Job Description

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

About the role:

We're building a modern video program at Ambient, and this person will own it end to end. You'll take video production from story development and scripting through shooting, editing, and final cut - across product explainers, release walkthroughs, brand and hype videos, customer testimonials, podcast support, webinar clips, and short-form social. You'll also be on camera: this is as much a video evangelist role as it is an editor's chair, and you should be comfortable speaking to the product at a product-marketing level.

What you’ll do:

  • Own video production end-to-end - from story development and scripting through post-production - shipping product explainers, release walkthroughs, brand/hype videos, and customer testimonials independently and with minimal direction

  • Serve as Ambient's on-camera video evangelist, presenting and hosting content that speaks to the product at a product-marketing-manager level

  • Build out and grow Ambient's YouTube channel as an active, expanding distribution priority, from content strategy through publishing cadence

  • Create video assets purpose-built for LinkedIn and paid ads, and produce short-form social cuts, webinar clips, and podcast cover/editing support that extend Ambient's reach across channels

  • Lay the groundwork for an in-house video studio as the program matures, moving production that today relies on external vendors fully in-house

What you’ll bring:

  • 5+ years of proven experience owning video production independently, from concept and scripting through shooting and post-production, with minimal oversight

  • Proficiency in standard video editing tools and motion graphics/animation software

  • Comfortable and confident on camera - able to present, host, and act as a video evangelist for the product, not just edit behind the scenes

  • Working knowledge of camera requirements, lighting, and set organization for both studio and on-location shoots

  • A track record of building and growing a YouTube channel or comparable content channel - programming, editing, and publishing cadence included

  • Demonstrated AI fluency - comfortable using AI tools daily across editing workflows, scripting and story development, and content research

  • Bonus: experience building a video program that leverages social media for distribution

  • Bonus: experience producing customer testimonial videos in-house

  • Bonus: familiarity with LinkedIn video and ad formats

  • Bonus: podcast video editing/production support experience

Why join us:

  • We are creating an entirely new category within a 180+ billion-dollar physical security industry and looking for team members who are also passionate about our mission to prevent every security incident possible

  • We have an impressive customer roster of F500 companies, including Adobe, SentinelOne and TikTok

  • Regular Full-time employees receive stock options for the opportunity to share ownership in the success of our company

  • Comprehensive health + welfare package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, EAP, Legal Services, 401k plan)

  • We offer flexible time off to rest and recharge, including Winter Break (time off between Christmas and New Year’s for most roles, depending on customer demand)

  • The latest tech and awesome swag will be delivered to your door

  • Enjoy a full range of opportunities to connect with your awesome co-workers

  • We love to hike, are foodies, and love music! Check out our most recent Ambient Spotify Playlist
