Job description

We’re hiring: Communication Designer (2–4 yrs)

Communication Design | Growth + Brand | AI-friendly (and proud of it)

Location: Bengaluru

We’re building India’s #1 Micro-Drama app (yes, that booming category). The kind of place where stories drop fast, trends shift faster, and your design gets seen by millions, not just your manager and your mom.

If you spot design flaws in Netflix and whisper “kerning…” under your breath, welcome home.

What you’ll do (aka your daily drama)

• Create high-performing marketing creatives for social + performance campaigns

• Design thumb-stopping assets: thumbnails, story ads, reels covers, carousels, banners, app store creatives & many more

• Turn briefs into concepts fast & turn concepts into 10 variations faster

• Understand audience-first design (not just “trend-first design”)
  Because what works for Gen Z won’t work for your mom’s WhatsApp group

• Work closely with Growth, Content, Brand & Product teams to ship creatives at speed

• Keep an eye on social trends, meme formats, hooks, and editing styles

• Use AI like a weapon (a peaceful one): ideation, exploration, mockups, variants, motion, resizing & many more

• Maintain brand consistency while still keeping it fresh (yes, both)

You’re perfect if you…

• Have 2–4 years of experience in marketing/brand/communication design (startup experience = bonus)

• Are fast + structured: you can hustle without becoming chaotic

• Have strong fundamentals: layout, typography, hierarchy, color, composition

• Know how to design for performance (CTR/retention vibes) and not just “pretty”

• Can take feedback without taking it personally (we roast the design, not the designer)

• Can spot what’s “off” in a creative in 3 seconds (and fix it in 30)

• Understand prompting as a skill:
  “What’s in my mind should reach the output” via AI tools + smart iteration

Must-have toolkit

• AI (all latest models and platforms), Figma, Adobe Suite

• AI workflows: image/video generation, upscaling, background cleanup, rapid variations

• Ability to produce quick variants and clean final files

• Good understanding of social and ad formats

• A portfolio that shows: marketing creatives + thinking + execution

Good to have (but we’ll still talk if you don’t)

• Motion graphics (After Effects / Premiere / CapCut / etc.)

• Basic video editing sense (hooks, pacing, transitions)

• A little copy sense (hooks, punchlines, headline rhythm)

• Knowledge of Indian pop culture / micro-drama / web series ecosystem

What “success” looks like in this role

• You consistently ship quality creatives at speed

• Your designs improve CTR, installs, watch time or other clear growth metrics

• You build mini-systems/templates so we don’t reinvent the wheel every day

• You an AI Maestro in making

• You become the person who can translate: “this needs more drama” into actual design

Why join us

• You’ll work in the fastest-growing entertainment category right now

• You’ll get to experiment with AI + creativity at scale

• Your work won’t sit in folders it will go live, get tested, improved & celebrated
