What you'll edit - YouTube videos , from explainers to interviews, paced to hold attention start to finish. - Shorts and vertical clips for social platforms.

- Conference talks , full-talks from our events and clips to share on socials. - Launch videos , where timing, polish, and pacing carry the announcement. - Thumbnails, title cards, typography, and motion graphics that go with all of the above. How you'll work - A combination of strong individual editing skills combined with an excitement for how AI can improve the speed and quality at which we create. - In close collaboration with the Marketing team at PlanetScale. - You'll have time and budget to try new tools. Bonus points - Background in Software Development, or working with Engineering companies - Experience editing tech / developer content - A channel or account you've grown yourself - Experience with code-driven video tools like Remotion - A knack for creating engaging thumbnails and titles - Sound design and audio mixing skills - Experience shooting or directing your own footage - Livestream or live event production experience Why PlanetScale PlanetScale is a profitable company with a philosophy centered around building small teams of p99 individuals and is recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America.
