Job description

Filmmaker / Storyteller

Inference.net is seeking a Filmmaker / Storyteller to join our team and help define the narrative of building the world's largest distributed GPU cluster. This role combines creative vision with eye-catching content production, crafting stories that capture the magic of what we're building while shipping content that resonates with our users. If you live and breathe video content and can find compelling narratives in complex technical work, we want to hear from you!

About Inference.net

We are building a real-time marketplace for AI inference that matches spare GPU capacity inside data centers with demand from developers building AI-powered applications. We currently operate the world's largest distributed GPU cluster, with over 5,000 GPUs, hundreds of individual operators, and millions of gigabytes of VRAM connected to the network at any given moment.

We are a small, well-funded team working on difficult, high-impact problems at the intersection of AI and distributed systems. We primarily work in-person from our office in downtown San Francisco. Our investors include A16z CSX and Multicoin. We are high-agency, adaptable, and collaborative. We value creativity alongside technical prowess and humility. We work hard, and deeply enjoy the work that we do.

About the Role

As our in-house filmmaker, you'll be embedded with our engineering team, capturing the journey of next-generation AI infrastructure. You'll own our entire video content strategy from ideation to final cut, shipping weekly content that attracts eyeballs while authentically representing our mission. This is a high-output role that demands both creative excellence and experimental mindset.

Key Responsibilities

• Content Creation & Production: Produce 4+ short‑form videos monthly, 1 commercial monthly, and 1 documentary quarterly, handling everything from concept to final delivery

• Narrative Development: Extract compelling stories from our team and technology, making complex AI/distributed systems concepts accessible and engaging

• Platform Strategy: Ship content weekly across X, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms, optimizing for each platform's unique audience

• Creative Experimentation: Constantly test new formats, styles, and approaches to find what resonates with developers and tech enthusiasts

• Brand Storytelling: Define and evolve our company's visual narrative as we scale from startup to industry leader

• Team Building: After establishing our content foundation, recruit and manage freelancers, editors, and production talent to scale output

What We're Looking For

• Portfolio of Excellence: Demonstrated ability to create viral, high‑quality video content across multiple formats

• Storytelling Mastery: Exceptional ability to find and craft narratives, especially from technical or complex subject matter

• Technical Production Skills: End‑to‑end video production capabilities including shooting, editing, motion graphics, and color grading

• Platform Native: Deep understanding of what performs on modern platforms, from TikTok trends to YouTube optimization

• High Velocity Mindset: Comfort shipping content weekly while maintaining quality standards

• Collaborative Spirit: Ability to work closely with engineers and extract authentic stories from technical experts

• Startup DNA: Thrives in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments with changing priorities

Nice to Have

• Experience creating content for developer or B2B tech audiences
• Background in documentary filmmaking or journalism
• Motion graphics and animation skills
• Experience managing creative teams or freelancers

What You'll Create

Your work will span from punchy 30‑second clips that stop the scroll to thoughtful mini‑documentaries about the future of AI infrastructure. Think less corporate video, more cinematic storytelling that happens to feature GPUs and distributed systems. You'll make content that developers share because it's genuinely good, not just informative.

Compensation

We offer competitive compensation, equity in a high‑growth startup, and comprehensive benefits. The base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $140,000, plus competitive equity and benefits including:

• Full healthcare coverage
• Quarterly offsites
• Flexible PTO

If you're ready to own the visual narrative of AI's next chapter and can ship content that makes infrastructure feel like magic, we'd love to see your work. Please send your portfolio, resume, and a brief note about your favorite piece of content you've created to [e-mail].
