With a loyal following of over 3.8 million subscribers, Fireship specializes in delivering bite-sized, informative, and entertaining tech content that makes complex topics easy to understand.

We are looking for talented and creative freelance Video Editors to join our remote content production team. The ideal candidates will have experience in story-based video editing and a strong interest in technology, coding, and development. If you have experience creating tutorial-based or tech-oriented videos, this will be a huge advantage.

• Collaborate closely with creators and scriptwriters to ensure alignment with the overall storytelling vision, while demonstrating initiative and producing high-quality work that meets expectations
• Maintain organised project files and documentation to ensure easy access to assets and seamless collaboration with team members.

• Strong attention to detail, ensuring consistency in the use of fonts, colors, styles, and visual elements as per the Fireship brand, while elevating the production value.

• A passion for technology, programming, and digital content creation, with a keen interest in staying up-to-date on industry trends and best practices.
• YouTube is your primary source of media for education and entertainment, such that you have an innate ability to craft YouTube videos that maximise engagement and audience retention.
• Competence in popular coding and programming languages, especially experience working as a software developer or building digital projects
• Flexible working hours in order to collaborate with colleagues across European and US time zones
