The Role

OpusClip is building the future of AI video — and we need someone who can make it look like it. We are seeking a hands‑on AI Video Editor who lives at the intersection of creative instinct and technical craft. This is not a role for someone who waits for perfect footage. This is a role for an editor who can take raw, broken, or AI‑generated clips and turn them into something undeniably polished — fast.

The Mandate

Edit at the Speed of AI:

Transform AI‑generated clips into high‑quality demo, marketing, and ad videos. When the footage is rough or broken, you don’t wait — you rebuild it.
Bridge the Gap:

Combine AI outputs with motion graphics, compositing, and traditional editing techniques to produce results that AI alone can’t deliver yet.
Prototype and Iterate Rapidly:

Move fast on demos for product and marketing. You’re comfortable shipping, getting feedback, and iterating — all in the same day.
Shape the Workflow:

Help define and refine how AI‑assisted video production works at OpusClip. Your hands‑on experience informs how we build the product itself.
Train the Machine:

Produce manual video edits that serve as references for training OpusClip’s agentic product. Your craft directly shapes how our AI learns.

The Profile

The Hands‑On Editor:

You have 3–6 years of experience in video editing and motion design. You’re fast, precise, and never precious about starting over.
The Technician:

You know Premiere Pro, After Effects, and similar tools deeply. You can take rough footage and make it sing.
The AI‑Native Creator:

You’ve worked with AI video tools and understand both their power and their limits — and you know exactly how to fill the gaps.
The Storyteller:

You have a strong sense of pacing, visual polish, and narrative. You don’t just cut clips — you shape experiences.
The Startup Operator:

You’re comfortable in fast‑moving environments, thrive with ambiguity, and treat iteration as a feature, not a bug.

The Details

Location:

On‑site in Mountain View, 4 days/week
Engagement:

Contract role– opportunity to convert

You Should NOT Apply If

You need clean, camera‑ready footage to do your best work
You’re not comfortable working with AI‑generated content and its limitations
You prefer a slow, defined creative process over rapid iteration
You haven’t used AI video tools in your workflow
