Job description

Job Description:

About 30 Sundays

We are an AI-native holiday planning and booking platform built primarily for couples — honeymoons, anniversaries, and the trips people save up for years to take. We plan and book across Bali, the Maldives, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and more, with genuine price transparency, hotels rated 8+ and no tourist traps. We stay with our couples on the trip itself through our app.

We are rated 4.6 on Google. We are a team of IIT-IIM alums with previous work experience of BCG, Apple, Flipkart, Uber, Shuttl and more. In July 2026 we raised ₹61 crore (Series A) led by Bessemer Venture Partners. A meaningful share of that capital is going into brand and marketing — which is exactly why this role exists.

About the role

We are building an in-house studio so our content stops being something we commission and becomes something we make. You would be our second editor, joining one editor, two content creators and a generative video specialist.

The volume matters here. Real creative testing needs enough variants to actually compare - which means you will cut a lot, and cut fast, without letting the quality slide. But this is not a render farm. Our couples are about to spend 2-3 lakhs and a week of hard‑won leave on the strength of a thirty‑second video, so the work has to be genuinely good.

What you will own

• Cutting reels - from a strategist's brief and a creator's footage to a finished, publishable vertical edit


• Pace and rhythm - the first three seconds decide whether anything else in the edit matters


• On-screen text, captions and sound design - done properly, not as an afterthought


• Variants for testing - the same footage cut several ways so we can learn something from the difference


• Turnaround - some edits need to be out the same day; you will know which


• Consistency - our edits should look like they came from one place

What we are looking for

• 3–5 years editing short-form vertical video, ideally for brands rather than only personal projects


• Vertical-native. You think in 9:16 and understand that a reel is not a landscape edit cropped


• Fluent in the tools — Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci.


• You understand pacing as a craft, not a setting. You can explain why a cut lands where it does


• Sound matters to you — music choice, sound design, mix levels


• You take direction well and give it back — if the script is not working, say so before you cut it


• Fast and reliable. This is an always‑on engine, and a missed edit is a missed slot

Nice to have

• Travel, food, hospitality or lifestyle content


• Motion graphics and basic animation


• Colour grading


• Comfort with AI-assisted editing tools — you will be working alongside a generative video specialist, and the two roles should learn from each other


• Any experience where you saw how your edit performed as an ad
