Video Editor / Motion Graphics Designer

ABOUT US

The Algorand Foundation's mission is to power a world where information has integrity and innovative ideas can scale. 

The Algorand blockchain – designed by MIT professor and Turing Award-winning cryptographer Silvio Micali – is uniquely capable of delivering on the promise of a borderless global economy. It achieves transaction throughputs at the speed of traditional finance, but with immediate finality, near zero transaction costs, and on a 24/7 basis. Its carbon-neutral platform and unique pure proof-of-stake consensus mechanism solves the “blockchain trilemma” by achieving both security and scalability on a decentralized protocol, and without a second of downtime since it went live in 2019.

The Algorand Foundation dedicates itself to fulfilling the global promise of the Algorand blockchain by taking responsibility for promoting the technology, decentralized governance, and a healthy and prosperous open-source ecosystem

ABOUT THE ROLE :

Occasionally the editor will also be responsible for recording footage to be edited (i.e. screen recording virtual presentations to be edited, etc.)

The person should be able to take and implement feedback, while also gaining their own familiarity with Algorand brand standards and creative guidelines to grow into a more ownership role on all video content.
