Fireflies.ai builds AI meeting and work assistants used by millions of people. We have a growing archive of unedited footage — from a CNBC appearance and a cricket press conference at ETPL to an ISB talk, our company offsite in Thailand, and founder content shot on iPhone and FX3.
A lot of this footage is still waiting to be turned into something.
We're looking for a creative editor who can take this archive and turn it into reels, montages, and short films that feel cinematic, thoughtful, and story-led — not like typical corporate content.
This is a role for someone who enjoys finding the story within raw footage and has a strong creative point of view.
What you'll do
- Edit raw multi-camera and single-camera footage into 15–60 second vertical reels, along with occasional 60–180 second brand pieces
- Deliver content natively in 1080 × 1920 for vertical platforms
- Colour grade footage to create a consistent, film-like look. We shoot in log and care about natural, well-balanced skin tones
- Build engaging visual sequences using cutaways, inserts, screen captures, picture-in-picture, kinetic type, and other creative devices
- Maintain strong pacing and visual movement, knowing when to cut quickly and when to let a shot breathe
- Create captions and type treatments that feel intentional and belong to the piece, rather than relying on default presets
- Develop sound design and music choices that add to the story, rather than simply sitting underneath the voice
- Work closely with our CEO and creative team on direction, feedback, and quick iterations
Who we're looking for
- You think like a filmmaker, not just an editor. You have a point of view about why a shot belongs in a story, how it should feel, and what it should make the viewer experience.
- A portfolio or reel that demonstrates narrative, documentary, brand, or story-led editing
- Strong colour-grading skills in DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere with a Resolve workflow
- The ability to find and build B-roll sequences from unsorted footage and source material
- A strong instinct for sound design and an understanding of how much it can shape an edit
- Motion design or animation skills, with the judgement to use them when they genuinely add to the story
- Ability to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hours
Strong plus: You can operate a camera and shoot as well as edit. Experience creating founder, creator, SaaS, or technology brand content is especially valuable.
Our process
- Share your reel or portfolio, along with one line about the piece you're most proud of and why.
- Have a short conversation with our team about your experience and creative approach.
- Complete a paid test project. We'll share A-roll from one of our shoots, an unsorted B-roll folder from another, and some initial direction. You'll turn that into one cut, and we'll pay you regardless of the outcome.
- If there's a strong fit, we'll move towards an ongoing arrangement or full-time role.
How to apply
Send us:
- Your reel or portfolio
- Your typical turnaround time for a 30-second vertical edit from raw footage
- One example where you handled the colour grade yourself, along with what you were trying to achieve visually
Please include a reel or portfolio with your application.
What matters to us
- You're a strong communicator and contribute positively to the team
- You take ownership and have an internal compass
