Steno is growing! We’re looking for a full-time video editor to join our winning team!
In this role, you’ll support post-production of deposition videography, ensuring our clients receive the best quality product at lightning speed. You’ll be a key player on a small team of video editors, operating with the highest level of confidentiality, discretion, and attention to detail.
We’re open to great people from all over the country, but ideally, we’re hoping to find our Video Editor in Central or Eastern time zones to support our business!
WHO ARE YOU?
If editing video makes your heart sing and you feel empowered working independently (for a large part of your day), then this role could be a great fit.
Every day, you’ll be given raw material to edit and assemble in a variety of styles based on our client’s needs. This material might include camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, and graphics. While this role isn’t inherently creative, you’ll shine if you’re excited to create perfectly formatted content and put the finishing touch on every edit you turn in.
You’ll be given the freedom to work however you work best, but you should feel extremely comfortable independently operating and driving your own results.
ON A REGULAR BASIS YOU’LL:
Edit raw source material recorded during live depositions into formatted content we deliver to our clients, handling all technical aspects of the process.
Work collaboratively with a team of editors and video specialists throughout post-production to translate client requests into finished products.
Handle production and editing of litigation content, educational videos, and marketing materials for cross-functional teams and internal/external stakeholders (here at Steno, we welcome a healthy sense of humor and try to incorporate our specific Steno brand of hilarity into much of the content we create).
Attend large and small team meetings to check in, provide status updates, and strategize about upcoming jobs.
Follow Steno’s brand guidelines when editing content.
Meet deadlines like you live and breathe to do just that, so we can ensure our clients get everything they need on or before time.
OUR TEAM
Our Remote Services team (AKA, the “Vid-Squad”) includes people from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from film and television production, IT, retail, and the restaurant industry. The Vid-Squad is a highly reliable team, with senior teammates who help make sure the metaphorical “ship” (known as “Space Yachty”) runs smoothly.
Employees that shine on this team are people who are patient and perform well under pressure, are multi-taskers and comfortable wearing multiple hats, and overall good communicators. If you’re not comfortable commanding a (virtual) room, this job is not for you.
YOU’RE GONNA CRUSH IT IF:
You have at least one year of experience editing raw material into formatted content.
You’re highly organized with excellent attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and good time management.
You are a master of all things PC. We love computers of all kinds, but our editing software works best on PC, so we’d prefer you feel most comfortable operating in that environment!
You are highly skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro including After Effects. Experience with Adobe Audition and Creative Suite are a huge plus!
You have knowledge in video codecs and experience working in various video formats.
You come with excellent written and verbal communication skills (we’re big talkers here at Steno).
You’re capable of working independently in a fast-paced environment and learn new skills quickly.
You’re enthusiastic about the opportunity for growth within the company and working for a start-up
Wearing multiple hats and working efficiently in a fast-paced environment seems like a great next step for your career.
You have legal experience and/or start-up experience--we love to see it!

We’re so excited about where we’re headed and want to invite you along for what’s next (something about wearing shades because Steno’s future's so...bright? Forgive us…we don’t get out much).

We offer health benefits, stock options, a 401k, unlimited vacation, and several other unique perks to show our team how valued they are.

ABOUT STENO
Steno was founded in Los Angeles in 2018. We are a quickly growing legal technology startup with a very simple core purpose - “to improve the litigation process.” Our team is highly reliable, constantly innovative, and operates with a hospitality mindset in every single way. Seriously. While this is a fast-paced environment, the opportunity for growth is abundant.
In the last two years, Steno has grown from just 9 employees in Los Angeles to over 125 employees across the nation and works fully remote. Our team is incredibly diverse and a unique blend of backgrounds in law, technology, operations, and finance. Though not many of us have met in person, we are a cohesive team that has produced amazing results in just a short time (if we do say so ourselves).
Steno developed a new style of deferred litigation financing called DelayPay and Steno Connect, a web-based videoconferencing platform specifically designed for remote depositions and bench trials. And, to top it off, we are growing as a prominent court reporting agency in several major US markets.
Steno just closed a Series A1 round of funding led by Trust Ventures. With seed investments from First Round Capital, Human Ventures, and others, we’ve raised $23 million in total. This capital not only helps us invest in our business and product but also our people. We know that without our people, we’d have nothing. So, we offer fantastic health and time off benefits, complete home office outfitting, and additional perks that make our culture unique.
