## About the role

We're the first multiplayer AI, and our product is years ahead of how we tell its story. We ship something remarkable most weeks and it barely leaves the building. That's the gap you close.

## What they're looking for

- Crafts stories that move people, can point to work that traveled and say why it worked
- Real motion-design chops — and in the AI era that now includes HTML/CSS/code, not just After Effects/C4D/Blender
- Could be the creator, not just the director (Johnny Harris style), or cast + direct one. Either way knows what makes that video work
- Has built with Claude Code (or similar) + AI creative tooling — wired up their own pipelines, not just prompted once
- Takes an idea from zero to published without being managed there
