Video Editor

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list .

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

About the Role:

Ambient is hiring its first dedicated video editor to join a two-person creative team, working directly with our Sr. Creative Manager. This person will support the end-to-end process, playing a huge part in editing, motion design, and final delivery across social, web, product marketing, events, and sales enablement. A significant part of this role is fast, social-native video that drives engagement and builds brand affinity - primarily short-form vertical content for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts - alongside long-form storytelling for campaigns and product launches, including our monthly product release notes video. Because we work inside secure facilities like warehouses, hospitals, school districts, and corporate campuses, privacy shapes both our product and our brand guidelines, so you'll find creative ways to tell visual stories without identifiable faces in B-roll. This is a chance to help define the visual language of an entirely new category being rebuilt around AI.

What You'll Do:

Edit short-form vertical video optimized for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts, with strong hooks, pacing, captions, and storytelling structures built for retention

Repurpose long-form footage into multiple short-form assets to extend the reach of every shoot

Build and extend our motion graphics system, including titles, lower thirds, UI callouts, animated diagrams, and transitions

Capture and animate product UI to explain how the platform works

Produce brand videos, product explainers, customer stories, and launch content, including our monthly product release notes video

Partner with product marketing, demand generation, and sales enablement to take briefs from concept through final delivery

Maintain visual consistency with brand guidelines across every asset, and contribute ideas that connect storytelling to brand positioning and pipeline goals

Help launch Ambient's podcast from the ground up - format, recording workflow, and editing - as a new storytelling channel alongside our video content

What You'll Bring:

3-5 years of professional video editing experience, ideally in-house or at an agency

A strong portfolio showcasing both editing craft and short-form, social-native content

Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with working comfort in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma

A strong foundation in pacing, visual storytelling, sound design, and post-production fundamentals

Comfort with typography and layout in motion, working inside an established brand system

Strong organizational skills, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Enough camera, lighting, and audio literacy to set up and record a clean talking-head shot

Bonus:

Comfort presenting on camera - not required, but if you enjoy it, the monthly release notes video and feature-length YouTube shorts are yours to host

Experience producing, recording, or editing a podcast, especially standing one up from scratch

Comfort with AI and emerging creative tools, using them to work faster without compromising quality, authenticity, or editorial judgment

Experience in B2B, enterprise software, or another technical category

Experience animating software UI or explaining technical systems visually

Experience with a digital asset management system or collaborative cloud post-production workflows such as Frame.io

Experience collaborating with or coaching executives on video content

Why join us:

We are creating an entirely new category within a 180+ billion-dollar physical security industry and looking for team members who are also passionate about our mission to prevent every security incident possible

We have an impressive customer roster of F500 companies, including Adobe, SentinelOne and TikTok

Regular Full-time employees receive stock options for the opportunity to share ownership in the success of our company

Comprehensive health + welfare package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, EAP, Legal Services, 401k plan)

We offer flexible time off to rest and recharge, including Winter Break (time off between Christmas and New Year’s for most roles, depending on customer demand)

The latest tech and awesome swag will be delivered to your door

Enjoy a full range of opportunities to connect with your awesome co-workers
