Founding Creative & Videographer

Responsibilities

• You own the way Aurelius is seen. The visual system, the narrative, the shots, the cuts, the stories we tell about what we’re building and the people building it. Factory floor in Detroit. Field tests on the range. Founders working late in SF. Lasers hitting drones at full power. All of it, through your lens.
• You’ll travel with the team. You’ll be in the room for things most creatives never get to see. You’ll ship fast, you’ll shoot more than we can post, and you’ll have real ownership on what makes it out the door.
• Visual and narrative system for Aurelius across YouTube, X, and launch content
• Shoot, edit, and ship end to end. Camera to final cut
• Factory and shop floor documentation in Detroit and SF
• Field test coverage on the 400-acre range. Lasers hitting drones. Real footage, not stock
• Founder and ghost writing short, punchy, high-cadence
• Long-form product and launch films that set the standard for how defense tech gets shown
• The branding and company look. You make the hard engineering actually look as cool as it is

Requirements

• Shipped real YouTube. Channel, series, or long-form product or factory films you owned end to end
• Portfolio that proves it. Reel plus links. No resumes
• Gone viral or broken through on X or YouTube with hardware, industrial, auto, aerospace, or defense-adjacent work
• Set the look for something and then gotten behind the camera and cut it yourself
• Talked shop with at least one founder shipping real product, not just decks
• Native English speaker
• Where You Probably Come From: Hardware or industrial YouTube channels you ran yourself. Auto, aerospace, or defense creative shops where you did more than one job. Studios where you were the whole stack from brief to delivery. Founder-adjacent creative seats where the content shipped fast and performed.
• We Want to Talk If: You’ve built an audience from scratch on hard-to-film subjects. You’ve made industrial look beautiful. You’ve shot in environments most creatives would never go. You want the ownership and the range of a founding seat.
• Not a Fit If: You direct and don’t shoot. You need an agency wrapper around you to work. Your reel is all polish and no substance.
