Career Interests
Product Management
Position Responsibilities
An AI-first product designer who ships. This role partners with product and engineering to design, prototype, and validate workflow-driven AI experiences across our enterprise products. You work close to the code — prototyping in Cursor, Claude, and Figma Make — and use the Harmony Design System as your foundation. You are growing into strategic UX thinking: framing problems, questioning requirements, and proposing direction, not just executing tickets.
Core Responsibilities
- AI-first interaction design
Design embedded, workflow-driven AI experiences — not bolted-on chat. Apply established guardrails (explainability, progressive disclosure, human-in-the-loop) from the Dela AI Holistic Framework and NN/g principles to concrete product surfaces.
- Vibecoded prototyping
Build working, high-fidelity prototypes using Cursor, Claude, GitHub, and Railway. Translate ideas into executable UX that engineers can pull from directly, rather than static mockups that require re-interpretation. Fluency with modern AI coding tools is core to the role, not a bonus.
- Design system fluency
Use the Harmony Design System as the default starting point. Contribute patterns and components back, flag gaps, and help keep design intent aligned with implemented UI across Figma, GitHub, and Railway.
- Research participation and synthesis
Actively participate in usability testing, ProjectCon UX Labs, and validation sessions. Synthesize findings into concrete design changes and backlog-ready recommendations. Develop the instinct for which research questions matter most.
- Strategic thinking in practice
Go beyond "make the screen." Ask why the workflow exists, who it serves, and whether the framing is right. Bring a point of view to design reviews and capability specs. Escalate when a requirement conflicts with good UX outcomes, and propose alternatives grounded in research and systems thinking.
- Fusion-team collaboration
Work as an embedded member of a product + engineering + UX fusion team. Contribute to capability specs and acceptance criteria, and participate in AI-assisted build/verify cycles alongside engineers.
Work Location
India (Remote), India-Bangalore
Qualifications
3–6 years designing digital products, ideally with exposure to B2B, enterprise, or data-dense domains.
Demonstrated use of AI coding and prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude, Figma Make, or equivalents) in real product work — not just exploration.
Comfortable working in and contributing to a mature design system.
Early evidence of strategic thinking: reframing problems, questioning scope, and shaping direction — not only executing handoffs.
Collaborative, research-curious, and comfortable working close to engineering.
