Create motion graphics as projects require — lower thirds, UI callouts, titles, and simple data visualizations — in After Effects, and build supporting illustration and vector assets in Illustrator.
Color grade in DaVinci Resolve Studio, including conform, node-based grading, and matching shots across multi-camera and mixed-source footage.
Prep, retouch, and composite stills and textures in Photoshop for use in motion work and thumbnails.
Use AI-assisted tools in production — transcript-based rough cuts, auto-reframe, speech enhancement, rotoscoping and masking, generative fill and extend, upscaling — and tell us honestly which ones earn their place in the workflow.
Deliver versioned cutdowns and aspect-ratio variants for YouTube, LinkedIn, paid social, event screens, and the Datadog website, with correct specs every time.
Keep projects organized: clean bins, consistent naming, archived masters, and handoff files a teammate can actually open and finish.
Set and defend the quality bar — give direction to freelancers where necessary and review their work.
Who You Are
6+ years of professional video editing experience, with a reel that shows both narrative/brand work and clear, well-structured technical or product content.
Advanced Premiere Pro — multicam, nested sequences, proxy workflows, dynamic link, Essential Graphics templates, and the keyboard-driven speed that comes from years in the application.
Highly Competent in After Effects — expressions, shape layers, 2D/3D camera work, motion tracking, and original graphic and illustration design rather than template assembly.
Highly Competent in Illustrator and Photoshop — you create assets from scratch, not just resize them.
Hands-on color grading in DaVinci Resolve Studio — primaries and secondaries, power windows, LUT and color-space management, and delivery-safe output.
Proven ability to script and storyboard: you can write a VO, structure a demo, and pitch a board before production starts.
Demonstrated ability to edit highly technical content in an engaging way through product screens.
Familiarity with developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, or observability concepts.
Active, practical use of AI tools in an editing workflow, with a clear point of view on where they help, where they fall apart, and how to use them without compromising quality or accuracy.
Strong audio instincts — mix, music selection, dialogue cleanup, and knowing when silence is the right choice.
Comfortable working on technical subject matter and willing to learn enough about the product to cut it accurately.
Self-directed and unfazed by shifting priorities, short turnarounds, and simultaneous projects.
Bonus Points
Experience filming — camera operation, lighting, and location or studio audio.
Live event and conference production experience, including keynote playback and show graphics.
3D work in Cinema 4D, Blender, or Element 3D.
Experience building reusable motion systems and Essential Graphics templates for other teams to use.
