Senior Video Editor

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to define the visual language of the next creative frontier. As our Senior Video Editor, you will partner directly with leadership to craft the cinematic launch assets that introduce Luma's groundbreaking multimodal AI models to millions of creators worldwide.

Responsibilities

• Owning the end-to-end video editing, pacing, and narrative structure for Luma's major product launch assets and brand campaigns.
• Building sound design in tandem with the edit, creating a cohesive and immersive audio-visual experience from the first cut.
• Translating raw, cutting-edge model outputs and product features into cohesive, visually stunning, and emotionally resonant narratives.
• Collaborating closely with Brett Wietecha, a senior motion designer, and researchers to define the aesthetic direction and visual identity of our public-facing brand.
• Incorporating advanced motion graphics, typography, and sound design to elevate every asset to a world-class standard of craft.
• Iterating rapidly in a high-velocity, high-feedback environment, moving from rough concepts to polished, final-render assets under tight launch timelines (e.g., 2.5 weeks for a major asset).
• Establishing scalable creative workflows and asset pipelines to support a continuous stream of high-impact product announcements.

Requirements

• 3-5+ years of professional video editing and motion design experience, ideally within creative ad agencies, boutique studios, or cutting-edge brand teams.
• A proven "builder" with a stunning, hands-on portfolio that demonstrates a highly opinionated aesthetic taste, exceptional cinematic pacing, and meticulous attention to detail.
• Expert proficiency in industry-standard creative tools, specifically After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.
• Master of sound design, with a portfolio that proves you can build a rich, narrative-driven soundscape from the ground up.
• High agency and the ability to operate with extreme autonomy, taking complete ownership of projects from initial concept to final delivery.
• Thriving in a high-feedback environment, viewing direct and blunt critique as a tool for creative excellence and separating personal attachment from the work.
• A genuine passion for the creative potential of AI and a deep alignment with Luma's mission to expand human imagination.

Qualifications

• Experience working with generative AI tools (e.g., Dream Machine, Runway, Midjourney) in professional creative workflows (bonus points).
• Strong skills in 3D motion design or tools like Cinema4D or Blender (bonus points).
• A public-facing presence or active participation in online design, video editing, or motion graphics communities (bonus points).
• Experience cutting high-profile, brand-defining advertisements or cinematic trailers for top-tier creative agencies or studios (bonus points).
