About Radiate

Radiate is a San Diego–based real estate media company providing high-quality photography, videography, drone, 3D tours, floor plans, and marketing assets for residential and luxury properties throughout San Diego County. We focus on consistency, reliability, and delivering polished media with fast turnaround times.

Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for capturing a variety of real estate media content for properties across San Diego County. While your primary focus may be photography or videography, your work will include capturing high-quality photos, videos, drone footage, 3D tours, floor plans, and more.

Most days will involve shooting properties in the field. During slower periods or limited-shoot days, you may assist with editing projects, learn new shooting techniques, organize media, and contribute to internal initiatives that support Radiate’s growth.

This is a physically demanding role that requires flexibility and consistency. Some days you’ll be shooting high-end coastal or luxury homes under ideal conditions. On other days, you may need to navigate tight condo complexes, smaller units, or challenging access. Regardless of the project, we expect professionalism, reliability, and pride in your work.
