About The Role
WorkOS is investing heavily in video. From quarterly events like MCP Night — SF's premier AI gathering, drawing 700+ engineering leaders, founders, and builders — to customer spotlights, product demos, podcasts, platform ads, and YouTube shorts, video is one of our highest-leverage surfaces for reaching developers, and we're shipping more of it every quarter. We're hiring a full-time Video Producer to own this surface end-to-end. You'll run multicam livestream productions out of our SF office, edit daily across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn, coordinate with external capture and motion vendors, and turn raw footage into content developers actually want to watch. This is a craft role for someone who cares about every cut and frame, and who treats AI-native workflow design as a worldview rather than a checklist.
Responsibilities:
- Run multicam livestream productions for live events shot from our SF office — directing, switching, recording, and delivering edited cuts after
- Edit and upload daily across YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and our website — thumbnails, titles, descriptions, scheduling
- Ship through quarterly launch weeks — daily product videos across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn
- Coordinate external vendors — live event capture crews, motion graphics shops, and our podcast capture/edit partner
- Produce platform ad cuts for Google, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Reddit (mostly editing and publish work; we use VidIQ for performance signals)
- Build and maintain templates, lower thirds, transitions, and brand assets so output scales without chaos
- Push the AI-native workflow — extend what's working, evaluate new tools as they ship
- Help shape the WorkOS video aesthetic — opinionated, technical, never corporate
Basic Qualifications:
- 5+ years of video production and editing experience, with a portfolio that shows range across short-form, long-form, and live multicam
- Hands-on experience directing multicam livestream productions
- Expert in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve (we use both), plus After Effects
- Have shipped end-to-end AI-video pipelines using tools like ElevenLabs, Creatomate, Eddie.ai, Descript, Runway, Topaz Labs, Captions, OpusClip, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3
- Comfort with our broader stack: Frame.io, Lawn, Screen Studio, Restream, Artlist, MotionVFX, Motion Array, and Claude
- A high bar for craft. You notice the bad cut, the off-beat sync, the lazy transition, and you fix it
- Speed without sacrificing quality. Daily cadence is the steady state; launch weeks compress that further
- Strong instincts for what works on YouTube vs. X vs. LinkedIn
- Self-directed. You build the systems that let you ship daily
- A taste for developer tools content. You don't need to be an engineer, but you need to find this world interesting
Preferred Qualifications:
- Custom motion graphics chops — building from scratch in After Effects, not just dropping in plugins. Meaningful differentiator
- Background in 3D (Cinema 4D, Blender)
- Experience producing video for developer tools, infrastructure, or technical B2B companies
- Shipped video for launch weeks, product launches, or developer events
- A YouTube channel, Vimeo portfolio, or body of work that speaks for itself
Logistics:
- Location: SF-based, in-office. Multicam livestream production requires it. Occasional time at our NYC office
- Travel: 3–4 on-site events per year, including East Coast and international

Video Producer Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a video producer in California?
Most video producers in California enter the field through a bachelor's degree in film production, media studies, or communications, often from schools like UCLA, USC, or San Francisco State University. California does not require a state-issued license to work as a video producer. Employers typically expect a strong portfolio and hands-on experience, which candidates build through internships, student productions, or entry-level roles at studios, agencies, or production companies.
How much do video producers make in California?
Video producers in California earn a median of about $129,790 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,570 for the lowest 10% to over $306,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire video producers in California?
Employers hiring video producers in California right now include Samsara, Saviynt, and Age of Learning, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of entertainment studios, tech headquarters, and major advertising agencies makes it one of the deepest hiring markets for video production talent in the country.
Which California cities have the most video producer jobs?
El Segundo, San Francisco, and Carlsbad have the most video producer openings in California. Los Angeles dominates because of its density of film studios, streaming companies, and advertising agencies, while San Francisco and San Diego generate consistent demand from tech firms, biotech companies, and digital marketing agencies that produce video content in-house.
Are there remote video producer jobs in California?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based roles because video production often requires on-set presence, equipment access, and in-person collaboration. About 33% of video producer openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which tends to reflect the post-production, editing, and project coordination portions of the role rather than principal photography or live shoots.
How can I get hired as a video producer in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or production assistant role at a Los Angeles or San Francisco studio, agency, or streaming company, where on-the-job experience builds a portfolio quickly. Major California employers like Disney and NBCUniversal run structured internship programs open to recent graduates. Adjacent roles such as video editor, content coordinator, or camera operator are common stepping stones, and a focused portfolio of completed projects, even from student or volunteer work, gives candidates a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to video producer jobs in California?
