Elsewhere is hiring a Video Content Creator to help us tell the story about our game and our studio. We’re working on a co-op multiplayer game that captures the aesthetic and soul of indie games, the replayability and depth of roguelikes, and the ambition to become a forever game that reaches millions of players.

You’ll help us create short and long-form content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and more. You’ll have creative freedom to scheme up eye-catching, funny, informative, and perhaps occasionally unhinged ways to tell gamers about who we are and what we’re doing.

Our team works in-person out of a beautiful converted industrial space in the Mission District here in San Francisco, CA. Being located in the area is a big plus, but not strictly necessary.

This position is for an ongoing contract. Initial work will be about 10-20 hrs/week depending on business needs. If things go well, more work or perhaps a full-time role are possible.

Your Profile

You have deep understanding of social media. You’ve grown an account (perhaps your own or a brand’s) to an impressive number of followers and engagement on at least one major social media platform.
You can get your hands dirty with and have expert-level knowledge of video and audio editing software (ex. Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut).
You’re analytical when it comes to the performance of your content, and are honest with yourself and your team when something just isn’t working.
You have video content production equipment yourself, or are opinionated enough to advise us on what to buy.
You’re scrappy and clever about stretching a dollar. You can get very far with a small marketing budget.
You’re creative. You bring a founder’s mindset to marketing. That means you’re excited about experimenting novel ways a game studio can reach and engage fans.
You love games and the culture surrounding them. You’ve played more games than you can count and have strong opinions on who the best creators are online.
You’re ambitious. You want to be an early part of something big. Something with massive potential that players are going to absolutely love. You want to work with a game studio that pushes the envelope of games as a medium.
You’re collaborative. You’re excited to work closely our founder, game artists, game engineers, our community, other content creators we work with and more.

About us:

We have a deep bench of talent from diverse backgrounds and have been backed by top Silicon Valley investors. We’re an idealistic team that loves video games and deeply believes in their potential: both as a creative medium and as a way for us to socialize and play together.

Your colleagues would include:

an indie game creator who launched a successful game on kickstarter
a self-taught immersive artist who bootstrapped built a massive creative business on her own
an MIT-educated engineer who single handedly added networking to a hit game in the ARPG genre
a gamedev who made an unauthorized fan remake of a Nintendo game that went viral
a repeat entrepreneur who previously cofounded a billion-dollar startup
