About Open.cx<\/h4>\n

Open.cx is a Y Combinator-backed AI customer support platform trusted by enterprises such as Mollie, TicketSwap, and MoneyGram. We're a small, high-output team building AI that actually works \u2014 and we move fast. LinkedIn is a core growth channel for us, and our content lands in front of CEOs, founders, and C-level operators every day. We need a video editor who can match our energy and make that content impossible to scroll past.<\/p>\n

The role<\/h4>\n

We're not hiring someone to make \"polished corporate videos.\" We're hiring a video editor \u2014 someone who lives and breathes kinetic, short-form storytelling, with the production polish of a top-tier tech reviewer. Your job: make our LinkedIn videos so compelling that stopping the scroll feels involuntary to a busy CEO halfway through their morning.<\/p>\n

You'll own the full editing pipeline, from raw talking-head footage to a punchy, high-retention LinkedIn video ready to post.<\/p>\n

What you'll do<\/h4>\n

Retention-first storytelling:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Nail the first 3 seconds of every video like your job depends on it (because it does)<\/li>\n
• Edit talking-head LinkedIn videos in a fast, word-by-word caption style synced to every syllable<\/li>\n
• Build zoom punches, text pops, glitch transitions, and motion blur sequences that feel native to short-form<\/li>\n
• Land frame-perfect cuts timed to speech rhythm, breath pauses, and musical beats \u2014 nothing cuts by accident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Cinematic polish:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  \n
  • Execute cinematic color grading with custom LUTs, matched skin tones, and a consistent look across every clip<\/li>\n
  • Deliver pristine audio: noise reduction, EQ, de-essing, compression, and music ducking that lets speech breathe<\/li>\n
  • Mix sound design directly into the audio bed \u2014 wooshes, pops, clicks, and risers timed to the frame<\/li>\n
  • Stabilize, reframe, and clean every shot \u2014 no shaky footage, no off-axis horizons, no sloppy keyframes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Brand and visual system:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
    • Design floating lower thirds, name tags, and call-to-action end cards that feel brand-native, not template-y<\/li>\n
    • Cut subjects from backgrounds and create the \"floating\" professional look<\/li>\n
    • Produce and integrate B-roll that serves the narrative \u2014 stock, screen recordings, product shots, match cuts<\/li>\n
    • Maintain a tight 3-color palette and matching type system across every video with pixel-perfect consistency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Ownership and throughput:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
      • Build reusable motion graphic templates so output scales without sacrificing polish<\/li>\n
      • Review every frame like it's going on a billboard: obsess over details most viewers won't consciously notice but will feel<\/li>\n
      • Deliver 2\u20134 polished videos per week, consistently and on deadline, without quality drift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        How to apply<\/h4>\n

        We use a \"Show, Don't Tell\" process. No resume gets hired on its own.<\/p>\n

        Step 1 \u2014 Application:<\/strong> Submit your portfolio plus a 90-second video of yourself explaining why you're the right editor for an AI startup targeting enterprise decision-makers. Candidates who skip the video will not be reviewed.<\/p>\n

        Step 2 \u2014 Paid sample project:<\/strong> Top 3\u20135 candidates receive a short raw clip and get paid to edit it in our style. This is the real interview.<\/p>\n

        Step 3 \u2014 Culture chat:<\/strong> A 30-minute call with the team. We want to know if you take ownership, not just instructions.<\/p>\n

        Step 4 \u2014 Paid trial:<\/strong> We start with a 1-month paid trial. If it clicks for both sides, we make it official.<\/p>\n

        Requirements<\/h4>\n

        You are the right person if:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n

        • You obsess over the first 3 seconds of every video<\/li>\n
        • You know sound design is 50% of the edit<\/li>\n
        • You're proactive \u2014 you don't wait to be told what looks good<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Tools we expect you to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
          • Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve<\/li>\n
          • After Effects or CapCut (motion graphics)<\/li>\n
          • Photoshop or Remove.bg (background cutouts)<\/li>\n
