Dodo Payments

<p><b>The opportunity</b></p>
<p>We are building Dodo into a content machine for builders, and the video side is where the brand lives or dies. Long-form YouTube, Shorts, Reels. We need someone who has cut dev or technical content before and knows the difference between a Fireship cut and a corporate brand video. Those are not the same craft.<b></b></p>
<p>You will own the video output end to end: long-form, short-form, motion, captions, thumbnails (or coordinating with whoever does them). You will work alongside a Content Producer and at least one founder who will be on camera.</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>You probably look like one of these</b></p>
<p><strong>An editor credited on a dev YouTube channel (Fireship-adjacent, Theo, Primeagen, ByteByteGo, Web Dev Simplified, similar).</strong> DM us; we already follow you.<b></b></p>
<p>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.<b></b></p>
<p>A freelance editor with a serious devtools brand portfolio (Notion, Linear, Retool, Posthog, Resend, Vercel launch films, or work in that orbit).</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>What you will actually do</b></p>
<p>Cut one long-form YouTube per week, 10 to 20 min. Technical explainers, founder-led commentary, builder interviews, product deep dives.<b></b></p>
<p>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.<b></b></p>
<p>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.<b></b></p>
<p>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.<b></b></p>
<p>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.<b></b></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>What we look for</b><b></b></p>
<p>Demonstrable taste in dev or technical video specifically. Not wedding reels. Not generic corporate brand films. Not real estate.<b></b></p>
<p>Speed. A 60-second Short is not a two-day project for you.<b></b></p>
<p>Retention thinking. You know why hooks matter. You can read a retention graph and tell us what went wrong at the 35-second drop.<b></b></p>
<p>AI-assisted editing already in your workflow. Descript transcription, Opus Clip, AI roto, AI denoise, etc. Not theoretical.<b></b></p>
<p>Range. You can do a polished long-form documentary cut and a feral 45-second Short in the same week.<b></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>You are not the right fit if</b></p>
<p>Your reel is mostly weddings, real estate, generic corporate, or pure music videos.<b></b></p>
<p>You need a tight script and storyboard handed to you before you can move.<b></b></p>
<p>You think Shorts are below your craft. They are roughly half the job.<b></b></p>
<p>You only know Premiere and refuse to try anything else. The tooling moves quarterly now.<b></b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>The audition (more useful than any interview)</b></p>
<p>We hand you a 20-minute raw recording. You cut one long-form version (under 12 min) and three Shorts hooks from it. We pay for the audition at your rate.<b></b></p>
<p>We then sit down and walk through it together. What you cut, what you kept, what you would have shot differently. That conversation tells us almost everything.</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>Compensation and logistics</b></p>
<p>Competitive base plus equity. Contractors welcome at the start; we convert fast for the right person.<b></b></p>
<p>On-site at our Bangalore office, five days a week. Most shoots happen in the office or on location with founders. This role does not work remote.<b></b></p>
<p>Gear and software budget fully covered. If your machine is slowing you down, we replace it.<strong></strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>What we want from any application:</strong><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Three to five pieces of video you cut, with a one-line note on what you were trying to do and what worked.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The retention or view-through data, if you have it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A note on the AI-assisted parts of your workflow.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>No cover letter required. Just send the work.</p>
