About CloudWalk:
We are not just another fintech unicorn. We are a pack of dreamers, makers, and tech enthusiasts building the future of payments. With millions of happy customers and a hunger for innovation, we're now expanding our neural network - literally and metaphorically.
About the role:
We are looking for a creative and technically skilled Director of Photography to lead the visual language of our branded video productions. From product launches and brand campaigns to testimonials and institutional films, you will help shape how InfinitePay and CloudWalk come to life on screen.
This role combines cinematographic vision with hands-on camera work, and close collaboration with directors, producers, and editors to deliver emotionally resonant and visually striking films.
What you will be doing:
- Lead the cinematography of InfiniteStudios’ audiovisual projects — from planning to shoot day — bringing consistency, beauty, and intention to every frame.
- Define and execute visual concepts based on briefings, scripts, and brand tone — including lighting design, camera movement, and lensing choices.
- Operate camera and direct small crews, or coordinate with camera operators and gaffers when needed.
- Collaborate with directors, writers, and editors to ensure narrative and visual alignment across all phases of production.
- Participate in pre-production processes such as location scouting, shotlists, and testing camera setups.
- Manage and maintain all studio equipment — including cameras, lenses, lights, rigs, batteries, and storage — ensuring everything is organized, functional, and ready for production.
- Be responsible for the organization and management of media assets — including hard drives, SSDs, and backups — guaranteeing that footage and project files are properly labeled, stored, and accessible.
- Oversee or advise on gear rentals and logistics in partnership with producers and assistants.
- Embrace and experiment with AI-powered video tools — including generative and synthetic workflows (e.g. Luma, Runway, Pika, Wonder Studio) — to expand creative possibilities, enhance previsualization, and reimagine storytelling.
What you need to succeed:
- Proven experience as a cinematographer or camera director in branded content, advertising, or editorial film.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating visual storytelling, lighting control, and composition mastery.
- Technical knowledge of cameras, lenses, lighting, and rigging — experience with both natural light and studio setups.
- Creative sensibility to build tone and emotion visually, adapting to different content types and audience needs.
- Familiarity with or strong curiosity for generative video tools and emerging AI workflows.
- Advanced/Fluent english for communication.
- Availability for hybrid collaboration, ideally based in São Paulo or nearby regions for on-set presence.
- Sense of ownership and responsibility over audiovisual gear — with care, discipline, and organization in managing technical resources.
