About Tradeify

Tradeify is a fast-growing futures trading company built to help traders access the tools, technology, and opportunities they need to succeed. We combine a trader-first approach with modern technology to create a reliable, transparent, and engaging experience for our growing community.

The Opportunity

Video is one of the most important ways we reach and educate traders. We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who is S-tier at ads, promo videos, and explainer videos and can raise the quality bar across everything we publish. You'll turn briefs, raw footage, AI-generated footage, screen recordings, and rough ideas into sharp, high-performing videos that drive sign-ups and build trust with a trader audience that spots fluff immediately.

You'll own post-production for our most important creative, work closely with marketing, design, and social, and help set the standard for video at Tradeify.

Want a sense of the bar? Watch our TradeifyFX Launch Video https://youtu.be/J128wm5ugk8. If you can make something like this, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Do

  • Edit and deliver high-performing ad creative for Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and X, with strong hooks, tight pacing, and multiple variants built for testing
  • Produce polished promo videos for product launches, campaigns, partnerships, and brand moments
  • Craft clear, engaging explainer videos that make trading products, rules, and platform features easy to understand
  • Edit and shape AI-generated footage alongside live-action and screen-recorded material into cohesive, premium-looking videos
  • Add motion graphics, animated text, UI and screen-recording treatments, sound design, and color to give every video a premium finish
  • Adapt videos across formats and aspect ratios (9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9) and cut multiple versions from a single master
  • Work with marketing and performance teams to apply results (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, conversion) to future edits
  • Maintain brand consistency and build reusable templates, assets, and project libraries that speed up the whole pipeline
  • Work with product, support, and compliance so videos are accurate, consistent, and properly disclosed
  • Mentor junior editors and freelancers and help raise the creative standard across the team

What We Are Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional video editing experience, with a portfolio showing top-tier work in ads, promo videos, and explainer videos
  • Expert-level skills in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or DaVinci Resolve with strong motion design skills)
  • A track record of ad creative that performed, and the ability to explain why it worked
  • Excellent storytelling instincts: you know how to hook in the first seconds and hold attention to the end
  • Strong command of pacing, typography, sound design, and music selection
  • Ability to turn complex or technical topics, such as finance, trading, or software, into clear, engaging visuals
  • Familiarity with financial marketing rules, including avoiding profit guarantees and including appropriate risk disclosures
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and hit deadlines in a fast-moving, high-volume environment
  • Openness to feedback and a collaborative approach to revisions

Nice to Have

  • A background in videography or cinematography, since we generate much of our footage with AI and a trained eye for composition, lighting, and camera language helps
  • Familiarity with AI video and audio tools (such as Higgsfield, Seedance, and ElevenLabs) and generative workflows
  • Experience in fintech, trading, crypto, or financial services
  • 2D/3D animation skills (Cinema 4D, Blender) or Figma-to-motion workflows
  • Experience with creator or UGC-style and short-form social content

Why Join Tradeify

  • Own the quality of video across the business, with real influence over how Tradeify looks and sounds
  • Gain exposure to brand, product, community, and growth work instead of being limited to one area
  • Ship frequently and see the direct impact of your work across the business
  • Learn from experienced marketers and senior team members while developing greater ownership and independence
  • Work in a remote-friendly, fast-moving environment
  • Receive competitive compensation and benefits
