Hiring | Cinematographer + Editor

Shoot it. Cut it. Make people stop scrolling.

Hyderabad, with regular travel across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana | 3-8+ years | Full-time

We're looking for someone who can walk onto a location, see the film before it's shot, shoot it, and then cut it into something people don't skip.

This is not a camera-operator role, and it is not a desk-editor role. It is both - and the person who does both is rarer than either.

What we're looking for

3-8+ years shooting and editing ad films, brand films or digital content - with a reel where you did both on the same film. Real cinematography: lighting, lensing, movement, composition. You own the frame, not just the settings. Real editing: rhythm, structure, sound, colour. You know when a cut is a second too long and why. Comfortable across scales - a two-person run-and-gun shoot in a showroom on Tuesday, a full crew with a director on Thursday. Fluent in Premiere or Da Vinci; can grade, mix a rough track and deliver every ratio a brand needs in a day. Travel-ready. Shoots happen in dealerships, factories, farms, campuses and streets - you pack the kit and go. Three shoots, two edits, one week - and the work still looks like someone cared.

Strongly preferred

Telugu - to direct talent on set and cut dialogue with the right rhythm. Motion graphics, product/automotive shooting, drone or gimbal experience. DOOH, CTV or performance creative - footage that has to work in five seconds, vertical, with no sound. AI tools for pre-viz, clean-up or versioning - with a clear view on where the eye still matters more.

We are NOT looking for

A wedding or event videographer whose reel is montages over music. A Do P who needs a full crew before the camera comes out. An editor who has never had to light a shot and doesn't want to. Someone who thinks the edit is where you fix what the shoot missed. Someone who needs to be in Hyderabad every day.

The opportunity

You will shoot and cut for brands across categories and formats - from regional launches to national campaigns - with in-house writers, directors and designers under one roof, and a say in how our production works.

We are building a company at the intersection of advertising, Ad Tech, market intelligence and AI - and we want someone who thinks beyond the next deliverable.

If you re-watch an ad for the cut, not the star - we should talk.

Apply with your profile + reel + a short note on three films you shot and cut, what the brief was, and one decision - behind the camera or in the edit - that changed the film.
