teams to ship rapidly.\n\nAI-Native Interaction Design: \nPioneer proactive AI experiences where the assistant anticipates user needs instead of relying entirely on prompts.\nDesign dynamic, context-aware interfaces that adapt to user intent and tasks.\nExplore generative UI, conversational interactions, and agent-driven workflows.\nSimplify complex user journeys into effortless, intuitive experiences.\n\nDesign Systems and Visual Excellence: \nBuild Valo's design language and design system from scratch, including components, tokens, typography, motion, and micro-interactions.\nEstablish consistent, scalable design principles across the product.\nDeliver exceptional visual quality, interaction design, and usability.\nBalance aesthetic excellence with functionality, accessibility, and performance.\n\nProduct Thinking and Execution: \nWork closely with engineers to translate prototypes into production-ready experiences.\nUse Figma, interactive prototypes, AI-powered design tools, and rapid experimentation to validate ideas.\nLeverage user research, behavioural analytics, and product feedback to continuously improve experiences.\nTake ownership of what gets shipped, not just design deliverables.\n\nFounding Team Ownership: \nHelp define the product vision, design philosophy, and user experience strategy.\nOperate independently in a fast-moving, early-stage startup environment.\nEstablish design processes and eventually hire and mentor designers as the team grows.\n\nRequirements: \n3+ years of hands-on product design experience in consumer-focused startups, preferably building mobile-first, high-engagement products.\nStrong experience designing and shipping consumer products end-to-end, ideally in zero-to-one or early-stage environments.\nExceptional skills inUI/UX, visual design, interaction design, prototyping, and design systems.\nDemonstrated ownership of products from concept to production, working closely with engineering teams.\nStrong product intuition and the ability to simplify complex workflows into delightful user experiences.\nProficiency in Figma and modern prototyping tools.\nA strong portfolio showcasing shipped consumer products, design decisions, and measurable product impact.\nAbility to thrive in a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment.\n\nGood to Have\nExperience designing consumer products at scale, particularly for Indian users.\nExperience building design systems from scratch.\nExposure to AI-native products, conversational interfaces, agentic workflows, or
