Senior Video Editor

The posting, as Datadog wrote it

Datadog is the observability and security platform for cloud applications. Engineers at tens of thousands of companies use us to understand what their systems are doing in real time. We are a public company with the pace and ambition of a much smaller one, and we build products for a technical audience that has very little patience for marketing fluff.

We are hiring a Senior Video Editor to join our video team and own video end to end — from concept and script through edit, motion, color, and final delivery. You will work across two kinds of content: brand and marketing video (campaigns, customer stories, event films, social and paid cutdowns) and product and technical video (launch films, feature demos, release explainers, conference keynote support).

You will partner closely with brand designers, product marketing, developer relations, and the events team. You will also help develop AI tools to speed up the pipeline.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You'll Do

• Cut brand and product video from raw footage to final delivery in Premiere Pro , working across multiple active projects and deadlines.
• Script and storyboard your own pieces — take a rough brief or a product demo and shape it into a story with a clear arc before a single clip is on the timeline.
• Create motion graphics as projects require — lower thirds, UI callouts, titles, and simple data visualizations — in After Effects, and build supporting illustration and vector assets in Illustrator.
• Color grade in DaVinci Resolve Studio , including conform, node-based grading, and matching shots across multi-camera and mixed-source footage.
• Prep, retouch, and composite stills and textures in Photoshop for use in motion work and thumbnails.
• Use AI-assisted tools in production — transcript-based rough cuts, auto-reframe, speech enhancement, rotoscoping and masking, generative fill and extend, upscaling — and tell us honestly which ones earn their place in the workflow.
• Deliver versioned cutdowns and aspect-ratio variants for YouTube, LinkedIn, paid social, event screens, and the Datadog website, with correct specs every time.
• Keep projects organized: clean bins, consistent naming, archived masters, and handoff files a teammate can actually open and finish.
• Set and defend the quality bar — give direction to freelancers where necessary and review their work.

Who You Are

• 6+ years of professional video editing experience, with a reel that shows both narrative/brand work and clear, well-structured technical or product content.
• Advanced Premiere Pro — multicam, nested sequences, proxy workflows, dynamic link, Essential Graphics templates, and the keyboard-driven speed that comes from years in the application.
• Highly Competent in After Effects
