Senior Video Producer

Job description

About Platform Engineering Platform Engineering ( platformengineering.org ) is home to the world's largest community of platform engineers. Through PlatformCon , one of the world's largest conferences dedicated to platform engineering, we bring together more than 50,000 engineers, technology leaders, and decision-makers every year to share ideas, showcase innovation, and shape the future of internal developer platforms. Alongside our events, we publish research, run a university, and produce content that reaches hundreds of thousands of engineers worldwide. In practice, we're a media house for a technical audience.

Define and maintain our remote production standards for cameras, lenses, microphones, lighting, and backgrounds, and set up the team so a home office consistently produces broadcast-credible video. Coach on-camera talent, including our founders, on framing, audio, pacing, and delivery, and hold the standard once it's set. Edit the majority of our weekly output across long-form, interview, explainer, event, and short-form content.
