ShareChat is hiring an AI Animator for its Content Operations team: a fully remote role, open to candidates with 0–1 years of experience, building AI-generated visual content for microdramas on QuickTV. Before anything else, be clear about what this is: a creative role, not an engineering one. If you are a CS or IT graduate looking for a developer job, this is not it. If you come from film, animation, media, design or VFX, or you have simply been making things with Midjourney and Runway in your own time, this is one of the more genuinely interesting openings on this board.
What makes it interesting is that the job did not exist two years ago. ShareChat is not asking for a traditional animator who happens to use AI tools; it is asking for someone who directs with prompts: breaking a script into shots, deciding framing and continuity, then generating those shots through AI models and cutting them into something an audience will actually watch. The listed requirements say so outright: shot-by-shot breakdowns for AI prompts, contributing to prompt engineering techniques, and running experiments on new generative AI advances. It is a director’s skillset pointed at a new kind of camera.

| Product | QuickTV — vertical episodic microdrama app |
| Experience | 0–1 years (3–6+ months preferred; freshers welcome) |
| Location | Remote, India |
| Portfolio | Required — your own work |

What You Will Actually Make
The product is the thing to understand here. QuickTV is ShareChat’s microdrama app: vertical, episodic, short-form scripted content. It crossed 10 million downloads within three months of launch and the network now has 60 million monthly active users watching this format. Microdrama is one of the fastest-growing content categories anywhere, and ShareChat is building its pipeline on generative AI rather than conventional production.
Your day-to-day, as the posting describes it:
- Use AI tools to generate, design and edit visual content (AI-created images, character shots and video scenes) for emotionally engaging microdramas, keeping continuity and smoothness intact.
- Break scripts down shot by shot, including characters and backgrounds, into the prompts that will generate them.
- Work with writers and creative directors to turn creative ideas into AI-driven visual stories.
- Hold visual identity, tone and messaging consistent across formats.
- Take feedback and quickly produce multiple refined versions tuned to platform performance.
- Contribute to the team’s prompt engineering techniques.
- Research and experiment with new generative AI advances, and turn that into better, faster output.
Notice the word “continuity”, because it is the hardest part of this job. Generating one striking image is easy; generating the same character, in the same clothes, with the same face, across forty shots of an episode is where AI video production actually breaks. The posting names it twice. If you have wrestled with character consistency across a sequence and found workarounds, that experience is worth more in the interview than a showreel of individually pretty frames.
What You Need — and What You Don’t
| Requirement | Level |
|---|---|
| Experience | 3–6+ months in AI video generation, video editing or filmmaking — freshers with strong creative foundations welcome |
| Background | Film, animation, media, design, VFX or similar |
| Tools | Hands-on with at least one: AI tools (Runway, Midjourney, Nano Banana, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0 or similar), editing software (Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut), or photo editing / graphic design tools |
| Portfolio | Your own work — AI-generated content, video edits, short films, ad films, or college projects |
| Craft | Basic understanding of shot types, framing and shot planning — stated as core to the role |
| Language | Fluent written and spoken English, with a good feel for US tone and dialogue |
| Nice to have | Familiarity with English films, web series or microdrama genres; post-production workflows including editing, sound, VFX and Excel |
“Hands-on with at least one” is a deliberately low bar, and you should read it as an invitation. You do not need the full stack. One tool, used properly, with work to show for it. Most of the AI tools named have free or cheap tiers, which means a motivated fresher can build a credible portfolio for this role in a few weeks, which is not true of most jobs that ask for a portfolio.
The requirement that will surprise people is the US tone one. ShareChat is India’s largest vernacular platform, serving 15 regional languages, yet this role asks for fluent English with a feel for US dialogue, and lists familiarity with English films and web series as a plus. Read that as a signal about what QuickTV is making: English-language microdrama aimed at an international audience, not regional-language content. If your instinct for pacing and dialogue comes from Hollywood and US streaming rather than Indian television, that is an advantage here rather than a gap.
The Portfolio Is the Application
With 0–1 years of experience and freshers explicitly welcome, there is very little else for a recruiter to assess. The posting asks for a portfolio of your own work and names college projects as acceptable, so the barrier is lower than it looks, but the portfolio has to do real work.
What would actually land, given what this role is:
- A short sequence, not a gallery. Three to five shots that hold the same character and setting beats twenty unrelated images, because sequence is what the job is.
- Show the breakdown. If you can present a script fragment, your shot list, and the prompts you used, you are demonstrating the exact skill the posting describes: most applicants will submit only finished frames.
- Name the tools and the versions. The field moves monthly; saying you used Kling 3.0 tells a reviewer more than “AI video”.
- Include something you fixed. A before-and-after where continuity broke and you solved it says more about your competence than a clean result.
For the written application itself, our guide to building an ATS-friendly resume covers how to structure a CV when your evidence is creative work rather than employment history, and remember to put the portfolio link where it cannot be missed.
Who Should Apply?
- Film, animation, media, design and VFX students and graduates. This is your field, with a new toolset.
- Anyone who has been making AI video or imagery seriously in their own time and has the work to show.
- Candidates with a real feel for shot composition and visual storytelling, even without professional credits.
- Those comfortable with fast iteration: the posting asks for multiple refined versions delivered quickly against evolving briefs.
- Anyone who follows generative AI developments closely, since researching new models is a stated responsibility.
- Candidates who want remote work without relocating.
Who Is This Role Not For?
- Software engineers looking for a developer role. Despite “AI” in the title, there is no programming here. This is creative production.
- Candidates without any portfolio. There is no way around it for a role assessed on craft.
- Traditional animators unwilling to work primarily through AI generation rather than frame-by-frame craft.
- Those who want slow, considered production cycles: the posting asks explicitly for high-output, fast-paced work.
- Candidates uncomfortable writing and judging English dialogue with a US sensibility.
- Anyone who needs the salary confirmed before applying, since none is published.
Salary
ShareChat has not disclosed a salary or CTC in this posting. For an entry-level creative role at a profitable product company, raise it at the first recruiter conversation. It is also worth asking whether the role is a full-time employee position or a contract engagement, since the posting does not specify, for remote creative roles that distinction affects benefits and stability, and it is a fair question to ask early.
Selection Process
The posting does not describe the rounds. For a creative role of this kind, expect the portfolio to be screened first, followed by a conversation about your work, and quite possibly a practical task: generating a short sequence from a supplied brief is the obvious test, and it is the one that would genuinely separate candidates.
Prepare to talk through process, not just output: how you broke a scene down, what you tried that failed, how you held continuity, how many iterations it took. The posting values contributing to prompt engineering techniques and sharing insights with the team, which means they want someone who can articulate method rather than just produce results. Our guide to answering “tell me about yourself” as a fresher covers the opening that creative interviews, like any other, tend to start with.
Other Current Openings Worth a Look
- HPE External Intern, Pune — another current opening with a remote component.
- CloudSEK SDE Intern, Frontend — the closest thing to a design-adjacent technical role currently open.
- Fresher hiring trends in 2026 — useful context on how fast AI-native job titles like this one are appearing.
How to Apply
- Go to ShareChat’s careers portal and find AI Animator, Job ID 2450.
- Prepare your portfolio link before you start. This is the part of the application that decides the outcome.
- Submit your resume with your creative background, tools and projects named explicitly. List the specific AI tools you have used rather than writing “AI tools”.
- If you have a showreel, keep it short. A reviewer assessing entry-level applicants will give you seconds, not minutes: lead with your strongest sequence.
- Submit, and ask about salary, employment type and team structure at the first conversation.

About ShareChat
ShareChat, operated by Mohalla Tech Pvt Ltd, describes itself as India’s largest homegrown social media company and the only local player to have reached profitability, with over 200 million Monthly Monetizable Users across its platforms. Founded in 2015, its portfolio includes the ShareChat app, Moj, and the microdrama app QuickTV.
