Short Form Social Media Video Editor for Calm Founder Storytelling & DIY Educational Content
Worldwide
We're looking for a social media editor to join us. My husband and I are building nLab, a startup focused on making electronics more approachable to adults and teens through hands-on learning and our flagship product: the world's smallest electronics lab. Over the past few years we've documented everything along the way: product development, Kickstarter launches, startup wins and setbacks, manufacturing surprises, and the reality of building a company together as a husband-and-wife team. We're looking for someone who can turn those moments into content people genuinely want to watch. The content sits somewhere between: founder journey entrepreneurial slice-of-life behind-the-scenes startup content hands-on engineering education The ideal person has a track record creating high-performing or viral short-form content, especially authentic storytelling that captures people, personalities, and real moments. You should be comfortable: finding the story in hours of footage identifying strong hooks and moments worth building around editing for retention and audience growth making engineering and technical topics feel exciting and approachable contributing ideas instead of simply executing edits Our style is authentic, personal, and story-driven. We're not looking for: ❌ excessive transitions ❌ gimmicky effects ❌ AI-generated visuals ❌ overly-produced corporate content We're looking for: ✅ strong storytelling ✅ personality ✅ genuine moments ✅ great pacing ✅ content that inspires people to learn, build, and create Bonus points if you've worked with DIY, crafts, tech, maker, education, or founder-led brands before.
