Exa is an applied AI lab building a search engine unlike the world has ever seen. We build massive-scale infra to crawl the entire web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases to retrieve over it. We now power search for Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and over 400,000 developers and have raised $350m from Lightspeed, Benchmark, and a16z.
Our ultimate goal is to build perfect search over all the world's information, far beyond Google. If you care about defining how the new AI world consumes knowledge, this is the place for you.
Every Exa launch is a special event. We ship fast and the launch video is central to how we share our technology with the world. We're looking for a creative videographer to own this: someone who can take a technical product release and dream up launch materials that are joyfully digestible and unmistakably Exa, on the same timeline we ship.
Have a strong creative point of view and the speed to match it
Understand nuances of technical products and how to communicate them universally
Fluent in the editing and motion stack (Premiere, After Effects, Figma)
Relentless on iterating until you get it right
Hold your artistic work to a high standard
Own launch videos end to end — concept, film, sound, edit, ship — often inside a launch week
Translate complex technical products (such as GPU infrastructure, embedding models, and search APIs) into content people want to watch and share
Build a visual and auditory language for Exa videos
