Sr. Video Editor (short-form)Posted today$176K
The opportunity
Databricks is looking for a Short-Form Video Editor to join our in-house brand team. In this role, you'll own the full lifecycle of short-form video for our brand channels — from topic planning and storyboarding through editing, motion graphics, and publishing.
What you'll do
You've built a repeatable short-form content engine for Databricks' brand: channels. You've established a topic pipeline and storyboarding process — pulling from blogs, launches, webinars, and exec talks — so video output is planned and proactive rather than reactive, requiring strong content marketing instincts and the ability to work independently from a brief.
You've turned raw SME footage into a recognizable, high-performing video: style. Unscripted or lightly-scripted footage from engineers and executives is consistently shaped into tight, retention-optimized cuts that feel native to each platform, requiring sharp post-production editing skills and a strong eye for pacing and story.
You've made AI tools a core part of the production workflow, not a bolt-on.: Turnaround time on video production has meaningfully decreased because you've integrated AI-assisted editing, transcription, captioning, and repurposing tools into daily work, while keeping a human hand on creative quality — requiring genuine fluency with modern AI video tools and the judgment to know when not to rely on them.
Databricks' short-form content is measurably easier to find and surface,: including by AI answer engines. Video (and its supporting metadata, captions, and repurposed text) is produced with AIO/GEO best practices in mind, requiring a working understanding of how AI-driven discovery and recommendation systems evaluate content.
Motion graphics have elevated the brand's video content beyond straight cuts.: Animated explainers, kinetic text, and simple data visualizations are a regular part of the content mix, requiring hands-on motion graphics and animation skills (e.g., After Effects).
Cross-functional partners trust you to run with a brief. Content marketing,: product marketing, and executive comms treat you as an owner of the video format, not just an execution resource — requiring strong collaboration skills and consistent, on-brand judgment across a high volume of content.
What they're looking for
- Video performance data actively shapes what gets made next. You track: engagement and retention metrics across channels and use them to adjust format, pacing, and topic selection over time, requiring a data-informed approach to creative decisions.
- + years of professional video editing experience, ideally with in-house or: agency experience producing short-form social content for a brand.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating short-form editing (15–90 second formats): hook design, pacing, storytelling in compressed formats, and platform-native style.
- Proficiency in professional editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro and/or: DaVinci Resolve; After Effects for motion graphics).
