Be part of ImagineArt

ImagineArt is one of the fastest-growing GenAI companies globally — 35M ARR, 100M+ social impressions, and a proprietary image model ranked among the best in the world for photorealism. All without external funding.

Now we need someone to tell the story behind the product, and make it look as good as the product itself. Your work will be seen by millions.

Job Summary

We're looking for a Cinematographer & Editor who will work directly alongside founders to capture the real, unfiltered story of ImagineArt — behind-the-scenes moments, product launches, milestones, and daily life — and shape it into short-form content people want to watch and share. This isn't just a "point and shoot" role. We need someone who understands light, composition, and pacing, and who can bring a real creative eye to everything we put out.

You'll own the full pipeline: ideate the story, direct the shoot, capture it, edit it, ship it. No layers. No approval chains.

Key Responsibilities

Create short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and X
Shoot and direct behind-the-scenes footage from founders' lives, product launches, events, and meetings
Bring strong creative direction to every shoot — lighting, framing, camera movement, and visual style
Help founders build authentic, engaging personal brands on camera
Manage in-house podcast setup (camera, audio, lighting)
Develop recurring content formats that showcase ImagineArt's people, culture, and products
Take ownership of the full edit — pacing, sound design, color, story structure
Experiment with new formats and iterate quickly based on performance

Requirements

2+ years of experience as a cinematographer, videographer, or editor
Strong command of camera work — lighting, lenses, composition, movement
Photography skills alongside videography
Strong creative direction and storytelling instincts — able to ideate concepts, not just execute someone else's
Proficiency with Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar
Deep understanding of Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and platform-specific trends
Ability to take content from concept to publication independently
