Flexible Video Encoding Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

About Streamlly

Streamlly is a cinematic journalism and human storytelling network. We produce short-form news recreations and human-interest films - our "StoryBreaks" - and distribute them where people already watch: connected TV and OTT, programmatic display, digital out-of-home (DOOH) screens, and social platforms. We hold a high editorial bar and an equally high production bar, and we hire W-2 with full benefits in an industry that defaults to freelance.

The Role

You take a finished master - key art, poster, or a locked video edit - and turn it into every version each platform requires, on spec and on deadline. This is the role that makes one piece of work show up correctly everywhere: the right aspect ratio, the right runtime, the right file format, the right captions. Because we cover breaking news, turnaround can be fast, so reliability and precision under a tight clock matter as much as craft.

What You'll Do

• Adapt master posters, key art, and stills into platform-specific sizes: social (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9), programmatic display (IAB standard units), DOOH layouts (portrait and landscape, high resolution), thumbnails, and end cards.
• Version master video edits for each destination: trims and runtime cuts, reframes and safe-area adjustments for vertical and square, platform encoding specs, and bitrate/format requirements for CTV/OTT vs. social vs. DOOH.
• Build and burn in or attach captions and subtitles, and help us meet accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.1 AA, CVAA) across CTV/OTT distribution.
• Keep brand and editorial consistency across every output - typography, lockups, disclosure language, and our cinematic look - without drifting from the approved master.
• Manage assets cleanly: clear file naming, organized exports, version control, and tidy handoffs to distribution and ad ops.
• Work from locked masters and our spec sheets, flagging anything that won't translate to a given platform before it becomes a problem.
• Where possible, build reusable templates and batch/export workflows so versioning gets faster over time.

What You Bring

• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud - Photoshop and Illustrator for static, Premiere Pro and After Effects for video, and Media Encoder for output.
• A real grasp of platform specifications across social, programmatic, CTV/OTT, and DOOH, and the discipline to hit them exactly.
• Hands-on experience with fast-turnaround design and video tools such as Canva, Opus Clip, CapCut, Adobe Express, or similar - and the judgment to know when a quick-tool output is good enough vs. when a piece needs to be finished in the full suite.
• Comfort with captioning/subtitle files (e.g., SRT/VTT) and an understanding of accessibility basics.
• A sharp eye for detail and brand consistency, and the judgment to keep adaptations faithful to the master.
• The ability to move quickly and stay organized when a breaking-news piece needs to ship the same day.

Nice to Have

• Motion graphics and design skills beyond pure versioning.
• Hands-on experience with DOOH or programmatic display specs and ad-ops handoffs.
• Familiarity with template-driven or automated resizing/export workflows.
• Exposure to a DSP / programmatic distribution environment.

Details

• Employment: Full-time (25-40 hours a week), W-2.
• Work arrangement: Primarily remote / work-from-home with flexible scheduling, plus some in-office production days. You must reside in Florida and be able to travel to Sarasota or Tampa as needed.
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, and life insurance; 401(k); and flexible paid time off.
