Proven track record designing high-impact, user-centric experiences at scale (portfolio required)

Deep expertise in interaction design, typography, layout, and visual systems

Strong grasp of data-informed design , you connect pixels to metrics (engagement, retention, growth)

Hands-on mastery of Figma and proficiency with rapid prototyping tools

AI-fluent mindset , experimenting with AI in your design workflow or building AI-first features

Excellent communication, storytelling, and stakeholder management skills

Bonus : Background from NID, NIFT, Srishti, IDC, MIT-ID, or equivalent design programs

Why Join Us

Grow with the best : Collaborate with a sharp, ambitious, and mission-driven team
