About Iru

Iru is the AI-powered security & IT platform used by the world’s fastest-growing companies to secure their users, apps, and devices. Built for the AI era, Iru unifies identity & access, endpoint security & management, and compliance automation—collapsing the stack and giving IT & security time and control back.

Iru is backed by some of the smartest investors in tech—General Catalyst, Tiger Global, Felicis, Greycroft, and First Round Capital. In July 2024, Iru raised $100 million from General Catalyst, valuing the company at $850 million.

Iru was named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers 2025 list for employee engagement and satisfaction.

The Opportunity

We have a lot to say, and we’re betting on video to say it. We are looking for a powerhouse video editor & motion designer who lives and breathes post-production—someone who can take raw footage and UI captures and transform them into sharp, high-converting, and visually stunning video assets.

While your core craft is in the edit suite—bringing videos to life through seamless pacing, advanced motion graphics, and sophisticated visual polish—you also possess the artistic eye and director’s touch to step behind the camera when needed. A bonus is knowing how to light a room, frame a perfect shot, and direct on-camera talent so the raw footage you start with is top-tier.

You can take an approved script and raw footage and turn it into something polished and sharp, with real ownership over the creative choices in between. This is a contract role with the potential to turn into a full time role. It will average 20 hours per week, working out of our Iru office in Coral Gables.

What You’ll Own
Post-production & motion design (must-have):

• Turn raw footage and scripts into polished, high-performing videos for ads, product launches, customer stories, and our weekly product recap series.
• Animate UI elements, product workflows, and brand graphics to make complex tech clear and visually dynamic.
• Execute precision edits: narrative pacing, color correction, sound design, and kinetic typography.

Brand & visual quality:

• Protect and evolve our brand identity through consistent visual design, animation styles, and video templates.

Creative direction (nice to have):

• Lead production for studio and on-camera shoots: set up lighting, dial in high-quality audio, and frame shots with a strong artistic eye.
• Direct speakers and talent on camera, making them feel comfortable and ensuring authentic, sharp performances.

What You Bring

• A Motion & Editing-Heavy Reel: A portfolio showcasing strong narrative cuts, dynamic UI animation, slick transitions, and sound design.
• Post-Production Mastery: Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects) or similar industry-standard tools.
• An Artistic Eye Behind the Camera: Proven ability to light a scene, frame aesthetically pleasing compositions, operate cameras/mics/teleprompters, and direct speakers.
• Product & Tech Savvy: Ability to translate complex tech features/UI into clear, engaging visual stories (past experience in the tech sector is a big plus).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Strong communication skills to partner with marketing, product, and creative team members to bring ideas from concept to final render.
