Job description

Jalin Siu | Los Angeles / Remote | Full-time, Part-time, Freelance, or Contract

About Us

Jalin Siu is a sibling-led YouTube channel with videos that are personality-driven, comedic, and built around the dynamic between the four siblings. We make everything from everyday vlogs and challenges to more structured, episodic videos with a strong beginning, middle, and end.

We’re looking for a YouTube Video Editor who understands storytelling, comedic timing, pacing, and what makes people want to keep watching.

This isn’t a role where we’re looking for someone to cut footage together. We’re looking for someone who genuinely understands YouTube storytelling, comedy, pacing, and personality — and can take hours of footage and find the story within it.

What You’ll Do
  • Edit long-form YouTube videos, typically 18–25 minutes, from raw footage through final delivery
  • Find the strongest story, funniest moments, and best sibling dynamics within large amounts of footage
  • Build engaging pacing and narrative structure rather than simply following the order things happened
  • Use music, SFX, graphics, sound design, and visual edits intentionally to enhance the story and comedy
  • Make creative editorial decisions while maintaining the personality and voice of the channel
  • Collaborate with Jalin and team through cuts and revisions
  • Keep projects organized and consistently meet deadlines
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience editing long-form YouTube or comparable digital content
  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong storytelling, pacing, and comedic timing
  • Experience with personality-driven, comedy, vlog, challenge, or similar content
  • Strong instincts for music, SFX, and sound design
  • Someone who can make creative decisions independently and understands why a moment works, not just how to edit it
  • Organized, reliable, communicative, and comfortable working independently
  • Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
  • Bonus: After Effects / motion graphics experience and experience working directly with creators.
About the Role

The channel has grown to over 1.9M subscribers, and we’re continuing to develop both our regular YouTube content and more ambitious, structured projects.

We’re open to full-time, part-time, freelance, or contract arrangements depending on the right candidate and fit.
