We have a growing archive of unedited footage — from a CNBC appearance and a cricket press conference at ETPL to an ISB talk, our company offsite in Thailand, and founder content shot on iPhone and FX3. A lot of this footage is still waiting to be turned into something. We're looking for a creative editor who can take this archive and turn it into reels, montages, and short films that feel cinematic, thoughtful, and story-led — not like typical corporate content. This is a role for someone who enjoys finding the story within raw footage and has a strong creative point of view. ## What you'll do - Edit raw multi-camera and single-camera footage into 15–60 second vertical reels, along with occasional 60–180 second brand pieces - Deliver content natively in 1080 × 1920 for vertical platforms - Colour grade footage to create a consistent, film-like look. We shoot in log and care about natural, well-balanced skin tones - Build engaging visual sequences using cutaways, inserts, screen captures, picture-in-picture, kinetic type, and other creative devices - Maintain strong pacing and visual movement, knowing when to cut quickly and when to let a shot breathe - Create captions and type treatments that feel intentional and belong to the piece, rather than relying on default presets - Develop sound design and music choices that add to the story, rather than simply sitting underneath the voice - Work closely with our CEO and creative team on direction, feedback, and quick iterations Who we're looking for - You think like a filmmaker, not just an editor. You have a point of view about why a shot belongs in a story, how it should feel, and what it should make the viewer experience. - A portfolio or reel that demonstrates narrative, documentary, brand, or story-led editing - Strong colour-grading skills in DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere with a Resolve workflow - The ability to find and build B-roll sequences from unsorted footage and source material - A strong instinct for sound design and an understanding of how much it can shape an edit - Motion design or animation skills, with the judgement to use them when they genuinely add to the story - Ability to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hours Strong plus: You can operate a camera and shoot as well as edit. Experience creating founder, creator, SaaS, or technology brand content is especially valuable. Our process - Share your reel or portfolio, along with one line about the piece you're most proud of and why. - Have a short conversation with our team about your experience and creative approach. - Complete a paid test project. We'll share A-roll from one of our shoots, an unsorted B-roll folder from another, and some initial direction. You'll turn that into one cut, and we'll pay you regardless of the outcome. - If there's a strong fit, we'll move towards an ongoing arrangement or full-time role. How to apply Send us: - Your reel or portfolio - Your typical turnaround time for a 30-second vertical edit from raw footage - One example where you handled the colour grade yourself, along with what you were trying to achieve visually Please include a reel or portfolio with your application. What matters to us - You're a strong communicator and contribute positively to the team - You take ownership and have an internal compass - You value candid feedback and overcommunication - You care about quality and design, while keeping things simple - You measure your impact and look for ways to improve and automate - You're comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and getting a little better every week - You're customer-focused and care about the end result, not just the output - You value fast, incremental ways of working Take a look at our [culture document](https://www.notion.so/Culture-Employee-Value-Proposition-780ae904ede24bc792c088c4495f599f?pvs=21) to learn more about how we work. ## Perks & benefits - Competitive compensation - Work remotely from anywhere in your respective country - Flexible working hours - Paid time off and flexible leave policy - Ability to move laterally within the team and grow quickly - No-boss culture - LGBTQ+ friendly workplace - Company offsites - Tech reimbursements ## About Fireflies.ai At Fireflies.ai, we're changing how teams use AI in their daily work.
