Roame (YC S23) Is Hiring Viral Content Editor

Roame is a YC-backed flight and hotel search engine that finds award-space and points/miles redemptions quickly, saving travelers time and money. The company is hiring a Content Systems Builder / Editor (US-remote contract, $40K-$80K, US work authorization required) to create a high-speed, repeatable machine for producing short-form and long-form video about time-sensitive travel deals. Founders Tim and Zi emphasize speed over polish: timely, informative content that can be iterated and shipped the same day, with the role intended to scale into a full-time audience owner for the right candidate.

The core responsibilities are building documented templates for recurring formats (deal breakdowns, route explainers, UGC ads), chaining generative AI tools for the repetitive 70% (b-roll, voice, captions, transcript-based rough cuts), and seamlessly integrating human-shot material (talking heads, VO, location shoots). The role requires strong editing and motion skills, fluency with AI video tooling, growth instincts for virality and retention analysis, and comfort on camera and on short travel shoots. Applicants must supply three portfolio pieces, a workflow teardown showing AI+human process and scaling time, and a one-liner on why they want to work at Roame; interviews include a trial creating content with founders as on-screen talent.
