About Yarn

Video is the most compelling medium ever invented.

But even a single minute of video can take hours to make and expertise across multiple tools. 

AI will change this forever, and how we create and consume video will look completely different in 5 years time. We're starting by 1000Xing the amount of video made by software companies. Not just more video, but better video – compelling, authentic, entertaining, and beautiful.

We're taking a novel approach in the video space. We think making videos is reasoning-heavy, so we're focusing on using LLMs and interfaces to orchestrate the best domain-specific models.

Our investors include YCombinator, General Catalyst, Leonis Capital, and angels from Pika Labs, Roblox, and Adobe. 

About the role

Video is the most compelling medium ever invented.

But even a single minute of video can take hours to produce and requires expertise across multiple tools. We’re fixing that.

We’re a seed-stage tech startup based in SoHo NYC, building a creative video platform. Our customers include companies like Clay and Shopify, and we’re looking for a Narrative Video Editor to help us deliver world-class customer content.

This is a full-time, in-person, three-month contract role with the potential to convert to a permanent position.


What You’ll Do

We’re an experienced startup team building the future of creative tooling for video. You’ll join a small, talent-dense team of creatives, designers, and engineers. This role is in-person, 5 days a week, based out of our SoHo office.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Editing both high-end and social marketing videos in both supervised and unsupervised settings.
  • Collaborating with our engineers to improve content workflows and processes.
  • Taking ownership of projects and self-directing when necessary.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional video editing experience (social + high-end preferred).
  • Proficiency with Davinci, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Capcut or similar editing software.
  • Light motion graphics skills (After Effects, or similar).
  • You must have US work authorization and be based in NYC.
  • A professional reel or portfolio site is required to be considered for this position.
  • Bonus: Experience with on-set production — lighting, framing, and shooting — to support occasional in-house content needs
