Video Producer

Required

• You take input well from leadership and cross-functional partners while still bringing your own creative ideas to the work.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and high ownership. PlanetScale moves fast, and you'll be expected to bias toward action without letting quality slip.
• A strong portfolio showing range across polished narrative work, quick-turn edits, social cuts, and/or short-form video. Your portfolio matters more than your resume.
• Demonstrated experience filming, directing, and editing projects end to end as an individual contributor.
• Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or equivalent.
• Experience shooting on location, including interviews, with the ability to handle your own lighting and audio.
• Motion graphics and animation ability, with good judgment for when those tools make the story clearer or the video stronger.
• Strong project management skills, including planning shoots, managing footage, organizing feedback, and delivering on deadlines.
• 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.
• Experience in developer tools, infrastructure, databases, or another engineering-focused space.
• Experience producing content for YouTube, social, or a public creative channel where you developed a strong sense of audience and format.
