Video Script Writer

  • Hybrid
  • 3-6 years

Salary

$105,600 - 132,000/ year

Description

The technical content team is hiring a video writer to make complex technical topics clear and useful for practitioners. You will write scripts and narratives that show customers how to get more from the products, across technical explainers, feature roundups, podcast-style conversations, and new video formats.

You will shape stories with the screen in mind, not just the words. You will work with the video team, motion graphics animators, and technical experts to build new topics and formats, turn technical details into engaging stories, and keep every piece accurate and relevant to practitioners.

The company runs as a hybrid workplace, with people in the office three days per week, so teams can meet, collaborate, and balance work and life in the way that suits them.

Responsibilities

  • Work with video producers, product managers, product marketers, technical advocacy, and engineers to write project briefs, outlines, storyboards, and scripts for original videos.
  • Write companion pieces such as YouTube descriptions, blog posts, and social posts.
  • Use AI tools to speed up outlining, research, and development.
  • Find useful visuals and capture clear, high-quality screen recordings of product features.
  • Check that content is technically accurate, matches the brand voice and tone, and shows customer value clearly.
  • Help with post-production, including video editing, sound mixing, and closed captions.

Requirements

  • You show a strong talent for video storytelling through writing samples and a portfolio.
  • You have hands-on video editing experience with tools such as Premiere or Final Cut Pro, motion graphics tools such as AfterEffects, and AI tools for editing.
  • You take initiative and manage several projects at once with little supervision.
  • You have 2-5 years of experience writing scripts for a technology company or working as a technical journalist. Experience as a technical advocate or engineer is a plus.
  • You understand how software is built and run in production, including how teams monitor app performance and handle security risks.
  • You do not need to meet every requirement today. If you care about technology and want to grow, you are encouraged to apply.

Conditions

Hybrid work, three days per week in the office.

Pay range is $105,600 - $132,000 USD per year, based on skills, qualifications, and experience. Variable compensation may also apply.

Location and employment terms may affect which benefits apply.

Benefits

  • Restricted stock units (RSUs) and an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).
  • Ongoing professional development, product training, and career pathing.
  • An assigned TPM mentor and an engineering buddy to support learning and building relationships.
  • An inclusive culture, employee resource groups called Community Guilds, in-person team summits, and local office events.
  • Global benefits, including free mental health support for employees and dependents aged 6 and up.
  • Healthcare, dental, parental planning, mental health, a 401(k) with match, paid time off, fitness reimbursement, and a discounted stock purchase plan.
