The Role:
You will be our first dedicated creative hire and own the Bytes brand across video, photography, and social, from concept to final cut.

- Shoot and edit product demos, customer stories, founder content, and short-form video.
- Photograph restaurants, the team, events, and the product in use.

- Fluency in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve, plus Lightroom.
- A record of growing a brand on social, with the work to show for it.
- Strong design sense and the ability to make a technical product feel simple.
- Founder-level work ethic: high volume, high bar, no playbook needed.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
