This is a remote position.

We're hiring a video editor. With taste. Not a button-pusher. Tars is an AI agent platform for customer experience. We're 8 years old. Netflix, American Express, Vodafone, and Qatar Foundation are customers. We're rewriting the whole product for our 3.0 launch on June 30, 2026.We have two editors on the team already. We're shipping more video than they can keep up with. We want a third editor who can absorb the overflow, eventually carry their own slate, and - most importantly - bring an editorial point of view to the work, not just timeline mechanics.We are explicitly not hiring someone to follow a shot list. If that's what you want, this isn't the role.What you'll actually do:

• Cut shorts (LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Instagram) - 60-90 seconds, sound-off-first, hook in 3 seconds. Multiple per week.
• Assist our senior editors on long-form (8-15 min cam+screen pieces, customer story documentaries, the Tars 3.0 launch hero piece).
• Own captions, sound design, B-roll selection, color, and pacing on your own cuts. We're not going to micromanage these decisions - we expect you to make them and defend them.
• Work directly with the founders and the existing content team.
• Watch the numbers. Retention curves, hook drop-off, comment quality. Adjust your next cut accordingly.

What you won't get from us:

• A shot list. A transitions pack. A "here's the brand template, just plug the footage in."
• A turnaround deadline that ignores quality. We'd rather you take an extra day and ship something with a point of view than rush something forgettable.
• A team to hide behind. The cut has your name on it.

Requirements

Who you are:

• You already edit. Anywhere - YouTube, Instagram, freelance, college work, a friend's podcast. The pattern matters more than the platform.
• You have a public portfolio. Not a Behance Pro account - just somewhere we can watch your work without asking. YouTube channel, IG reel grid, a Google Drive folder, a personal site - all fine.
• You're fluent in at least one NLE - Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut Pro. We don't care which. We do care that you actually know it well, not three of them at surface level.
• You have opinions. About pacing. About when to cut. About when not to cut. About what makes captions readable vs. annoying. About when music helps and when it's noise. You can defend those opinions on camera.
• You're curious about AI, software, and how businesses use technology. You don't need to know the category - but you need to want to learn it.
• You're in India, available for 6 months, comfortable working mostly async with a few syncs a week.

How to apply: Don't send a cover letter. Don't send a resume PDF. When you apply, we'll send you a short assignment. Five days. One short, three packs to choose from, your edit, your bets. Open brief. We only talk to people who complete the assignment.

Benefits

• Monthly stipend based on experience and portfolio
• 6-month internship, with the possibility of converting full-time. The first week is a paid trial before the formal internship begins.
• Full remote, India-based
• You keep ownership of your personal channels and any work you've made elsewhere
