## Job description

Datadog is the observability and security platform for cloud applications. Engineers at tens of thousands of companies use us to understand what their systems are doing in real time. We are a public company with the pace and ambition of a much smaller one, and we build products for a technical audience that has very little patience for marketing fluff.

We are hiring a Senior Video Editor to join our video team and own video end to end — from concept and script through edit, motion, color, and final delivery. You will work across two kinds of content: brand and marketing video (campaigns, customer stories, event films, social and paid cutdowns) and product and technical video (launch films, feature demos, release explainers, conference keynote support).

You will partner closely with brand designers, product marketing, developer relations, and the events team. You will also help develop AI tools to speed up the pipeline.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You'll Do:

- Cut brand and product video from raw footage to final delivery in Premiere Pro, working across multiple active projects and deadlines.
- Script and storyboard your own pieces — take a rough brief or a product demo and shape it into a story with a clear arc before a single clip is on the timeline.
- Create motion graphics as projects require — lower thirds, UI callouts, titles, and simple data visualizations — in After Effects, and build supporting illustration and vector assets in Illustrator.
- Color grade in DaVinci Resolve Studio, including conform, node-based grading, and matching shots across multi-camera and mixed-source footage.
- Prep, retouch, and composite stills and textures in Photoshop for use in motion work and thumbnails.
- Use AI-assisted tools in production — transcript-based rough cuts, auto-reframe, speech enhancement, rotoscoping and masking, generative fill and extend, upscaling — and tell us honestly which ones earn their place in the workflow.
- Deliver versioned cutdowns and aspect-ratio variants for YouTube, LinkedIn, paid social, event screens, and the Datadog website, with correct specs every time.
- Keep projects organized: clean bins, consistent naming, archived masters, and handoff files a teammate can actually open and finish.
- Set and defend the quality bar — give direction to freelancers where necessary and review their work.

Who You Are:

- 6+ years of professional video editing experience, with a reel that shows both narrative/brand work and clear, well-structured technical or product content.
- Advanced Premiere Pro — multicam, nested sequences, proxy workflows, dynamic link, Essential Graphics templates, and the keyboard-driven speed that comes from years in the application.
- Highly Competent in After Effects — expressions, shape layers, 2D/3D camera work, motion tracking, and original graphic and illustration design rather than template assembly.
- Highly Competent in Illustrator and Photoshop — you create assets from scratch, not just resize them.
- Hands-on color grading in DaVinci Resolve Studio — primaries and secondaries, power windows, LUT and color-space management, and delivery-safe output.
- Proven ability to script and storyboard: you can write a VO, structure a demo, and pitch a board before production starts.
- Demonstrated ability to edit highly technical content in an engaging way through product screens.
- Familiarity with developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, or observability concepts.
- Active, practical use of AI tools in an editing workflow, with a clear point of view on where they help, where they fall apart, and how to use them without compromising quality or accuracy.
- Strong audio instincts — mix, music selection, dialogue cleanup, and knowing when silence is the right choice.
- Comfortable working on technical subject matter and willing to learn enough about the product to cut it accurately.
- Self-directed and unfazed by shifting priorities, short turnarounds, and simultaneous projects.

Bonus Points:

- Experience filming — camera operation, lighting, and location or studio audio.
- Live event and conference production experience, including keynote playback and show graphics.
- 3D work in Cinema 4D, Blender, or Element 3D.
- Experience building reusable motion systems and Essential Graphics templates for other teams to use.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits & Growth:

- Generous and competitive benefits package
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
- Continuous career development and pathing opportunities
- Employee-focused best in class onboarding
- Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program
- Friendly and inclusive workplace culture

#LI-Hybrid Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
