Lead Product Designer

At Habuild, we're looking for a Lead Product Designer who believes great design isn't just about how something looks. It's about how effortlessly it works, how it makes people feel, and whether it helps them come back tomorrow.

Our users aren't necessarily digital natives. Many are older Indian women who are discovering technology alongside their wellness journeys. For them, simplicity isn't a design preference. It's everything.

We want someone who can turn complicated problems into experiences that feel intuitive, warm, trustworthy, and almost effortless.

The opportunity: Design for trust. Build for habits. Impact millions.:

You'll shape how millions of people discover, experience, and build lasting relationships with Habuild.

From the first interaction with our platform to the hundredth yoga session, you'll design experiences that make wellness feel accessible, engaging, and rewarding.

You'll work across acquisition, onboarding, engagement, referrals, and retention, while helping us expand into new products, platforms, and markets.

But this isn't a role where you simply make screens look beautiful.

We want someone who can understand users deeply, challenge product decisions, simplify complex journeys, and obsess over the smallest details that make an experience delightful.

You'll have the freedom to explore ideas, the ownership to bring them to life, and the opportunity to see your designs used by millions of people.

What you'll make happen:

• Own design from zero to one, and beyond. Lead the end-to-end product design process, from user research and problem discovery to wireframes, prototypes, polished interfaces, and launch. Stay hands-on, make thoughtful design decisions, and take ownership of the experience we ship.
• Make the complex feel effortless. Design simple, intuitive, and accessible experiences for users who may not be comfortable with technology. Remove unnecessary steps, reduce cognitive load, and create interfaces that feel natural, especially for older users.
• Turn first impressions into lasting relationships. Own the design of acquisition, onboarding, and referral journeys. Build experiences that establish trust quickly, communicate value clearly, and make it easy for users to get started, invite others, and become part of the Habuild community.
• Design habits, not just screens. Create experiences that motivate users to show up every day. Explore streaks, progress tracking, gamification, personalised journeys, and thoughtful micro-interactions that make consistency rewarding without making the product overwhelming.
• Design for the next million users. Build experiences that work across languages, cultures, devices, and levels of digital familiarity. Think regional languages, voice-first interactions, accessibility, low-bandwidth environments, and seamless experiences across mobile, web, and smart TVs.
• Build a design language that scales. Create and evolve scalable design systems, reusable components, and consistent interaction patterns. Help Habuild expand into new wellness categories and products while maintaining a familiar, cohesive, and trustworthy experience.
• Experiment with what's next. Explore emerging technologies and interaction patterns, from AI-powered wellness coaches and conversational interfaces to immersive experiences. Prototype quickly, test with real users, and turn promising ideas into practical product improvements.
• Make growth a design problem. Partner with product and marketing teams to create high-converting landing pages, campaign experiences, referral journeys, and acquisition funnels. Use experiments, behavioural insights, and A/B testing to understand what works and continuously improve conversion.
• Get obsessed with your users. Talk to users regularly. Watch how they navigate the product, understand where they struggle, and uncover needs they may not know how to articulate. Turn those insights into meaningful improvements. Great design starts with empathy, not Figma.
• Raise the design bar. Mentor designers, provide thoughtful feedback, and establish a culture of strong design thinking, attention to detail, and continuous improvement. Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and content teams to turn ambitious ideas into exceptional experiences.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for someone with 6+ years of product design experience, ideally building consumer-facing digital products used by large and diverse audiences.

You should have a strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to take complex product problems and turn them into simple, intuitive, and visually compelling experiences.

We're particularly interested in designers who understand how to build for non-tech-savvy users, older audiences, or users with varying levels of digital literacy.

You should be equally comfortable with UX thinking and visual execution, with strong fundamentals in user research, interaction design, information architecture, prototyping, and visual design.

We're looking for someone with an exceptional eye for detail and the ability to create interfaces that feel approachable, warm, accessible, and trustworthy.

You'll need strong hands-on proficiency in Figma, experience building and maintaining design systems, and the ability to work closely with product managers, engineers, marketers, and content teams.

Experience mentoring designers, leading design discussions, and raising the quality of work across a team will be important.

Most importantly, you should be someone who genuinely enjoys understanding users, questioning assumptions, and solving problems through design.

High ownership, strong product thinking, first-principles problem-solving, and a bias for action.

Bonus points if:

• You've designed products in B2C wellness, health, education, or other habit-driven categories.
• You've worked in high-growth consumer technology companies such as Swiggy, Zomato, CRED, Gojek, or similar product-led environments.
• You understand behavioural design, habit formation, accessibility, and inclusive design.
• You've experimented with AI-powered interfaces, conversational UX, or emerging interaction patterns.
• You have a degree in Design, HCI, or a related discipline.
