> Tempo is seeking a Video Editor / Motion Designer to create short-form videos for AI product development, including product demos, social clips, and brand stories. The role involves owning videos from idea to final cut, requiring strong visual taste, speed, and ownership in a fast-paced environment.

## 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
