Job summary

United States Digital Space LLC is seeking an experienced video editor to cut high-velocity short-form content and to build scalable template/preset systems for rapid publication.

You will own pacing, motion, captions, and sound design to maximize retention while delivering platform-native cuts across formats. The role requires deep expertise in major editors and AI-assisted workflows, with a focus on automation and high-volume output.

Qualifications

• 4+ years editing short-form video with proven viral output.
• Expert in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects plus CapCut Pro.
• Motion graphics and sound design capability — not just cuts.
• Demonstrated systems thinking; you've built template/preset libraries before.
• Fluent with AI editing tooling and able to explain why a cut retains viewer attention.
• Machine that can render at volume without dying.

Responsibilities

• Cut hero content: the concepts the manager is betting on, edited to a standard that competes with full-time creators
• Build and maintain the template library — hook openers, caption styles, transition packs, platform presets — so the creator can self-serve variants without you touching every file
• Own the pacing, cuts, sound design, captions, and motion that turn raw footage into retention
• Version every hero concept into platform-native cuts: aspect ratio, hook rewrite, length, caption style per platform
• Automate what can be automated — batch captioning, auto-reframe, preset-driven exports
• Maintain asset organization, file naming, and archive so nothing gets remade twice
• Feed the manager honest data on what's actually taking time, so briefs stay realistic

Job description

About the company

Welcome to the company – a trusted name in Inspection innovation. Since our establishment in 2021, we’ve been committed to bridging the gap between property owners and skilled Inspectors. With a focus on precision, technology, and trust, the company is where projects take flight, making California balconies safer with the expertise of over 6000 inspections.

You make things watchable and you make volume possible. Half this job is cutting hero content to a very high standard. The other half — the half that matters more — is building the template and preset system that lets the team publish 5x what one editor could cut by hand.

What you'll do

• Cut hero content: the concepts the manager is betting on, edited to a standard that competes with full-time creators

Build and maintain the template library — hook openers, caption styles, transition packs, platform presets — so the creator can self-serve variants without you touching every file

• Own the pacing, cuts, sound design, captions, and motion that turn raw footage into retention
• Version every hero concept into platform-native cuts: aspect ratio, hook rewrite, length, caption style per platform
• Automate what can be automated — batch captioning, auto-reframe, preset-driven exports
• Maintain asset organization, file naming, and archive so nothing gets remade twice
• Feed the manager honest data on what's actually taking time, so briefs stay realistic

Required qualifications

4+ years editing short-form video with proven viral output — show us the videos and the view counts

• Expert in at least one professional suite (Premiere, DaVinci, After Effects) plus fast tools (CapCut Pro)
• Motion graphics and sound design capability — not just cuts

Demonstrated systems thinking. You've built template/preset libraries before and can describe them

• Fluent with AI editing tooling and opinionated about which are worth paying for
• You understand why an edit retains — you can explain the choice behind a cut, not just make it
• Machine that can render at volume without dying

Nice to have

• Experience editing for a channel you also had a stake in growing
• Automation/scripting experience (batch processing, API-driven workflows)
• Thumbnail and cover design

Not a fit if

• You need to touch every single export personally
• You've only ever done client-service editing to spec
• You can't explain what makes an edit retain vs. just look nice

BONUS OPPORTUNITY:

Structure: 85% base / 15% variable. Base $1,400–1,600, realistic total $1,600–2,100.
