Worldwide

Summary

We're building a short-form content engine for an in development video game. Our goal is simple: post one high-quality gameplay video every two days, across TikTok, Youtube shorts, and Instagram Reels, using volume and creative iteration to find breakout moments. This is not a one-off gig. If you're great, this is a consistent stream of paid work; potentially growing alongside us as we launch the game and build the next one. We need editors that can take raw video footage and can come up with an idea to create engaging shorts. Bonus if you're able to capture your own in game footage. What you'll be doing Cutting and pacing videos to 15–45 seconds with strong hook-first structure Adding captions, sound, trending audio, on-screen text, and meme-style formatting where appropriate Matching current TikTok/Reels trends and formats while keeping the content native to gaming culture Ability to record your own gaming footage is plus. Delivering 2-3 finished videos per week per assignment, on a reliable schedule Iterating based on performance data Performance bonuses Great performance is rewarded directly. Bonuses are paid per video, per platform: 50K+ views +$5 250K+ views +$15 1M+ views +$50 We reward consistency. Who we're looking for You actively use TikTok, Instagram, Youtube shorts and can name 3 formats or trends that are performing this week; without looking it up You understand retention mechanics: hook in 2 seconds, pattern interrupt, loop-able endings You've edited gaming, app, or tech content before and have examples ready to share You work fast without sacrificing quality; and you're honest when you're at capacity You can hit deadlines independently and flag issues before they become problems You're interested in building something, not just collecting invoices Application questions Please answer all of the following in your proposal. Applications without answers will not be reviewed. 1. Share 2–3 examples of short-form video content you've edited. If you've edited game content specifically, lead with that. 2. What's one TikTok trend or format that's working right now that you'd apply to a base building, colony management, survival game? 3. Walk us through your editing process from recording raw footage to delivering a finished video. How long does a typical 30-second video take you? 4. What's your realistic weekly capacity for videos of this type, assuming the raw footage are provided in advance? 5. What editing software do you use and why? How to apply Start your proposal with the phrase "hook first" so we know you read this fully. Then answer the five questions above. No cover letter needed; your answers and portfolio speak for themselves. We review applications on a rolling basis and move fast with strong candidates.
