About the job
YouTube Shorts is the short-form section of the video-sharing website YouTube, hosting content much like YouTube's primary service but with a focus on vertical videos at a maximum length of 60 seconds. For creators, it enables a space for content that is short, casual, and direct. Creators can try workshopping new material, share other videos on the platform, or provide a quick taste of their personality to prospective fans. For viewers, it provides high value in short intervals. Fans can easily access fresh, snackable content from their favorite creators, and discover new channels. We are building an entirely new experience for both creating videos and consuming them, for allowing creators to connect better with their viewers communities, from within the YouTube app.
