The product aims to make everyday tasks easier for millions of Indian users through autonomous AI assistants that can understand intent, plan actions, coordinate services, manage bookings, make calls, and deliver verified outcomes.\nThis is not a traditional UI/UX role. You will work directly with the founders, product, and engineering teams to rethink how people interact with AI, moving beyond conventional chat-based interfaces towards proactive, agent-driven experiences.\nAs the founding designer, you will establish the product's design language, define its interaction principles, and build intuitive, engaging, and scalable consumer experiences from the ground up. You will also have the opportunity to shape the design vision and eventually build and lead the design team.\nRequirements\nKey Responsibilities\n1. End-to-End Product Design\nOwn the complete product design lifecycle, from user research and problem discovery to wireframing, prototyping, implementation, and launch.\nDesign intuitive, high-quality, mobile-first consumer experiences.\nTranslate complex AI capabilities into simple, accessible, and engaging user interactions.\nCollaborate closely with founders, product managers, and engineering teams to develop and ship products rapidly.\n2. AI-Native Interaction Design\nDesign proactive AI experiences where the assistant anticipates user needs rather than relying entirely on user prompts.\nCreate dynamic, context-aware interfaces that adapt to user intent, preferences, and tasks.\nExplore generative UI, conversational interactions, and agent-driven workflows.\nSimplify complex, multi-step user journeys into seamless and intuitive experiences.\n3. Design Systems & Visual Excellence\nBuild the product's design language and design system from scratch, including components, design tokens, typography, motion, and micro-interactions.\nEstablish consistent and scalable design principles across the product.\nDeliver high standards of visual design, interaction design, usability, and accessibility.\nBalance aesthetic quality with functionality and product performance.\n4. Product Thinking & Execution\nWork closely with engineers to translate design concepts and prototypes into production-ready experiences.\nUse Figma, interactive prototypes, AI-powered design tools, and rapid experimentation to validate design decisions.\nLeverage user research, behavioural analytics, and product feedback to continuously improve user experiences.\nTake ownership of the final product experience and shipped outcomes, not just design deliverables.\n5. Founding Team Ownership\nContribute to defining the product vision, design philosophy, and overall user experience strategy.\nOperate independently in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.\nEstablish design processes, standards, and workflows as the product and team scale.\nBuild, mentor, and eventually lead the design team as the organisation grows.\nRequired Skills & Experience\n3+ years of hands-on product design experience, preferably within consumer-focused startups.\nStrong experience designing and shipping mobile-first, high-engagement consumer products end-to-end.\nExperience owning products from concept to production, ideally in zero-to-one or early-stage environments.\nExceptional skills in UI/UX design, visual design, interaction design, prototyping, and design systems.\nStrong product thinking and the ability to simplify complex workflows into intuitive user experiences.\nHands-on proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping tools.\nAbility to collaborate effectively with engineering teams and translate design concepts into functional products.\nA strong portfolio demonstrating shipped consumer products, design decisions, and measurable product impact.\nAbility to work with high ownership, autonomy, and adaptability in a fast-moving startup environment.\nMust-Have Skills\nProduct Design\nUI/UX Design\nGood-to-Have Skills\nAI-Native Products\nConversational Interfaces\nAgentic Workflows\nAdditional Advantages\nExperience designing consumer products at scale, particularly for Indian users.\nExperience building design systems from scratch.\nExposure to AI-powered products, conversational interfaces, agentic workflows, or generative UI.\nFamiliarity with Figma Make, AI-assisted design workflows, or frontend prototyping.\nPrevious experience leading design initiatives or mentoring other designers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4779,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer
