About the Company

We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based game server hosting company and one of the most established names in multiplayer gaming infrastructure. For more than a decade, we have helped players, creators, communities, and game studios launch and run their own servers across more than 100 titles, from Minecraft and modded packs to the latest survival, crafting, and co-op releases. Our platform runs on a global network of data centers, a custom-built server control panel, and a support team that is available around the clock, and it has powered millions of servers for tens of millions of players.

We were built by gamers, and it shows in how we operate: deep investment in creators and communities, launch partnerships with game studios, and a brand that lives where gamers spend their time. Short-form video is a core part of how we show up there, and we are investing in it.

About the Role

Our Brand Content Lead is the face and voice of our short-form channels. He streams, showcases the games we host, and helps players understand and get more out of our server panel. Every hour he spends in an editing timeline is an hour he is not streaming, filming, or engaging with the community.

This role exists to remove that bottleneck. You will take his clips and briefs and turn them into finished, platform-ready vertical videos at a steady daily cadence, so our channels publish consistently and he can focus on the work only he can do.

We are looking for an editor who understands why viewers keep watching. You will make confident creative calls inside a brief, ask the right question when a brief leaves a gap, and treat feedback as a way to get sharper. Success looks like a finished video shipped on time every weekday, fewer revision rounds as you learn the brand, and retention that improves over time.

Key Responsibilities

Editing & Storytelling

Turn clips and briefs from the Brand Content Lead into polished 9:16 vertical videos that match our brand style
Build hooks that earn the first few seconds, then hold attention through clear storytelling, jump cuts, pattern interrupts, and beat-matched pacing
Spot the most engaging moments in gameplay footage and shape them into a story viewers want to finish
Add dynamic captions, kinetic text, music, and sound effects that lift the content without cluttering it

Platform Delivery

Export finished videos tailored to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, accounting for each platform’s specs, safe zones, and length norms
Create cover frames or thumbnails where a platform calls for them
Deliver one finished video per weekday at launch, with volume reviewed together after onboarding

Feedback & Iteration

Apply the Brand Content Lead’s feedback and deliver revisions within agreed turnaround times
Flag blockers, unclear briefs, or missing assets early so deadlines hold
Review published video performance with the Brand Content Lead and carry what the retention data shows into future edits

Brand Consistency & Workflow

Build and maintain reusable templates, caption styles, and presets so every video is unmistakably on-brand
Keep project files, footage, and exports organized and clearly labeled for easy review and handover
Track short-form trends, formats, and audio across gaming content and bring ideas to the Brand Content Lead

Required Qualifications

Proven experience editing short-form vertical video for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels
Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
A clear understanding of short-form pacing and how specific editing choices affect viewer retention
Experience creating dynamic captions and kinetic text adapted to a brand’s style
Working knowledge of how TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels differ in audience, format, and safe zones
Genuine familiarity with gaming culture and hands-on knowledge of popular multiplayer titles (for example Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, or Project Zomboid), with an instinct for what makes a gameplay moment worth watching
Comfort with direct, specific creative feedback and a track record of turning it into stronger edits
Reliable, on-time delivery against a daily cadence, with clear written communication
Availability to work 10:00am to 6:00pm GMT (6:00pm to 2:00am Philippine Time), Monday to Friday
A computer and internet connection that can handle HD editing and large file transfers
Portfolio: at least 10 short-form videos you personally edited, with your contribution clearly identified for each. Where you have access to performance data (views, retention, engagement), include it and explain how your editing choices drove those results.

Preferred Qualifications

Motion graphics experience in Adobe After Effects or DaVinci Resolve Fusion
Experience editing 9:16 and 16:9 paid social creative for user acquisition campaigns
Familiarity with Epidemic Sound or similar licensed music and sound effect libraries
Basic Photoshop or equivalent image-editing skills
Prior experience with a gaming brand, creator team, esports organization, or content agency
Ability to read platform analytics, pinpoint retention drop-off, and recommend specific changes

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are:

A gamer who edits like a storyteller. You know the difference between a clip that is technically clean and one people actually finish, and you can explain why.
Obsessed with the opening seconds. You think about the hook before anything else and test your own edits with a viewer’s thumb in mind.
Fast and consistent. Shipping a quality video every weekday feels like a rhythm, not a scramble.
Self-directed inside a brief. You make confident creative calls on your own, and when a brief leaves a real gap, you ask one sharp question instead of guessing.
Coachable, not passive. You take direct feedback well, apply it the first time, and push back with a reason when you see a better option.
Organized. Anyone could open your project folder and find what they need in seconds.
Steady on an evening schedule. You have worked overseas-client hours before and know how to stay sharp and reliable across them.

Why Join Us

Your work reaches a large, engaged gaming audience across three major platforms every weekday
You work one-on-one with an on-camera content lead who gives direct feedback and real creative input
You build a gaming-content portfolio with a brand that players, creators, and studios recognize
You help shape a short-form channel the company is actively investing in, with room for volume and scope to grow as it scales
