Yarn is hiring : Founding Content Engineer in New York

Overview

Video is the most compelling medium ever invented.

But even a single minute of video can take hours to make and expertise across multiple tools.

AI is changing this forever, and how we create and consume video will look completely different in 2 or 3 years time.

We believe that just like Figma captured the ascent of design from outsourced / nice-to-have to need-to-have, there is a space for a tool to capture the ascent of content.

So we’re building the creative tool for “content engineers” along with the agentic infrastructure to scale that content to infinity.

Because content engineers don’t just create 0 → 1 content, they also build the systems to allow that content to scale and personalize.

We’re a small experienced team based in Soho NYC.

Our investors include YCombinator, General Catalyst, Leonis Capital, and angels from Pika Labs, Meta, Roblox, and Adobe.

“Yarn has changed how we think about video. We’re now able to make high-retention content at scale – it feels like a secret weapon. I haven’t seen anyone else doing video like this with AI.” Varun Anand, Cofounder @ Clay

About the role

You will be amongst the first content engineers in the world (after Clay, who’s content engineering team live in Yarn).

We intend to create and own this category – so this role couldn’t be more important to us.

You will have wide creative freedom, and will lead the production of our content, as well as help our customers setup their first video processes and campaigns.

You’ll storyboard, script, and produce and record content that’s both entertaining and educational – you’ll pull from the best of high-end content as well as sprinkling in high-retention content tactics.
