Job description
Tempo is looking for a Video Editor / Motion Designer to help us turn AI product development into short-form videos people actually want to watch.
You do not need to be senior. You do need taste, speed, curiosity, and a strong desire to get better fast.
You will work on product demos, social clips, launch videos, founder-led content, brand stories, and motion assets. The goal is simple: take raw material and turn it into videos that feel sharp, premium, and worth watching.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Own videos from idea to final cut
- Turn raw footage, screen recordings, streams, and interviews into short-form content
- Create edits for social, launches, product moments, and ads
- Move fast from rough cut to feedback to final delivery
- Add motion, polish, pacing, music, captions, and structure
- Keep every video on-brand and high-quality
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- A strong eye for pacing, rhythm, story, and visual taste
- Comfortable with After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, or similar tools
- Access to a Mac, to edit Screen Studio videos (which our team records with)
- Fast with new tools, especially AI, motion, and design tools
- Interested in startups, AI, software, and the tools people use to build products
- Strong communication skills
- High ownership. You do not wait around or need constant hand-holding
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-intensity environment
- Fluent English, written and spoken
You do not need to be deeply technical, but you should find this world genuinely interesting.
TO APPLY
Send us two short videos:
- A 30–60 second video of yourself talking to camera. Phone is fine. Tell us why you want to work at Tempo and why you think you are a fit.
- Your best video or motion design work. Pick the piece that best shows what you can really do, preferably in English.
Both are required for us to consider your application.
