  • Shape narrative pacing. Knowing when to linger, when to cut, and when to simplify.
  • Build cohesive short films from script to final cut.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, staying organized across different stages of AI generation (these tools have wait times; multitasking is part of the job).

  • Agency, independent production company, or freelance experience all welcome.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere (required) and Adobe Suite / Photoshop.
  • A cinematic eye. You understand framing, mood, and visual storytelling beyond the basics.
  • Strong editing instincts and a sharp sense of timing.
  • Confidence making creative decisions independently.
  • Detail oriented without losing sight of the bigger story.
  • Comfortable working from script and shaping narrative arcs.
  • Genuine curiosity about AI tools. Hands on AI experience is a plus.
Who We Are Looking For:
  • Autonomous
  • Bring solutions instead of problems
  • Data driven
  • Quick to action
  • A high functioning workaholic
  • Looking for exponential career growth
  • Have lots of fun building a generational AI x Entertainment company
What We'll Offer:
  • 401k plan, designed to help you save for the future

  • Dog friendly offices 
$90,000 - $110,000 a year
Salary is determined based on the candidate's experience, skills, and alignment with the requirements of the role, as well as internal equity and market benchmarks.
