About the role
We build content engines for brands, creators, and entrepreneurs. Our clients include Apple, Snapchat, Liquid Death, Golden Goose, Poppi, and MGK.
Our founders are editors. We've spent years in the timeline and we can tell in 10 seconds if someone's faking it. We're not hiring to fill a seat — we're looking for someone who's obsessed with the work.
If you want to coast, this isn't the place.
What you'll do:
Cut short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) for major clients. You'll have direct creative input on hooks, pacing, and storytelling. We move fast and expect our editors to lead, not wait for direction.
What we need from you
A portfolio that proves you can hold attention in under 60 seconds. You edit in Adobe — Premiere Pro and After Effects, no exceptions. You can take raw footage and build something people can't skip. You're fast, you're reliable, and you have a point of view about your edits.
What you get
Work on content for brands people actually know.
Fully remote, async, from anywhere in the world.
Small team, no bureaucracy, real ownership over your work.
A clear path into a senior or lead creative role.
Our hiring process:
Three steps. No runaround.
Application — submit your portfolio
Assessment — a short personality test and one video edit so we can see how you think and cut
Interview:
a conversation with our team
Already completed an SLS test assignment? Include it with your application and we'll re-review it for this round.
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.
