Seeks a Founding AI Video Engineer

Remote, EU or USA Timezones / Cascais, Portugal

Boom is a small, well-funded team building a new category of AI-generated short-form video. Not ads. Not talking heads. Not template-driven content. Something that feels intentional and restrained — where most AI video feels generic.

We've shipped a working prototype. We've identified the specific gap between what current AI pipelines produce and what's actually shippable to a discerning audience. This role exists because closing that gap requires a rare combination of three disciplines in one person.


What the role needs

  • Fluent generative AI orchestration — Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, Whisper, vision models — by name, by tradeoff, by failure mode

  • Real video post-production craft — FFmpeg, LUTs, audio mixing, subtitle timing — as craft, not configuration

  • Creative direction and taste — the ability to articulate a register, defend a choice, and reject features that drift toward generic AI content

  • If you've shipped work for indie films, literary publications, music videos, or specific-voice podcasts — and started using AI tools as the field shifted under you — you're who we're looking for.


What we're not

We're not building marketing content. We're not building ads. If your portfolio is growth-hacky TikToks, CapCut transitions, or templated talking-head videos — this isn't for you. We'll both save time if you skip this one.


Process

  • Email us one short film, music video, or video essay you love + one paragraph on why

  • We share three internal docs about how we're thinking. You write a 1-page response.

  • Paid live spec exercise (90 min, $300)

  • Paid 5-day render test ($1.5–2k)

  • Conversion to founding contract


Compensation

4-week paid trial: €5–10k. Conversion: €100k–€160k base + 1–3% equity. Remote, contractor-first, employee if the relationship works.
