Requirements

• You’re deeply interested in startups, AI, technology, and the internet, and already understand YC and startup culture. You know the companies, people, ideas, and conversations that matter in this world.
• You’re intellectually curious and learn quickly. You can get up to speed on an unfamiliar company or technical subject without needing everything explained to you.
• You have some experience producing or editing video, podcasts, or other media.
• You’re a strong writer and researcher with good editorial instincts. You can recognize what’s actually interesting about a person, company, or idea and explain complicated technical topics clearly.
• You’re extremely organized, reliable, and comfortable managing lots of small details across several projects at once. You communicate clearly and follow up quickly.
• You’re willing to do whatever needs to be done to make a production successful, whether that’s editing a clip, researching a guest, updating a calendar, or grabbing lunch for a shoot.
• You have strong attention to detail. A wrong link, missing file, forgotten follow-up, or stale calendar entry bothers you. You should be able to spot the difference between Arial and Helvetica or know if it's a Dutch or French flag.
• You have some hands-on experience with cameras, audio, and video production equipment. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable helping set up and operate gear on shoots.
• You’re able to safely lift up to 50 pounds as needed for production gear and shoot setup.
• This is a good role for someone early in their media career who wants to learn the entire production process rather than specialize in one narrow part of it.
