Job description

Quippy (YC F26) is a daily practice room for the conversations people dread.

The app is live on the App Store.

You will turn raw footage, screen recordings, and user stories into short videos people stop scrolling for. You will work closely with the marketing lead and see how every video performs within hours.

You might be a fit if

• You have a portfolio of short videos that did well
• You edit fast and know the trends without copying them
• You care about pacing, captions, and sound
• You can take feedback and deliver a new version the same day
