What ScaleX Is
We build AI-native content for e-commerce brands — short films, product ads, brand stories, statics, the whole creative range. The work is fast, experimental, and entirely AI-first. Every video, frame, voice, and visual is built using AI tools. No traditional shoots, no stock footage crutches.
We're hiring a designer who can think like a director and execute like an editor — someone whose first instinct when looking at a product is
what's the story here, and how do I make someone stop scrolling
What You'll Actually Do
- Take an e-commerce brand or product and figure out the story — angles, pacing, emotion, hook, payoff
- Build the visuals end-to-end using AI tools: Veo, Sora, Runway for video; Midjourney, Nano Banana, Flux for image, ElevenLabs, Suno for audio, HeyGen, Synthesia for avatars when needed
- Edit, sequence, and finish the work to a level you'd be proud to put on your reel
- Move between formats fluidly — Reels, Shorts, TikTok ads, longer brand films, statics, carousels, thumbnails. Whatever the brand needs.
- Sometimes you'll get a tight script and concept. Sometimes you'll be ideating from a blank page. Both happen.
- Stay on top of the AI tooling landscape — new model drops, new techniques, new workflows. We expect you to bring things to the table, not wait to be told.
Who We're Looking For
- The non-negotiables:**
- 2–5 years of design and/or video editing experience with a portfolio that proves you have taste
- A real point of view on storytelling — you can talk about *why* a cut works, not just *that* it does
- Strong attention to detail. Typography, timing, color, sound design — the small things that separate good from great
- Comfortable with at least a few AI tools already, and genuinely excited by the rest
- A sense of curiosity and self-direction. You read the AI subreddits, follow the right people on X, try the new tool the day it drops. Not because someone told you to — because you can't help it.
- Bonus points:**
- Past work for e-commerce, DTC, or performance-marketing brands
- Some scripting or copywriting instinct
- You've shipped AI-generated content publicly (on your own brand, a client's, or experimental personal work)
What Your Portfolio Should Show
We know AI video work is new and most strong portfolios won't have much of it yet. That's fine. What we're looking for instead:
- **Storytelling chops** — pieces where the structure, pacing, or angle is clearly intentional
- **Range** — short-form ad work, longer narrative pieces, statics, whatever shows you can switch gears
- **Detail** — finishing quality. Polished frames, clean type, thoughtful sound
If you do have AI-generated work, even rough experiments, please include it. Personal projects count.
The assignment
We'll send shortlisted candidates a short unpaid assignment: pick one product (we'll give you a few options), and create a 15–30 second AI-generated ad for it. You choose the angle, the story, the tools.
We're Evaluating Three Things
- **Concept** — was the angle interesting Did you find a story most people would have missed
- **Execution** — does the final video look and feel good Is it tight
- **Process** — we'll ask you to walk us through your thinking and tooling. Self-awareness about your choices matters as much as the choices themselves.
Plan for roughly 4–6 hours of your time. We don't want you grinding for a week on this.
How To Apply
Send us:
- Your portfolio (link is fine — Behance, personal site, Vimeo, Drive, whatever)
- A short note on the AI tools you've been playing with recently and what you've made with them (one paragraph, not an essay)
- Anything else you think we should see
No cover letter required. Templates and AI-written applications are easy to spot — we'd rather hear you in your own voice, even if it's three lines.
- ScaleX is a small, fast-moving team. You'll have direct access to founders, real ownership over the work, and a front-row seat to one of the most interesting shifts happening in content right now. If that sounds like your kind of thing, we'd love to see your work.* Skills: ai editing,veo,ai video,nano banana,e-commerce,elevenlabs,sora,video editing
