embraces this new world of creating, combining this with your own personal craft to make excellent video content. We give you the room, the tools, and the time to both create and experiment.

What we're looking for

  • A portfolio that shows strong editing across formats. YouTube, short form edits, podcasts, etc.
  • A sharp sense of pacing, structure, and story: you know what to keep, what to cut, and how to time things to maintain an engaged audience.
  • Equal comfort with editing, animation, and design: you can shape a story, incorporate interesting visuals, and set clean, expressive type that reads well on any screen.
  • Fluency in professional editing tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro.
  • Experience using AI tools to create animations, assist with editing, and the curiosity to push the limits of how these can be used in a video creation workflow.
  • Ability to create custom scripts and leverage AI to automate parts of your pipeline, such as transcription, thumbnail ideation, and generating rough edits of large amounts of footage.
  • Work closely with our team to help shape ideas before the edit starts, and iterate on feedback quickly.

What you'll edit

  • YouTube videos, from explainers to interviews, paced to hold attention start to finish.
  • Shorts and vertical clips for social platforms.
  • Conference talks, full-talks from our events and clips to share on socials.
  • Launch videos, where timing, polish, and pacing carry the announcement.
  • Thumbnails, title cards, typography, and motion graphics that go with all of the above.

How you'll work

  • A combination of strong individual editing skills combined with an excitement for how AI can improve the speed and quality at which we create.
  • In close collaboration with the Marketing team at PlanetScale.
  • You'll have time and budget to try new tools.

Bonus points

  • Background in Software Development, or working with Engineering companies
  • Experience editing tech / developer content
  • A channel or account you've grown yourself
  • Experience with code-driven video tools like Remotion
  • A knack for creating engaging thumbnails and titles
  • Sound design and audio mixing skills
  • Experience shooting or directing your own footage
  • Livestream or live event production experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
