Video Editor (Short-Form & Growth Content)

About Us
We’re a New York-based team building modern financial products that combine financial discovery and trading into one seamless experience.
Our team includes builders and operators with backgrounds across Instagram, Tesla, Meta, and institutional quantitative trading firms in New York including Optiver. We bring together experience from consumer-scale products, high-performance engineering environments, and quantitative systems to build products that feel simple despite underlying complexity.
We apply modern Silicon Valley product workflows to make complex systems feel intuitive, fast, and scalable.
We are currently preparing for closed alpha and building with a small, high-ownership team that values speed, strong product thinking, and execution.
