About the role
About HexCoded
HexCoded is an AI video studio: you should be able to make anything you can imagine. We're a very small team, based in Gurugram and working remotely, building the tools that are reshaping how video, image and audio get made.
You'd work directly with me. Small team means nothing sits between you and the thing that ships.
What you'll actually work on
Live in the product. Your first week is spent making real videos in Creative Studio, across our video and image models, until you know where it breaks. Then you tell us — specifically, with the fix, not just the complaint.
Own a fix end to end. Find the thing that loses us users, argue for it, spec it tightly enough to build, and build the parts you can. You will ship to production in your first month.
Know the models cold. Sixteen video and image models sit in one place. Learn what each is good at, what it costs and where it falls over — and be the person who can say which one to reach for, and why.
Talk to users. On calls, on chat, in their own words. Bring back what they actually said, not a summary of what we hoped they said.
Know the market better than its own marketing pages. What every competing tool costs, what it does better than us, and where we win.
Whatever is on fire. Some weeks that is a vendor, a spreadsheet, a hiring pipeline or a launch. This is the honest part of the job.
What you'll bring
You have built something real with AI. Not a tutorial — a thing that exists, that someone other than you has used. Whether you hand-wrote the code or drove a model to write it matters far less than whether it works and whether you can walk us through how.
You check the machine's work. You can point at a time AI confidently handed you something wrong, and say how you caught it. "It didn't get anything wrong" is the wrong answer.
You read a product like an owner. You notice the thing that costs a user money or time, and you can say what you would do about it — precisely enough that someone could go build it.
High agency. You close loops without being chased. Given a half-formed problem and no instructions, you come back with it handled — or with the one question that was actually blocking you.
Clear, short writing. Most of your output is words other people act on. Long and vague is worse than short and wrong.
Speed over polish. You would rather ship ten rough things this week than one perfect thing next month.
Six months, full time, remote. Final-year student or a 2026 graduate. Any degree.
How to apply
Open Creative Studio and make something first. Sign up, generate one video, and find where it frustrates you. Then apply and tell us the single thing you'd fix — and how you'd build it.
That paragraph is what we read first. A CV is fine, but it is not what decides this. Applications that clearly have not opened the product do not get past the first pass.
