Video Editor (Short Form – TikTok/IG Reels)

Shadow Light Studios | Remote

Hey

We are hiring an A+ team at Shadow Light Studios, where we help major creators and brands like Machine Gun Kelly, Poppi, Apple, Snapchat, Golden Goose, and Johnny Chang go viral — not once, but over and over again.

We’re a small, elite team that thrives on speed, taste, and instinct — and we’re growing fast. That’s why we’re looking for an exceptional Video Editor who knows how to turn raw footage into algorithm gold.

What You’ll Do

• Edit fast-paced, thumb-stopping TikToks and Reels for major brands and creators

• Apply viral editing principles: strong hooks, meme integration, visual storytelling, retention tricks

• Work with our creative team on concepts, pacing, storytelling angles, and punchlines

• Adapt footage across platforms, repurpose content, and keep things fresh

• Push boundaries — with style, sound, timing, and ideas

What We’re Looking For

• A portfolio that slaps — we want to see edits that made people stop scrolling

• Fluency in the language of TikTok, IG Reels, and YouTube Shorts

• Comfort working with raw footage and building from scratch

• Skills in Adobe Premiere, CapCut, After Effects, or similar — whatever makes you fast and deadly

• Speed, reliability, and a creative POV

• Bonus points if you’ve worked with creator-led brands or influencer content

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Work on 🔥 projects with brands everyone talks about

• Full creative freedom — we don’t micromanage, we collaborate

• Remote, async, and flexible — we care about output, not hours

• Be part of a team that’s obsessed with staying ahead of the curve

• Huge opportunity to grow into a lead or creative director role

Apply now with your portfolio, and show us what viral means to you.

We’re hiring immediately.

Let’s make things people can’t stop watching.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Recruiters get location flexibility: the SLS part-time role is fully remote and asynchronous.
India designers get performance upside: SLS lists project bonuses for high output and quality.
Setters earn results-based incentives: SLS links additional compensation to booked calls.

What critics are saying

Recruiter pay is limited: the part-time SLS opening lists $500-$1,000 monthly in US dollars.
Editors need Adobe skills: the SLS India role requires Premiere Pro and After Effects without exceptions.
Social managers face a time preference: SLS favors US overlap, ideally California hours.

What makes Shadow Light Studios unique

Client revisions have a boundary: SLS includes two rounds in its production process.
