Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our culture page to understand what drives us and how we work. The team Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the world's longest-standing crypto platforms, trusted by over 10 million individuals and institutions across the globe. It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients. We’re looking for a world-class AI Video Editor who thrives at the intersection of creativity, performance marketing, and cutting-edge technology.

This role requires deep mastery of both traditional editing software (Adobe suite) and advanced AI video tools (Google Veo 3, Runway, Pika, and other leading platforms).

• Ensure brand consistency and compliance across all regions and platforms.
• Continuously test and optimize video creative based on data-driven performance insights.
• Build scalable video templates and workflows to support rapid localization and high-volume production.
• Stay ahead of the curve on AI editing advancements, generative tools, and creative best practices.
• Be scrappy and resourceful — always experimenting, finding faster/better ways to deliver content at scale.
• Act as a trailblazer within the team: eagerly learn and master new AI video technologies before anyone else, show what’s possible, and train others on tools and workflows they didn’t even know existed.
• Additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

What You Bring
