Data Ingest Technician

About the Role

Creator Engine is a leading Television and Digital Post-Production company, specializing in high-quality video content for US broadcast, and digital media.

As a Data Ingest Technician/ Assistant Editor (Technical), you will play a crucial role in the post-production workflow by organising media, creating proxies, preparing timelines for editorial, picture and sound finishing and deliveries, syncing multicam footage/ audio, and be a key collaborator to the Post Production team ensuring a smooth editing process for the lead editors and creative teams. You must be someone who loves solving technical problems, using AI to automate recurring tasks, detail-oriented, and capable of working in a fast-paced post-production environment.

This is NOT a creative role. So if you aspire to be a video editor, this role is NOT for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Media Management: Ingest, organize, and maintain footage, ensuring proper file naming and storage.
• Syncing & Prepping: Sync audio with video, and prepare sequences for the Editors.
• Quality Control: Review footage for technical issues, missing elements, and inconsistencies before final edits.
• Export & Delivery: Render, export, and prepare files in different formats for review and final deliveries and thereafter, manage archival.
• Collaboration: Work closely with editors, creative producers, and post-production supervisors to ensure smooth workflows.
• Software Proficiency: Maintain a strong understanding of Adobe Premiere Pro, other key Adobe Creative Suite applications and DaVinci Resolve.
• Being up to date with the latest developments in the world of Post Production tools and technology.

This Role May Not Be For You If

• You are primarily interested in creative editing or becoming a video editor.
• You see media management as a temporary stepping stone toward creative roles.
• You are not interested in deep technical post-production discussions and workflows.

You’ll Thrive Here If

• You enjoy understanding post production workflows and pipelines.
• You are curious to find how to optimize the technical post processes across various formats.
• You want to grow into a technical coordinator/ supervisory role in post-production.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Experience: Previously worked at a fast paced post-production environment specifically handling media ingest, proxy creation, multicam sync, and technical QC.
• Software Knowledge: Strong Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
• Technical Understanding: Strong grasp of video formats, codecs, bitrates, and the full picture and sound finishing pipeline.
• Organizational Skills: Ability to manage large amounts of footage, keep projects structured, and handle tight deadlines.
• Attention to Detail.
• Communication & Teamwork: Ability to collaborate with senior editors, producers, and creative teams effectively.
• Adaptability: Open to feedback and able to work on multiple projects with tight turnarounds.

What will truly differentiate you is your technical mindset, ownership, passion for optimizing workflows, and most importantly, culture fitness.
