These abilities help ensure content is both high-quality and optimized for rapid consumption, driving views, shares, and audience growth in a competitive digital landscape.

We value open, yet respectful communication and real-time feedback to help each other grow quickly. If you're passionate about gaming and have a knack for gamifying everyday life, you'll thrive in our fast-moving, collaborative environment.
About the Role
We're looking for a Social Content Producer who is deeply fluent in short-form video and platform-native content. This role is all about creating content that performs-driving views, engagement, and growth across channels.
You'll concept, produce, and iterate on content across Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, with a strong focus on what resonates in real time. This is a hands-on, fast-moving role for someone who is both creative and metrics-driven.

  • Develop content tailored to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Twitter/X.
  • Rapidly iterate on content based on performance metrics and trends.

  • Contribute to and evolve the brand voice, tone, and visual identity.
  • Monitor social trends and proactively create content that taps into cultural moments.
  • Collaborate with marketing, product, and creator teams on campaigns and launches.
  • Track and report on content performance, identifying what drives growth and engagement.

What We're Looking For
  • 1-5 years of experience creating short-form social content.
  • Proven experience developing content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Twitter/X.
  • Strong creative instincts with a clear understanding of what makes content perform.
  • Demonstrated success in growing social channels, with metrics to back it up (views, engagement, follower growth, etc.).
  • Ability to both concept and execute content independently.
  • Strong understanding of branding and how content shapes brand perception.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-output environment.

What Stands Out
  • You are extremely online-deeply in tune with trends, formats, and internet culture.
  • Strong meme literacy and instinct for what will resonate.
  • Experience creating content that has gone viral or consistently outperformed benchmarks.
  • Ability to balance speed with quality and brand consistency.
  • Experience working with creators or influencer-driven content.

Success in This Role Looks Like
  • Consistently shipping high-performing short-form content.
  • Driving measurable growth across social channels.
  • Elevating and evolving the favorited brand through content.
  • Identifying and acting on trends faster than the market.

Salary & Benefits
Compensation:
  • Junior: $31-38 / hour
  • Mid-level: $75k - $95k base salary

Benefits Include:
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • 401(k) plan with a match.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid company holidays.
  • Competitive salary.
