About The Position

Weave is hiring its first filmmaker to tell the story of how engineering teams become software factories. The filmmaker will create video about Weave’s customers, events, campaigns, podcasts, and AI startups, with the goal of producing engaging work that also generates pipeline. Weave describes itself as an engineering platform for the AI era that helps engineering teams understand how they work and improve, without vanity metrics or surveillance.

Its products are Engineering Intelligence, Weave Router, and Token Intelligence. The team is small and in person in San Francisco, and the role works directly with the CEO, CTO, and GTM lead, with ownership from day one. The filmmaker will produce customer case studies, profiles and behind-the-scenes films, event recaps, short-form stunts, interviews and series with advanced AI startups, and paid advertising creative. The role owns the process from concept and shot lists through camera operation, editing, testing, and distribution across X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Formats range from 15-second clips to hour-long episodes; the posting emphasizes fast turnaround, including shipping some cuts within 24 hours. Candidates should have a reel demonstrating video work people chose to watch, and should be able to provide performance numbers. The role is expected to be in Weave’s San Francisco office five days a week. Compensation is $120,000–$180,000 in salary plus early equity, with a production budget and listed benefits.
