We’re a video game publisher passionate about bringing unforgettable gaming experiences to players worldwide.

This is a chance to shape how millions of players see our games across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and beyond.
You’ll collaborate closely with producers, designers, and developers to ensure our content is polished, entertaining, and authentic to our games and community.

Collaboration: Work with marketing, community, and dev teams to capture gameplay footage, source assets, and tell authentic stories.
Stay Ahead of Trends: Bring fresh ideas by tracking gaming video trends, meme culture, and editing styles popular with gamers.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 2 years of professional video editing (agency, publisher, YouTube, social, or entertainment industry experience a plus).
Technical Skills: Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or equivalent), After Effects, Photoshop/Illustrator (bonus), and motion graphics.
Gaming Knowledge: Familiarity with Steam games and the gaming landscape — you know what excites players and how to make content resonate.
Creative Storytelling: Ability to cut and pace content for maximum emotional impact, hype, or humor depending on the project.
Social Media Fluency: Understanding of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and what works best on each platform.
Collaboration: Comfortable working cross-functionally with marketing, PR, and developers.
Proactive & Adaptive: You can juggle multiple projects, shift gears quickly, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
