At Kooni Connect, we’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively – and shares a passion for building communities and understanding a world of micro-content. In that case, our designers serve a slightly different role than more traditional “digital creative types” and we’re seeking a talented designer to join our ranks.

ToggleWho are you?
An ultimate team player who will create value in any situation. You understand creative problem solving and will be excited to create an engaging story no matter what channel it lives in.

You will have a deep knowledge of technical aspects of video creation including expertise in file/format conventions, best practices, file storage.
