[Hiring] Experience Designer @Pixaera

Role Description

We make immersive safety-training modules for industrial companies - oil & gas, energy, construction, datacenters. Our fastest-growing format is the Storybook: a short, illustrated, narrated video story - think a graphic novel brought to screen - where a recurring cast of characters lives through a real workplace hazard. The stories are built almost entirely with an AI pipeline we've developed: story and dialogue drafted with LLMs, frames generated in a locked painterly style, voiceover and video generated from there.

We're looking for someone to run that pipeline end to end: turn a training brief into a story, the story into a storyboard, the storyboard into finished frames and video.

Why this matters: Frontline workers have seen a thousand bullet-point safety courses and remember none of them. What sticks is a story: a character they recognize, a decision that feels real, a consequence that lands. Every module we make starts from fixed learning objectives and real customer references - the story exists to teach, and every beat has to earn its place. The craft is making that invisible: a viewer should feel like they watched a good short film, and only afterwards realize they now know exactly when to stop a lift.

What you'll do:

• Take a brief - learning objectives, a procedure, an incident report, customer reference photos - and find the story in it: characters, setting, a sequence of beats that teaches every objective.
• Write the storyboard: shot by shot, with natural dialogue and narration, in our established format.
• Generate the frames with our AI pipeline, in a locked art style with our recurring cast, keeping characters, outfits, equipment, and settings consistent from shot to shot.
• Iterate until it's right: check every frame and every line against the learning objectives and the customer's references, and redo what doesn't hold up.
• Brief our 2D artists on frames that need hand correction, and review what comes back.
• Assemble the result into video: timing, pacing, holds, syncing narration to picture.
• Run several modules in parallel and keep each one moving.

Where this could grow: The pipeline is getting more capable every month, and we're scaling this format hard. Someone who proves they can own a module end to end - brief in, finished video out - can grow into owning delivery across a whole series, and into helping shape the pipeline itself: the templates, the prompts, the checks. The people who do best here treat the tools as their own and keep making them better.

The honest version: You don't pick what to teach - learning objectives arrive fixed, and a learning designer signs off the result. You don't pick the look - the art style and cast are locked, and accuracy to the customer's real equipment beats artistic preference every time. This is disciplined storytelling inside a tight frame, with a lot of iteration, at volume. If that constraint sounds like a fun puzzle - how good a story can you tell inside these walls - you'll thrive here and we'll keep you busy. If you're looking for open-ended creative ownership of your own ideas, it won't be the right fit.

Qualifications

• Story craft - you can write a tight scene with dialogue that sounds like people talking, not a compliance manual.
• Visual storytelling - you think in shots: what the camera sees, what changes between frames, when to hold and when to cut.
• Real fluency with AI tools - LLMs for drafting, image generation as a daily instrument.
• Detail discipline - you work from reference photos and spec sheets, you notice when a harness is missing in frame 7, and you check your own work before anyone else has to.
• Clear coordination - you can brief an artist precisely, take feedback without friction, and keep multiple modules organized.
• The ability to read dry source material - procedures, regulations, incident reports - and pull a human story out of it.
• Reliable communication and availability with some overlap with UK working hours.

Requirements

• Big bonus (not required): image editing or illustration skills. If you can open a generated frame in Photoshop, Procreate or Krita and fix it yourself - restore a missing glove, repair a mangled hand, match the style so the correction is invisible - you'll need our 2D artists far less and your modules will move faster.
• Also nice to have: instructional design exposure, video editing (Premiere, Resolve, CapCut), motion graphics, or experience with safety, industrial or technical content.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options — everyone shares in what we're building.
• 25 days holiday + public holidays.
• Fully equipped setup from day one (no waiting for laptops).
• Regular company offsites and team socials.
• A flat, transparent culture with direct access to leadership.
