Drive end-to-end short-form video creation for Codie, turning raw footage into viral TikToks and Reels with AI-assisted workflows.

  • Must-have: Proven viral growth on TikTok or Instagram with explainable results.
  • Standout: On-set collaboration with talent and rapid shipping.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Turn raw Codie footage from anything from podcasts, YouTube shoots, behind-the-scenes, in-the-car rants into native TikToks and IG Reels that stop thumbs
  • Build and maintain vibe-coded content systems: prompt stacks for hooks, caption generators, format libraries that compound over time
  • Use AI to compress hours of ideation into minutes then override the output with taste
  • Film on your phone with Codie and the team (no fancy rigs, we want the real stuff)
  • Ride trends early. You should be sending us sounds and formats before we've heard of them
  • Write hooks that earn the next three seconds, then the next ten, then the watch-through
  • Write captions that pull comments, saves, and profile visits
  • Cut in CapCut. Fast. Shoot this morning, upload this afternoon.
  • Report in on the analytics. Feed retention curves back into your prompt systems & iterate formats based on what’s hitting.
  • Collaborate with the YouTube Shorts and IG leads so the best clips can be modified to run everywhere

Requirements

  • You can show us what you’ve already built with LLMs using prompt stacks, automations, content workflows
  • You've grown a TikTok or IG account. A brand, a creator, your own account. Doesn’t matter what, just real growth you can show us and explain
  • You know why something went viral, not just that it did
  • You can do basic design work in Canva or Figma like grids, carousel layouts & text-on-screen that actually looks good
  • You're fast. You ship. You don't need three rounds of approval to cut a 22-second video
  • You can watch a 60-minute podcast and timestamp the ten moments that would hit
  • Business, finance, entrepreneurship interests you
  • You're comfortable on set, comfortable with talent, comfortable pitching ideas in a room full of opinions
  • You have spicy takes. About the algorithm, about what's dead on TikTok, about what the next platform is
  • You're obsessed with the collision of storytelling and technology

Preferred

  • Experience with AI-powered content workflows
  • Ability to collaborate effectively on set with talent
  • Interest in the collision of storytelling and technology
  • Comfort with rapid experimentation and shipping early
