Job Summary
Own PlanetScale's video program across customer stories, product launches, and social formats, shaping raw technical material into narrative-driven content. Set the creative bar for story, pacing, and visuals, then operate as a hands-on individual contributor to film on location, direct interviews, and manage the full production pipeline from assembly to final delivery. Edit long-form YouTube videos, launch assets, and short-form clips while building a lean workflow that balances speed with high-quality output. Travel for shoots at events and customer sites, and work remotely from our San Francisco Bay Area office as needed.

- Motion graphics and animation ability, with good judgment for when those tools make the story clearer or the video stronger

- Willingness and ability to travel for shoots at events and customer sites
- This role requires you to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area
- You may work remotely at times, but you will be expected to work from our San Francisco office when needed for filming, production, and other in-person work
Desired Qualifications
