This is the public briefing for candidates interviewing for the role. Everything you need is below.
01The role

In plain English, here's the job.

Eight things you'd actually own. We're hiring one person to do all of them, with full air-cover and a clear charter.

01

Editor-in-chief of Life at Luma

LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, X, Glassdoor, Built In, careers site. You own the surface area, the calendar, the voice. End to end.

02

Make original content

Behind-the-scenes, team spotlights, product launch stories, day-in-the-life. You'll have access to some of the most interesting AI research and creative work happening anywhere.

03

Own our recruiting presence in the wild

NeurIPS, ICML, SIGGRAPH, meetups, hackathons, university partnerships. Wherever the talent we want is gathering, that's where we show up.

04

Launch employee advocacy

Get our engineers, researchers, and designers into the conversation. Their stories deserve a platform, and not just for hiring.

05

Build a speaker and thought leadership program

Get our people on the podcasts, panels, and stages our candidates are already listening to.

06

Design the offer experience

The moment someone gets a Luma offer should feel like a milestone, not an email. You design that moment.

07

Turn every role launch into a brand moment

Partner closely with recruiting so the way we publish a job is itself a piece of content.

08

Use AI natively

Claude, Cursor, Lovable, whatever earns its keep. You'll have unlimited Luma platform access from day one. Output of a team of three, from a team of one.

A note from us —

This is a true zero-to-one. No existing content engine. No playbook. No recruiting marketing footprint. You'll be the one building it. If you've made something from nothing before and loved the messiness of it, you'll thrive.

03Why we're hiring this role, now

Three reasons. Stated plainly.

Internal

We've scaled fast. The work people do here is rare.

Luma has scaled fast over the last 18 months. The culture and craft inside the building is genuinely rare — and it's getting harder to make that visible from the outside as we grow.

Market

We're punching above our weight, but we're under-known.

In foundation models, you have the giants (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta) and the challengers (Luma, Runway, Moonvalley, Kling, Krea). The giants are getting louder. Ray3.14 sits right next to Google's latest VEO on score. This role closes the gap.

Talent

Our researchers, engineers, designers deserve a platform.

We have unbelievably talented people here. Their stories deserve a stage — not just for hiring, but for the team that's already on the inside.

Today, depending on the role, maybe 3 or 4 in 10 candidates already know us when a recruiter says "Hi, I'm from Luma AI." We want that to be 10 in 10. That's the job.
Josh Gill  ·  Talent Operations & Engineering Lead
04The hiring process

Four steps. That's it.

We move fast and don't believe in busywork. No endless rounds — just an intro call, a real piece of work, and two conversations that help both sides decide.

01

Intro Call with Josh Gill

You've already done this if you're reading this page. One combined recruiter and hiring-manager screen — no separate deep dive afterward. Casual conversation about your background, what pulls you to this kind of work, what you've built from zero before, and how you actually use AI in your craft today.

≈ 45 min
02

The Build the take-home

You build something. You'll have full access to the Luma platform for the duration — use our tools, your own tools, anything you want. It's not a take-home in the traditional sense; it's a real piece of work that demonstrates how you'd approach the role.

On your time
03

Panel Presentation present what you built

You walk a small panel through what you built — the what, the why, and the how. It's a conversation, not a defense.

Panel
Josh and a recruiting lead, a marketing partner, and a senior member of our creative and social teams
Vibe
Relaxed and conversational — but make no mistake, we're a serious team that's seriously good at this. We just enjoy the work while we do it.
≈ 45 min
04

Luma & You with Cho, our Head of People

Every Luma hire does this — and it's just you and Cho, no one else. A conversation about the company, the vision, and where we're going, plus your chance to ask the biggest questions you've got.

30–40 min
iTiming: we move fast. Start-to-offer in under 3 weeks if everyone's aligned. Need more time? Tell us. We'll match your pace.
05What sets this apart

A few would you look at this moments.

On the seat

You're not going to get this at another company. The product, the access to Dream Lab, the creative team, the studio in LA. Unlimited Luma platform access from day one.

Capacity

Output of three

One person, the work of a team. That's what our product unlocks for whoever takes this seat.

Dream Lab

Build with Dream Lab.

Our LA studio — 90% of our creative team is there. Podcasts, segment pieces, full productions. You get to lean in.

Trajectory

Direct line to leadership.

Reports to Josh (head of Talent Ops), with a direct line to leadership from day one. A genuine zero-to-one charter, and room to grow the function as we scale.

Support

A buddy in every department.

Creative, marketing, technical artistry, recruiting. Someone to lean on in each, day one.

Access

A real seat at product moments.

Ray, Uni, Dream Machine launches aren't things you read about on Slack. They're things you help shape the talent story around.

The vibe

A serious team doing serious work — and we genuinely enjoy the day-to-day while we do it. Fast, high-trust, and seriously good at what we do.
