Video Editor (YouTube & Short-Form Content)

Location: Remote
Type: Full-Time

About the Company

We are a fast-growing digital media brand at the intersection of technology, creativity, and culture.

Our content explores how modern technology shapes everyday life — from consumer tech and AI to creative workflows and business innovation. What started as a YouTube channel has evolved into a broader platform focused on thoughtful, engaging, and high-quality storytelling.

We are now looking for a Video Editor who is highly proficient in DaVinci Resolve and understands both narrative-driven YouTube content and platform-native short-form storytelling.

The Opportunity

This is not a high-volume, low-quality editing role.

We are looking for an editor who can balance:

Strong storytelling and pacing
Modern social media instincts
Tasteful, intentional editing (not over-edited or gimmicky)

Important: This role is built entirely around DaVinci Resolve workflows — candidates must be fully comfortable operating at a high level within Resolve.

What You’ll Own

Long-Form YouTube Content

Edit 1–3 high-quality YouTube videos per week
Shape narrative flow, pacing, and structure
Ensure content is engaging, cohesive, and aligned with the brand voice

Short-Form Content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)

Create 1–3 minute vertical edits
Build and maintain a backlog for daily posting
Optimize edits per platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts)

Creative Contribution

Identify and enhance storytelling moments
Suggest improvements in pacing, structure, and delivery
Apply trends thoughtfully without over-editing

Collaboration & Workflow

Work within remote editing systems (Slack, Frame.io, LucidLink)
Manage large media files efficiently
Communicate clearly and consistently with the team

Editing Style Expectations

Not cinematic/film-style
Not hyperactive “MrBeast-style”
Instead:
- Clean
- Intentional
- Story-first
- Social-native

You should understand how to retain attention without overwhelming the viewer.

Requirements

Technical (Non-Negotiable)

2+ years of professional editing experience using DaVinci Resolve
Must be fully comfortable editing end-to-end projects in Resolve (not just basic cuts)
Strong understanding of:
- Timelines, nodes, color workflows, and exports within Resolve
Must be using an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3 or newer)
High-speed internet for large file transfers

Creative & Strategic

Strong understanding of:
- YouTube retention and pacing
- Short-form engagement dynamics
Ability to:
- Build a compelling narrative arc
- Edit with personality and taste
- Balance creativity with restraint

Soft Skills

Detail-oriented and organized
Strong communicator (clear, proactive, honest)
Open to feedback and iteration
Reliable in a remote environment

Nice-to-Have

Motion graphics/design experience (especially inside Resolve)
Familiarity with tech content (AI, gadgets, cameras, etc.)
Multimedia or communications background

Growth & Development

For the right candidate, there will be opportunities for:

Skill development and continued learning
Increased creative ownership
Long-term growth within the brand
