- Work directly with directors and producers from assembly cut through final delivery
- Receive feedback, iterate fast, and maintain quality under real deadlines
- Manage your own project files, organization, and delivery pipeline
- Own finishing videos through color and sound, and occasionally create simple animation using AI tools or After Effects
- Contribute to expanding S³’s IP through new video formats and storytelling methodologies

- Good communicator who works well in a collaborative team environment
Requirements

- Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve
- Ability to complete a paid test edit as part of the hiring process
- Based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate
- Relentlessly optimistic mindset—we do objectively difficult work, but it will be fun and the mission is too important to be anything less than fully committed
