Video and Multimedia Production Sr. Specialist

VIA is making an impact, and so can you. Headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, VIA is a mission-critical software company that enables organizations to share sensitive, distributed data at speed without compromising security or control. VIA’s decentralized architecture gives organizations control over their data, while its agentic AI helps them solve critical challenges and its military-grade security governs access. Designed for simplicity, rapid deployment, and disconnected, contested environments, VIA makes sensitive data usable wherever the mission happens, even offline. The Department of War, federal and state law enforcement, NGOs, and critical infrastructure companies around the globe trust VIA to help them solve their toughest analytics and digital security challenges. Big missions deserve to be seen, heard, and felt, not just described. We’re looking for a Video and Multimedia Production Sr. Specialist to bring VIA's mission, technology, and people to life through video, photography, audio, and design.
