Why work at Higgsfield AI? Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $1B in annual revenue run rate, 25M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands. We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences.
Who we are looking for
Everyone at Higgsfield is an A-player. We're looking for a Korean-speaking scriptwriter who:
- Thinks natively in Korean and writes with real wit, not translation. Has strong instincts for hooks, humor and storytelling.
- Lives online: knows Korean trends, memes, K-content and creator culture.
- Moves fast, takes feedback well and lets data guide rewrites.
- Takes extreme ownership in a fast-paced startup environment.
What you will work on
- Writing original scripts and hooks in Korean for YouTube, Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
- Adapting winning English formats for Korean culture, trends and humor (transcreation, not translation).
- Covering AI tools, tutorials, model comparisons and educational content for the Korean audience.
- Pitching bold creative concepts for ads, AI-video showcases and viral formats.
- Turning research, trends and product updates into clear, structured video scripts.
- Rewriting and improving scripts based on watch time, CTR and engagement data.
- Building a library of reusable Korean script templates and hook formulas.
- Working with Growth Researchers, Video Editors and Creative Directors in Russian and English.
Your must-haves
- Korean: TOPIK 5–6 or native-level fluency, with the ability to write natural, witty copy. Russian: native or fluent (our internal working language).
- English: IELTS 6.5+ or equivalent.
- Experience writing for social media, YouTube, advertising or entertainment. A portfolio or examples of scripts, posts or videos you've written.
- Knows how to intergrate AI into the narrative
Nice to have
- Experience creating content for Korean audiences.
- A degree from a Korean university, or experience living and working in Korea.
- A background as a screenwriter, journalist, blogger or content creator.
- Experience with AI tools for video or text generation.
This role is not a fit if you
- Want to do literal translation rather than creative writing.
- Prefer theory over execution.
- Avoid feedback or rewriting.
- Don't follow trends, AI tools or social media.
The deal
- Competitive salary in USD.
- On-site role in our Almaty office (we will relocate you from anywhere).
- Full-time position.
