THE FILMS YOU’D BE MAKING
Engineering at the limit
Deep engineering stories, told fast. This is the style we’re building on, so watch a few before you apply.
Open Roles
REMOTE · FREELANCE OR EMPLOYED
Scriptwriter
You find the story in the interviews and make people watch to the end.
Scott and the team set the title and structure, and do the research and interviews. You work through the interview transcripts, pick the moments that matter and write the narration and links, in Scott’s voice, that turn them into a story. We handle the technical detail with you, so you don’t need to be an engineer. Fully remote.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- A storyteller first: scripts, documentaries, podcasts or videos that kept people to the end
- You can find the story in hours of interviews and know which moments to keep
- You can write in someone else’s voice
- A love of F1 or motorsport (strongly preferred)
- Engineering knowledge is a bonus, not a requirement
- Reliable with deadlines and happy working remotely
REMOTE · FREELANCE OR EMPLOYED
Video Editor
You turn scripts, interviews and raw footage into films people watch to the end.
Edit long-form documentaries and build clean motion graphics that explain the engineering. We create 3D shots with AI tools, so you don’t need to model in 3D.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Three or more years editing, with a reel of long-form YouTube or documentary work
- Strong motion graphics in After Effects or similar
- Experience with AI image or video tools is a plus
- An instinct for pacing and retention, and fast turnaround on feedback
HOW HIRING WORKS
Fast, fair and paid
No CVs and no endless interviews. Show us your work and how you think.
01
Apply
A short form with your best work. Scriptwriters also tell us one F1 story they’d love to tell.
02
We review
We read every application. If you’re a fit, we’ll be in touch within three weeks.
03
Paid test
Shortlisted applicants complete a paid test project. For scriptwriters, that’s a script built from real interview transcripts.
04
First videos
We make two or three paid videos together, then agree a longer-term arrangement.
QUESTIONS
Good to know
Do I need to live in the UK?
No. We’re a remote team and work with people anywhere. Some overlap with UK working hours helps.
Freelance or employed?
Either. Most people start freelance on paid trial videos, then we agree what works for both sides.
What does it pay?
Competitive, depending on experience. We ask for your expected rate in the application.
What if I don’t hear back?
We read every application but only reply to people we’re taking forward. We keep strong applications on file and may contact you about future projects.
Think you’d fit?
Applying takes about 10 minutes for editors and 15 to 20 minutes for scriptwriters. We read every one.
