Job description
Role Overview
The company is expanding and is hiring a Video Editor to produce engaging short-form content for social platforms. The work will focus on editing raw footage into polished, entertaining videos for channels such as TikTok and Instagram, with a style that feels authentic and native to phone-shot social content.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Transform raw video clips into finished, audience-ready edits.
- Add on-screen captions, background music, sound effects, and motion graphics to strengthen each video.
- Collaborate with the team to shape edits around shared creative direction and feedback.
- Keep an eye on emerging online video trends and incorporate relevant ideas into future content.
Required Experience and Skills
Candidates should be highly comfortable using professional editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut. A strong portfolio is essential, especially one that demonstrates short-form social media work. The role also calls for solid instincts around storytelling, pacing, rhythm, and emotional impact. You should be able to use motion graphics, sound design, and color grading to deliver a refined final result. Familiarity with video specifications, codecs, and platform-specific best practices for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, including vertical formats, is also needed. Experience working with both supplied assets and stock/B-roll sourced to support the narrative is important.
Working Arrangement
This is a full-time position. You must be available to overlap with the team for at least 4 hours each day, aligned to Los Angeles time.
Pay
Compensation is set at $4 to $6 per hour. There is a path toward a salaried arrangement and faster pay increases, and stronger performance may lead to higher pay after the first month.

Application Notes
Applicants should share a portfolio link and provide examples that closely match the requested style. As an attention check, the phrase “Restoration AI 2026” must be included in the subject line; submissions without it are meant to be rejected. Candidates are also expected to send a message, show prior work, and explain why they are a strong fit.
