What is a Post Production Editor?

A Post Production Editor is a professional responsible for assembling, editing, and refining video and audio footage after filming is complete. They use specialized software to cut, arrange, and enhance content, ensuring the final product meets creative and technical standards. Their work often includes color correction, sound editing, adding effects, and collaborating with directors or producers to achieve the desired vision. Post Production Editors play a crucial role in film, television, advertising, and online media industries.

What is the difference between Post Production Editor vs Video Editor?

AspectPost Production EditorVideo Editor
CredentialsTypically requires a degree in film, media, or related field; proficiency in editing softwareOften has similar credentials; strong editing skills and software knowledge
Work EnvironmentWorks in post-production facilities, editing suites, or studiosWorks in similar environments, often on freelance or in-house projects
Industry UsageCommonly used in film, television, and digital media productionUsed across various media including online content, commercials, and films

While both roles involve editing video content, a Post Production Editor typically handles the final assembly of footage, ensuring seamless flow and quality, often working on larger projects like films or TV shows. A Video Editor may work on a broader range of projects, including shorter videos and online content, focusing on editing and assembling raw footage into a finished product.

What are some common challenges faced by Post Production Editors when working with tight deadlines?

Post Production Editors often work under tight deadlines, especially in fast-paced industries like advertising and broadcast media. Managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high-quality standards can be challenging. Editors must be adept at prioritizing tasks, communicating clearly with producers and directors, and quickly troubleshooting technical issues. Efficient workflow organization and familiarity with editing software shortcuts can help streamline the process and ensure timely delivery.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Post Production Editor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Post Production Editor, you need expertise in video editing, color correction, and a solid understanding of storytelling, usually supported by experience or a degree in film, media, or a related field. Proficiency in industry-standard software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and After Effects is essential, and certifications in these tools can be beneficial. Strong attention to detail, creativity, and the ability to collaborate effectively with directors and producers are vital soft skills. These competencies ensure that the final product meets creative standards and production deadlines, resulting in polished and impactful visual content.

Job description

POST-PRODUCTION BUILDER WANTED
Post-Production Automation Engineer
Build the systems that make our creative team superhuman.
Role: Post-Production Automation Engineer
Location: Los Angeles, CA (Remote-Friendly)
Compensation: $120,000-$160,000
Reports to: VP of Post-Production
About TubeScience
TubeScience is a data-driven creative studio producing performance advertising at massive scale - and we're growing fast. We're looking for a Post-Production Automation Engineer to be the most technically sophisticated person on our post team.
The Role
This is a builder role - for someone genuinely excited about where AI and automation are taking Post-Production. You'll own our automation and AI roadmap from day one, with the autonomy to identify problems and ship solutions without waiting to be asked. You are the product lead, the architect, and the builder - all in one.
What You'll Own
Automation & AI Engineering
Architect end-to-end automation across ingest, QC, editing, delivery, and archival
Deploy LLMs, generative video platforms, and intelligent metadata/tagging systems
Design agent-based workflows that eliminate manual effort
Evaluate emerging AI tooling and own build-vs-buy decisions
Systems Architecture & Integration
Own our Iconik MAM: custom actions, metadata schemas, transcoding, and API integrations
Build REST API and webhook integrations across post tools and third-party platforms
Develop automation pipelines in n8n, Make, or Zapier - or go custom in Python/JS
Design for resilience: logging, error handling, alerting, and monitoring
Scripting & Tool Development
Write production-grade Python and JS/Node.js scripts across Adobe Creative Suite
Build internal tools that give editors superpowers without exposing the complexity
Build and maintain Adobe CEP/UXP panels inside the tools editors already use
R&D & Proactive Improvement
Audit the post pipeline for bottlenecks before the team surfaces them
Prototype emerging tech - AI, ML, new codecs, cloud-native media workflows
Own the Post-Production tooling roadmap with minimal oversight
Collaboration & Documentation
Translate Post-Production creative needs into precise technical requirements
Align with core engineering on infrastructure, deployment, and architecture
Document every system thoroughly so the team can run it confidently
Serve as final escalation for complex technical issues the post team can't resolve
What We're Looking For
4-6+ years in post-production engineering or workflow automation - high-volume advertising or broadcast preferred
Strong Python and/or JavaScript/Node.js - clean, production-grade code
Proven REST API integration experience with solid edge-case handling
Expert-level Iconik MAM experience strongly preferred
Hands-on with LLMs, generative AI, and orchestration tools (n8n, Make, Zapier or equivalent)
Deep fluency in codecs, containers, color pipelines, and shared storage (e.g. LucidLink)
Adobe Creative Suite scripting experience - CEP/UXP panel dev a strong plus
Working knowledge of AWS or Google Cloud and cloud-native media workflows
Genuine passion for post-production and excitement about transforming it with technology
+ Bonus Points
Experience with AI video generation tools (Runway, Veo, Sora) in production
Background in high-volume performance advertising or broadcast
Multi-step agentic pipeline design or large-scale workflow orchestration
Open-source contributions in the media/post-production space
Experience with data pipelines or BI tooling connected to production metadata

Unlimited PTO
401(k) + Matching
