Video Production Manager

New York, NY

About Viam 

Viam is building the platform that makes robotics as programmable as software. Our software allows developers and companies to configure, control, and manage physical devices—from a single robot in a lab to fleets of machines deployed in the real world.

The company was founded by Eliot Horowitz, co-founder and former CTO of MongoDB, with the goal of making it dramatically easier to build and operate systems that interact with the physical world.

Today Viam powers developers and organizations working across robotics, industrial automation, research, and connected devices. We’re a ~100-person company headquartered in New York City.

The Education Challenge

At Viam, the Education team builds the resources that help developers go from zero to productive on real robotics and automation workflows. The challenge isn’t just making accurate content; it’s making technically dense material feel accessible and engaging to developers who are skeptical of anything that looks like marketing. Video is one of the highest-leverage formats we have, and we’re building this capability from scratch.

About the Team

The Education team is based in New York and operates at the intersection of product, DevRel, and Marketing. The team creates tutorials, documentation, and learning resources that help developers integrate Viam into their workflows. This is a first-of-its-kind role at Viam -- you’ll be the only dedicated video production professional on the team, working closely with our VP of Education and collaborators across Education, DevRel, Marketing, and Engineering. No inherited toolchain, no prior workflow to maintain. You’ll build it.

What You’ll Own

  • End-to-end production for Viam’s educational and marketing video content; from pre-production planning through final delivery, including tutorials, product demos, webinars, and event coverage.
  • Camera operation and lighting setup for both studio and on-location shoots, capturing clean, professional footage across a range of formats.
  • Audio capture and post-production; recording setups and mixing that hold up whether you’re in a controlled studio or on a conference floor.
  • Still photography for web, media, and corporate use; headshots, office life, product photography, and event coverage.
  • Long-form post-production editing in Final Cut Pro or equivalent, with an eye for pacing and clarity that serves a technical audience.
  • Toolchain and equipment decisions; evaluating what Viam needs, recommending the gear and software stack, and owning the production workflow from day one.

What You Bring

  • Demonstrated experience producing and editing long-form technical or educational video content -- courses, tutorials, product demos, or webinars. A strong portfolio is required.
  • Professional camera operation skills, comfortable with a range of camera systems and lighting setups in both studio and field conditions.
  • Professional still photography capabilities, including corporate headshots, event coverage, and web-ready imagery.
  • Audio engineering experience; you can capture and mix clean audio in environments you didn’t control in advance.
  • Proficiency in Final Cut Pro or comparable NLE software. If you work in a different toolchain, you can make the case for why it’s the right call.
  • Comfort working as the only production person in the room. You’ve built or rebuilt a production function before, or you’re ready to, and you don’t need a playbook handed to you.
  • Nice to have: experience producing content specifically for a developer or technical audience (education platforms, DevRel programs, technical documentation video).

How We Work

Viam is a hybrid team based in New York. We move fast, expect people to own their area, and have no patience for process that doesn’t serve the work. This role will collaborate closely with our VP of Education and a set of highly experienced content producers across Education, DevRel, Marketing, and Engineering. You’ll contribute ideas, push back when something won’t work, and ship real content.

Compensation

The salary for this role is between $110K - 50K/year. Your exact offer will vary based on factors including experience level, skillset, market location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced, or more senior, than this job description as posted. In these situations, the updated salary range will be communicated to you as a candidate.

Full-time Benefits

Viam’s base salary range for this role is posted above. In addition to cash compensation, Viam offers a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants, health benefits, and more.

  • 100% covered medical/dental/vision insurance plans, commuter benefits

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
