[28 / 09 / 2025] Design Engineer

TL;DR :

Indus is opening India’s markets to the world for the first time. We’ve built something people want, we’re growing fast, and we’re looking for a design-minded frontend engineer to take our product experience to the next level.

About Indus

We’re the first platform that allows anyone outside India to invest directly into Indian mutual funds. The process is simple and accessible - no need for an Indian bank account or the complex, slow onboarding that has always been the barrier.

We launched in January 2025 and have already onboarded more than 5,000 users. Backed by NZFF, Booster, and Angel HQ, we’ve secured regulatory approvals in New Zealand and India, and we’re launching in Australia in the next two months.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll take ownership of the user experience across Indus. Our customers are global, so the product needs to feel easy and intuitive for someone making their first investment and powerful for someone managing significant amounts.

Your work will include :

• Designing and building clean, intuitive flows in Flutter (mobile) and VueJS (web)
• Turning complex investment processes into experiences that feel effortless
• Prototyping and testing new features with users, then refining for launch
• Creating and maintaining a scalable design system for future growth

You’ll work closely with Jai (CEO), Vivek (CMO), and our engineering team from concept through to deployment.

Stack

Frontend : Flutter, VueJS

Backend : NestJS + TypeScript, PostgreSQL

Infrastructure : AWS (Lambda, EKS, Kinesis, S3, CloudFront, Terraform)

Who we’re looking for

The opportunity

We’re still early. You’ll be one of the first design engineers at Indus, and your work will directly shape how the product looks, feels, and works. We offer a competitive salary with equity benefits.

Team, culture and values

We’re a small, motivated founding team that works quickly and takes ownership of what we build. We value :

We’re a distributed team with New Zealand at the core. You’ll have the freedom to manage your own time while staying connected through a few regular calls each week and async communication the rest of the time.

Process

1. Intro call (30 min) with Jai

2. Product and tech deep dive (40 min)

3. UI / UX challenge (90 min)

4. Remote half-day working on a real Indus problem together
