Short-Form Content & Internet Storytelling - Startup Media Team
About us. Kalmus Labs is building Remora - an AI-native platform focused on transforming books, documents, and information into interactive experiences people actually engage with and remember. Most learning products feel dry, corporate, and forgettable. We’re building something different: a product shaped by storytelling, atmosphere, design, internet culture, and modern AI interaction. We’re still early, which means the people joining now will directly influence how the company looks, feels, and grows online. Why this role is different. This is not a traditional “video editor” role. You won’t just cut clips for corporate social media. You’ll help shape:
- how Remora is perceived online
- the style and rhythm of our content
- how people emotionally connect with the product
- how AI, learning, internet culture, and storytelling intersect visually
- Part editor.
- Part storyteller.
- Part internet-native creative.
- Part experimental media builder.
You’ll work directly with the founder in a fast-moving environment with very little bureaucracy and a lot of creative freedom. What you’ll do.
- Create short-form content for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, and future channels
- Edit videos with strong pacing, rhythm, emotional timing, and attention retention
- Experiment with hooks, storytelling structures, subtitles, visuals, and internet-native formats
- Help shape the visual identity and online tone of Remora
