Cinematic Video Editor

Fireflies.ai builds AI meeting and work assistants used by millions of people. We have a growing archive of unedited footage - from a CNBC appearance and a cricket press conference at ETPL to an ISB talk, our company offsite in Thailand, and founder content shot on iPhone and FX3.

A lot of this footage is still waiting to be turned into something.We're looking for a creative editor who can take this archive and turn it into reels, montages, and short films that feel cinematic, thoughtful, and story-led - not like typical corporate content.

This is a role for someone who enjoys finding the story within raw footage and has a strong creative point of view.

What you'll do

Edit raw multi-camera and single-camera footage into 15-60 second vertical reels, along with occasional 60-180 second brand pieces

Deliver content natively in 1080 × 1920 for vertical platforms

Colour grade footage to create a consistent, film-like look. We shoot in log and care about natural, well-balanced skin tones

Build engaging visual sequences using cutaways, inserts, screen captures, picture-in-picture, kinetic type, and other creative devices

Maintain strong pacing and visual movement, knowing when to cut quickly and when to let a shot breathe

Create captions and type treatments that feel intentional and belong to the piece, rather than relying on default presets

Develop sound design and music choices that add to the story, rather than simply sitting underneath the voice

Work closely with our CEO and creative team on direction, feedback, and quick iterations

Who we're looking for

You think like a filmmaker, not just an editor. You have a point of view about why a shot belongs in a story, how it should feel, and what it should make the viewer experience.

A portfolio or reel that demonstrates narrative, documentary, brand, or story-led editing

Strong colour-grading skills in DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere with a Resolve workflow

The ability to find and build B-roll sequences from unsorted footage and source material

A strong instinct for sound design and an understanding of how much it can shape an edit

Motion design or animation skills, with the judgement to use them when they genuinely add to the story

Ability to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hours

Strong plus: You can operate a camera and shoot as well as edit. Experience creating founder, creator, SaaS, or technology brand content is especially valuable.
Our process

Share your reel or portfolio, along with one line about the piece you're most proud of and why.

Have a short conversation with our team about your experience and creative approach.

Complete a test project. We'll share A-roll from one of our shoots, an unsorted B-roll folder from another, and some initial direction. You'll turn that into one cut.

If there's a strong fit, we'll move towards an ongoing arrangement or full-time role.
