About the role
Dodo Payments is building a content operation aimed at builders, with the video side carrying the brand across long-form YouTube, Shorts and Reels — technical explainers, founder-led commentary, builder interviews and product deep dives. The role works alongside a Content Producer and at least one founder who appears on camera, owning the video output end to end including long-form cuts, short-form hooks, motion, captions and thumbnails. Work is on-site at the Bangalore office five days a week, with most shoots in the office or on location with founders.
What you will do
- You will own the video output end to end: long-form, short-form, motion, captions, thumbnails (or coordinating with whoever does them).
- Cut one long-form YouTube per week, 10 to 20 min. Technical explainers, founder-led commentary, builder interviews, product deep dives.
- Pull four to five Shorts or Reels per week. Hooks under three seconds. Captions everywhere. Tight pacing. Built for the platform, not retrofitted from the long form.
- Handle the visual language of dev content: code on screen, terminal flashes, fast B-roll, motion graphics where they earn their keep, restraint everywhere else.
- Work in whatever ships fastest. Descript, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, CapCut for short-form (whatever you are quickest in). We fund the tool. We do not argue the choice.
- Shoot when needed. We will not always have a crew. A camera, decent audio, and a willingness to direct a founder through a take are part of the job in the first year.
- Push back on the producer. Tell us when the take is bad, when the script will not cut, when a thumbnail is lying about the video.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- An editor credited on a dev YouTube channel (Fireship-adjacent, Theo, Primeagen, ByteByteGo, Web Dev Simplified, similar). DM us; we already follow you.
- A dev YouTuber who edits their own channel and would trade the ad-rev grind for a stable role with a real distribution team behind you.
- A freelance editor with a serious devtools brand portfolio (Notion, Linear, Retool, Posthog, Resend, Vercel launch films, or work in that orbit).
- Demonstrable taste in dev or technical video specifically. Not wedding reels. Not generic corporate brand films. Not real estate.
- Speed. A 60-second Short is not a two-day project for you.
- Retention thinking. You know why hooks matter. You can read a retention graph and tell us what went wrong at the 35-second drop.
- AI-assisted editing already in your workflow. Descript transcription, Opus Clip, AI roto, AI denoise, etc. Not theoretical.
- Range. You can do a polished long-form documentary cut and a feral 45-second Short in the same week.
Benefits and support
- Competitive base plus equity
- Gear and software budget fully covered
- If your machine is slowing you down, we replace it.
- We fund the tool.
