UGC Engineer

About Chomp

Chomp is a free app where a little pet eats whatever you log, and your friends can see how you're doing. We grow through short videos on TikTok and Instagram, made by a team of creators we pay.

The role

You run our creator program from start to finish. Your job is to find out which messages, formats and creators reach the right people and get the app downloaded. Our current numbers show why: 0.3% of our videos get most of the views. So the work is to post a lot, spot the winners quickly, do more of what works and stop what doesn't.

This is not a "just edit videos" job. You own the results.

What you'll do

• Find trends: Spend time on TikTok and Reels every day. Spot formats, sounds and hooks that are taking off, and turn them into ideas our creators can film.
• Edit: Cut raw creator footage into short, punchy vertical videos (CapCut or similar), with strong hooks in the first 2 seconds.
• Post: Publish and schedule clips across our accounts. Write captions, choose hashtags and reply in comments.
• Find winners: Track views, saves, shares and comments every week. Report which hooks, formats and creators are working, and why.
• Manage creators: Onboard new creators, review what they submit, give clear feedback, run 1:1 coaching calls, and let go of creators who don't improve.
• Rewrite the brief weekly: Keep our creator brief current with the hooks, formats, reference videos and talking points that are working right now.
• Set up phones and accounts: Set up phones with proxies or SIMs so each account has its own clean identity. Create and warm up new TikTok and Instagram accounts until they're ready to post. Keep them healthy: no shadowbans, no flagged devices, no linked accounts. Help creators get their own accounts set up the same way.

You're a fit if you

• Spend hours on TikTok anyway and can explain why a video blew up
• Have edited short-form videos that got real views (show us)
• Have warmed up new TikTok accounts yourself and can explain your process step by step
• Have set up phones with mobile or residential proxies (or SIMs) and run several accounts without bans or shadowbans
• Write clear, direct English that creators act on
• Can give honest feedback and make hard calls about who stays
• Are comfortable with numbers and simple spreadsheets
• Have a reliable laptop, smartphone and internet with a backup

Bonus

• You've grown a TikTok account yourself (personal or for a brand)
• You've managed creators, an agency roster or a UGC team
• You know Gen Z and young millennial culture: cozy games, virtual pets, "girl dinner" content

How to apply

Send:

1. Links to 3–5 short-form videos you edited or posted, with view counts
2. One TikTok you saw this week that you think we should copy for Chomp. Tell us in 2–3 sentences how you'd adapt it
3. In 3–5 sentences, tell us how you'd warm up a brand-new TikTok account and set up its phone and proxy. Include how long you'd wait before the first post.
4. A short Loom or voice note (under 2 minutes) introducing yourself

Start your message with "Feed the pet" so we know you read this far. Applications without it won't be reviewed.
