Accountabilities:
As a Video Editor and Quality Assurance Specialist, you will assess video content against professional production standards, provide structured feedback, and help improve the quality of AI-generated outputs. Your responsibilities will include:

• Review human-edited and AI-generated videos for pacing, continuity, transitions, shot selection, storytelling, visual consistency, and overall production quality.

• Conduct technical quality checks to identify frame-rate inconsistencies, dropped frames, codec issues, color mismatches, audio synchronization problems, compression artifacts, and export defects.

• Compare AI-generated video outputs to identify visual artifacts, unnatural motion, temporal inconsistencies, continuity issues, and editing-quality problems.

• Develop expert-level editing scenarios, reference examples, quality assessments, and structured feedback to support AI training projects.

• Verify that video deliverables comply with creative briefs, editing instructions, style guides, technical specifications, and project-specific evaluation criteria.

• Document editing errors clearly, explain their impact on the final output, and recommend appropriate corrections using professional editing terminology.

• Support quality calibration by helping establish consistent evaluation standards across reviewers, editors, and video assessment workflows.

• Ensure reviewed content meets professional expectations for visual storytelling, audiovisual coherence, technical delivery, and production quality.

• Requirements:

• The ideal candidate will bring substantial professional video editing experience, advanced technical knowledge, and the ability to assess creative work objectively. The following qualifications are required or preferred:

  • At least 5 years of professional video editing experience in film, television, broadcast, advertising, commercial production, digital media, or a related post-production environment.

  • English proficiency at C1--C2 level, with the ability to understand complex guidelines and provide detailed, precise written evaluations in English.

  • Previous experience as a Lead Editor, Senior Video Editor, Post-Production Supervisor, QC Coordinator, or in a comparable quality-focused role.

  • A professional video demo reel or portfolio with a working, shareable link is mandatory for the selection process. The portfolio should demonstrate professional editing capabilities, ideally through commercial, broadcast, film, television, or advanced digital video projects.

  • Strong understanding of editing fundamentals, including pacing, continuity, shot selection, narrative structure, transitions, visual composition, and storytelling.

  • In-depth knowledge of technical video standards, including frame rates, resolutions, codecs, containers, aspect ratios, color spaces, export settings, and broadcast or digital delivery specifications.

  • Experience with color correction and grading, audio editing, synchronization, sound mixing, subtitles, captions, and motion graphics.

  • Ability to identify subtle editing defects, including jump cuts, continuity errors, dropped frames, audio drift, inconsistent color, compression artifacts, inappropriate transitions, and technical delivery issues.

  • Excellent analytical judgment and attention to detail, with the ability to explain why an edit meets or falls short of professional standards.

  • Experience reviewing other editors' work, providing structured feedback, conducting technical quality control, or supervising post-production workflows.

  • A reliable, self-directed working style and the ability to maintain consistent quality in a remote contractor environment across time zones.

  • Previous experience with AI-generated video evaluation, AI data training, video annotation, multimedia quality assurance, or rubric-based evaluation is a strong advantage.
