About the role
HackerRank's Content Studio is building a production function that moves at the speed of ideas. As our Video Editor, you'll own the full post-production process across formats and platforms, from LinkedIn clips and YouTube explainers to event highlights and executive content. This is not a support role. You'll be a creative decision-maker who ships finished work, uses AI tools to compress timelines, and raises the bar on what in-house video can look and feel like.
What you鈥檒l do
- Edit across formats, including short-form social, long-form YouTube, event recaps, and product content, adapting pacing and energy for each platform without a separate brief
- Work directly from raw footage, rough briefs, or messy transcripts and make confident creative calls without needing hand-holding
- Use AI-powered tools (Runway, Descript, Kapwing, Remotion, or equivalents) to reduce turnaround time while maintaining quality
- Operate in our Bangalore studio with real gear: hi fidelity cameras, VP screen, and broadcast-grade audio
- Turn around same-day cuts, respond to async feedback, and move through iterative review cycles without losing momentum
- Build and maintain a library of reusable templates, motion elements, and brand-consistent MOGRT assets that reduce repeat effort
- Manage and brief external editors when volume demands it, maintaining quality and consistency across everything that ships
- Collaborate closely with the Studio Production Manager, Product teams and cross-functional stakeholders to align on goals before the first frame is cut
Who you are
- You think in stories first and timelines second. The edit is a creative act, not a technical one, for you
- You're fluent in at least one major NLE (Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut) and know your way around the AI tools that are reshaping post-production and have done this for 2+ years without getting bored.
- You understand what makes content work on LinkedIn, YouTube, and short-form platforms, and you make format-specific decisions instinctively
- You work well in tight feedback loops. Iterative cuts, last-minute changes, and async reviewer comments don't break your rhythm
- You take ownership. If something isn't landing, you flag it and propose a fix rather than waiting to be redirected
- You communicate clearly with non-editors. You can explain a creative choice without jargon and take direction without losing your point of view
- You're organized under pressure. Multiple projects, overlapping deadlines, shifting priorities: you have a system and you use it
Even better if you have
- Light motion graphics or basic animation skills that reduce dependency on external studios
- Experience shooting or editing executive or thought leadership content, where the story lives in the subtlety
- Familiarity with Remotion, Claude Code, or other programmatic video tools that push beyond traditional editing workflows
You will thrive in this role if
- You'd rather ship a good cut today than wait for a perfect brief tomorrow
- You see AI tools as a creative accelerator, not a shortcut or a threat
- You find energy in a fast-moving, small team where your output is visible and your decisions actually matter
