About the Role

We’re looking for a Video Content Marketer to help scale Dagster’s video presence across educational content, product storytelling, and social channels.

Video is one of the most important ways people discover and learn new tools. This role sits at the intersection of education, product marketing, and growth. A big part of this role is figuring out how to capture attention and communicate complex ideas clearly through video.

Your work will include editing and producing educational video content created by our Developer Relations team, and owning video content and story telling for Compass, explaining the benefits, values and use cases to a broader audience.

Dagster’s core audience includes data engineers and developers, while Compass expands the audience to analysts, product teams, Rev Ops, and other data-driven roles across the business.

This role will help translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging video content for both audiences.

Responsibilities

Educational & Technical Content

Editing and producing technical video content created by Dagster’s Developer Relations team. This includes:

• Editing recorded tutorials, walkthroughs, and educational content for YouTube and developer channels

• Cleaning up screen recordings, demos, and live coding sessions

• Improving pacing, clarity, and visual storytelling in technical content

• Adding overlays, diagrams, animations, and callouts to clarify complex concepts

• Turning raw recordings into polished learning content

• Helping standardize templates and visual formats across our developer video library

• Collaborating with Dev Rel to improve the quality and impact of educational video content

Dev Rel will typically own the content and script, but you’ll play a key role in making the videos clear, engaging, and visually compelling.

Compass Video Content & Storytelling

You’ll also help create videos that explain Dagster’s products and tell the story of the platform. This includes:

• Product demos and explainer videos

• Short-form social video

• Launch and announcement videos

• Video content for marketing campaigns and ads

You’ll play a particularly important role in helping explain Compass, Dagster’s AI data analyst, through clear and engaging video storytelling.

For these videos, you’ll shape the narrative, scripting, and creative execution in partnership with marketing and product teams.

Video Strategy & Distribution

You’ll also help turn video into a meaningful growth channel for Dagster. This includes:

• Helping grow Dagster’s YouTube presence and developer video library

• Turning long-form educational videos into short-form clips

• Experimenting with formats, titles, and thumbnails

• Identifying opportunities to expand reach through video across channels

Must-have Qualifications

You’re a strong editor and storyteller who can make complex topics feel clear and engaging. Ideal candidates will have:

• 2–5+ years experience producing or editing video content

• Strong editing skills (Premiere, Final Cut, Da Vinci Resolve, or similar)

• Experience editing educational or technical content

• Strong instincts for pacing, clarity, and visual storytelling

• Ability to turn raw recordings into polished, engaging videos

• Motion graphics or animation experience (After Effects or similar)

• Comfort collaborating with subject matter experts (engineers, technical educators, etc.)

Because Dagster is a technical product, it’s helpful if you have:

• Experience working with developer tools or technical products

• Familiarity with developer audiences such as data engineers, developers, analysts, or data teams

• Comfort editing screen recordings, product demos, and technical walkthroughs

You don’t need to be an engineer, but curiosity about technical topics will make a big difference.

Nice-to-have Qualifications

• Experience creating content for developer or technical audiences

• Experience working on YouTube or developer education channels

• Familiarity with the modern data stack, data engineering, or AI tools

You Belong Here

We are committed to building an inclusive team and an open-source community where no one feels out of place. We know that teams with diverse backgrounds state their assumptions more explicitly, think more rigorously, and build better software. Plus it's more fun and interesting to work with a wide variety of perspectives.

You should apply to work at Dagster Labs if you want to work in, and help to build and strengthen, a high-performing software development environment where people of all backgrounds are welcome.

The estimated cash salary for this role is $105,000 to $155,000.
