At Evolve, we’re committed to not sucking. If you’re someone who’s also interested in not sucking, and who has hobbies like… oh, playing video games, reading about the games industry, promoting video games, trying to understand why games still cost $60, etc., you might be interested in working for us!

Why work at Evolve?

Just because! Oh fine, you need more real reasons. How about…

• Work from anywhere—home, the beach or even an alley. If your alley has internet.
• Flexible work hours and a 35-hour work week. Focus on the “life” part of “work-life balance.”
• Health and dental benefits.
• Be part of an agency with an exceptional reputation, aiming to break free from traditional game marketing in creative and exciting ways.
• Liberal vacation time: 3 weeks (15 biz days) minimum, plus Evolve Fridays: the second Friday of every month is a day off to enjoy time with friends, family, yourself… whatever!
• Work on a wide range of games, from AAA blockbusters to underdog indies.
• Educational allowance so you can get better at… well, whatever you’re doing.
• Enjoy working on a small team, wearing various hats. No funny hats, though. Oh, who am I kidding? Wear whatever hat you want, you weirdo.
• We <3 diversity. If you’re holding back from applying because of your gender, background, or anything else… please fight through the discomfort and apply!

Description

Are you an experienced video editor with a passion for video games? Do you like making videos that don’t suck? Sweet. Read on.

Evolve Originals is looking for a full-time video editor to help us make the best trailers, gameplay videos, and short-form content for games of all kinds.

We’re a small team where everyone has an opportunity to pitch in; ideally you’re a jack of all trades, able to capture gameplay, edit video, design and apply effects and motion graphics, and polish up sound. But hey, just note that if you’re not (yet) amazing at one or two of these things, we still encourage you to apply. The ideal candidate is highly self-motivated and well organized, and has a deep understanding of what players want to see in trailers. 

While most of the work revolves around trailer production, we’re also expanding how much short-form video content we do. Your experience in producing TikTok/Reels/YouTube content can really help us out. Additionally, it’s worth noting the “nice to have” parts below: we’d love to fill in some motion-graphics skills, as well as high-quality, cinematic gameplay capture, and even in-engine cinematics (Unreal, Unity). 

Responsibilities

• Create trailers, gameplay videos, and other promotional videos for Evolve’s gaming clients.
• Lead capture sessions and grab top-quality, eye-catching gameplay footage.
• Work closely with clients and our internal teams to set direction, share work in progress, take feedback, and ultimately make videos that not only look cool, but sell the game and fit the client brief.
• Produce short-form video content, including TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, for clients and internal teams.
• Work with our producer, clients, and team to stick to deadlines, communicate delays, and land within budget.
• Contribute to the development of concepts and scripts that are unique and attention grabbing.
• Design and apply motion graphics and visual effects.
• Participate in internal and client meetings as needed.
• Uphold principles of kindness, inclusiveness, compassion, accountability, and excellence.

Qualifications 

Nobody’s perfect, but the ideal candidate has some combination of the following. If you have some but not all, worth applying. Key thing: you know how to capture gameplay and make awesome videos. 

• 2+ years experience creating and editing video content for marketing purposes, with trailer experience a massive plus.
• Strong project management and organizational capabilities.
• Experience using Adobe suite (Premiere, After Effects).
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• A deep interest in video games, experience in the industry even better.
• Able to juggle several projects in different stages, and still able to focus and get things done.
• Highly self-motivated, you’re a critical thinker with strong problem-solving skills.
• Open to doing things differently, attracted to creative solutions and efficiency.

Nice to Have

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience creating and capturing cinematics in Unreal Engine and/or Unity.
• Know how to design incredible motion graphics, transitions, or visual effects.
• Are some hot-shit capture artist who just hits record and captures pure gold.
• Have experience producing live-action or virtual productions.
• Are a magical creature from across the universe who can solve all our problems by blinking your eyes or eye-like appendages quickly. Look, we can dream, right?
