Jobbeschreibung

Job Responsibilities

• Cut shorts (LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Instagram) - 60-90 seconds, sound‑off‑first, hook in 3 seconds. Multiple per week.
• Assist our senior editors on long‑form (8‑15 min cam+screen pieces, customer story documentaries, the Tars 3.0 launch hero piece).
• Own captions, sound design, B‑roll selection, color, and pacing on your own cuts. We're not going to micromanage these decisions – we expect you to make them and defend them.
• Work directly with the founders and the existing content team.
• Watch the numbers. Retention curves, hook drop‑off, comment quality. Adjust your next cut accordingly.

Requirements

• You already edit. Anywhere – YouTube, Instagram, freelance, college work, a friend’s podcast. The pattern matters more than the platform.
• You have a public portfolio. Not a Behance Pro account – just somewhere we can watch your work without asking. YouTube channel, IG reel grid, a Google Drive folder, a personal site – all fine.
• You’re fluent in at least one NLE – Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut Pro. We don’t care which. We do care that you actually know it well, not three of them at surface level.
• You have opinions. About pacing. About when to cut. About when not to cut. About what makes captions readable vs. annoying. About when music helps and when it’s noise. You can defend those opinions on camera.
• You’re curious about AI, software, and how businesses use technology. You don’t need to know the category – but you need to want to learn it.
• You’re in India, available for 6 months, comfortable working mostly async with a few syncs a week.
