Video Editor & Content Creator  

About Optimal AI

Optimal AI is building the quality and judgment layer for AI-generated code.

Optibot, our first multi-agent system, serves as a thoughtful code review agent that flags issues line by line and fixes them. Optibot identifies security vulnerabilities, technical debt, and compliance risks with full codebase context, while cutting PR cycle times and improving engineering velocity. Paired with our Engineering Insights Platform, teams get real-time analytics on code quality and productivity across every repo.

We're trusted by engineering teams at Bear Robotics, LG, MongoDB, mPulse, Prometric, and more. Backed by Act One Ventures and Chingona Ventures, with a team of serial exited entrepreneurs, YCombinator, McKinsey, and Boeing alums.

The Role

We produce a lot of content — engineering leader dinners, a live show, LinkedIn videos, event recaps, and product content — and we need someone who can make it look great and move fast. You'll own the editing and production side of our content engine, working closely with the team to turn raw footage into polished, on-brand content across YouTube, LinkedIn, and social.

This starts as a one-month contract trial. Based on performance, it transitions into a full-time role.

How We Work

→ High ownership, high output. Everyone on the team owns outcomes end-to-end. We work best with individuals who are precise, fast, and great at unblocking themselves.

→ Critical feedback is a gift. We give feedback directly and receive it without ego. Don't take it personally. It's how we get better.

→ Customer-obsessed. We make an effort to talk to all our customers and relentlessly provide value to each of them.
