Opportunity brief
About Silwatech
Silwatech is a Dubai-headquartered custom software and AI solutions company, with its engineering and delivery centre in Ahmedabad, India.
About the Opportunity
- Silwatech is preparing to launch a new product, and we're building the creative team behind it. You'll help shape how the product looks and feels on social media, and build its audience from zero.
- We'll share more about the product at the interview stage, and full details once you join and sign an NDA.
About the Role
- We're looking for a skilled, creative video editor and motion designer: someone who knows the craft of editing, motion, colour, sound and design, and can turn an idea into a polished short video people stop scrolling for, every week.
- This is not an AI-generation role. We need real hands-on skill in professional editing and design software. AI tools are a plus when they help you work faster, but they never replace craft and taste.
What You'll Do
Create short-form videos
- Take an idea from concept to finished video: storyboard, edit, motion graphics, colour, sound design, captions and export.
- Produce launch teasers, product promos, motion-graphic explainers and short-form videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn.
- Work to a premium standard: clean, minimal and cinematic, like the best product launch films. No generic templates.
- Adapt every video to each platform: aspect ratio, length, pacing and captions.
Design and motion
- Build motion graphics, animated typography and transitions in After Effects.
- Design thumbnails, covers, social posts and brand templates in Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma or Canva.
- Help create a consistent visual style for the product: colour, type and motion rules.
Use AI where it adds value
- Use AI tools (for example Runway, Kling, ElevenLabs or Midjourney) for ideas, voiceovers, B-roll or clean-up, then refine the result with your own editing and design skills.
- Know when AI output is good enough, and when to throw it away.
Deliver, measure, improve
- Deliver finished videos every week, on schedule.
- Track what matters: hook rate (first 3 seconds), average watch time, saves, shares, follows and sign-ups. Views alone are not the goal.
- Review your results every week: what worked, what didn't, and what you'll test next.
- Follow the trends, sounds and formats on each platform, and adapt them to our brand rather than copying them.
- Keep a record of licences and rights for every piece of footage, music and font you use.
What We're Looking For
Must have
- Based in India.
- Strong hands-on skills in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
- Solid motion graphics skills in Adobe After Effects.
- Working knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator, plus Figma or Canva.
- Video fundamentals: storytelling, pacing, composition, colour correction and grading, typography, sound design and mixing, and the right export settings for each platform.
- A good understanding of short-form video: hooks, Reels and Shorts structure, captions and trends.
- A portfolio of original work you made yourself.
- Excellent English, written and spoken.
- A laptop or workstation that can handle professional editing software, and a reliable internet connection.
Nice to have
- Experience with AI tools used to support your work.
- 3D skills (Blender or Cinema 4D).
- Camera, lighting and filming skills.
- You've grown a social media account, your own or a brand's.
- Experience leading or coordinating a small team.
Our Ideal Candidate
A skilled, creative editor and motion designer who knows the craft, not just the tools. Someone who can make a product look exciting, communicate its value in seconds, and do it again next week.
If you love editing, motion design and building something from zero, we'd love to see your work.
Silwatech welcomes applicants from every background.
