Filmmaker

About Us

Encord is the universal data layer for AI, helping 300+ leading AI teams train and run models on the right data. Our platform indexes, curates, annotates, and evaluates data across the full AI lifecycle, from development through production. We're trusted by teams building autonomous vehicles at Woven by Toyota, drones at Zipline, enterprise AI at UiPath, and more.

The success of any AI system relies on the quality of its training data. Our customers are building some of the most ambitious AI systems in the world—self-driving cars analyzing sensor fusion, medical AI diagnosing from imaging data, humanoid robots learning from multimodal feedback. These are complex, highly visual stories that need to be told with clarity and impact.

We are an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of multimodal AI and are backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator. As we scale, we need someone who can capture and communicate the groundbreaking work our customers are doing—translating technical innovation into compelling visual narratives that resonate with enterprise buyers, investors, and the broader AI community.

The Role

We're looking for a mid–senior Filmmaker to own the full video creative lifecycle at Encord — from concept to final cut. You're equally excited and comfortable behind the camera as you are in the edit suite: shooting on location with customers worldwide, crafting product stories, and collaborating closely with our design and growth teams to create content that's both strategically sharp and visually compelling.

What You'll Do

Shooting & Production:
• Handle all on-site production: directing subjects, operating camera, managing lighting and audio, and adapting to varied environments
• Plan and execute on-location shoots with customers worldwide — interviews, product demonstrations, and b-roll capture
• Put people at ease on camera — skilled at building rapport quickly and drawing out natural, confident performances from customers and executives who aren't used to being filmed
• Own pre-production logistics — storyboarding, scheduling, equipment prep, and location scouting

Product & Company Content:
• Produce product demo videos and feature walkthroughs that make complex technical capabilities accessible to enterprise buyers
• Create company narrative content — brand films, culture videos, fundraising materials, and executive communications
• Build a reusable library of product footage and assets for use across sales, marketing, and investor contexts

Editing & Post-Production:
• Edit short to medium-form content across formats: customer stories, product explainers, social clips, and event recaps
• Enhance content with motion graphics, colour grading, and sound design
• Maintain a consistent visual identity across all output in line with Encord's brand

Collaboration:
• Work closely with Encord's design team to ensure video is coherent with the broader visual identity
• Partner with the growth team to align production with campaign timelines and demand generation goals
• Develop scripts and concepts that resonate with a technical, enterprise audience
• Coordinate with external freelancers or agencies when needed

What We're Looking For:
• 5–8 years as a filmmaker with a strong portfolio of long and short-form work
• Proven on-location shooting experience — comfortable operating camera and directing customers and executives in varied environments
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe CC; After Effects experience a strong plus
• Hands-on with professional cameras, audio, and lighting equipment
• Strong editorial instincts — narrative structure, pacing, and making technical content compelling
• Self-sufficient, organised, and comfortable managing multiple projects
• Comfortable with international travel
• Enthusiastic about using AI tools to enrich the creative process — whether that's accelerating post-production, generating rough cuts, enhancing audio, or exploring new ways to tell stories faster and better

Nice to Have:
• B2B or tech content experience; familiarity with AI or deep tech is a bonus
• 3D, data visualisation, or technical animation or motion graphic experience

Why Encord:
• High ownership and creative latitude from day one
• Travel to interesting places and tell the stories of teams building world leading AI
• Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
• A fast-moving team that values craft
