Engineering Manager - Mobile Tech - SP

The Company

Mira Network is a decentralized AI verification protocol backed by $9M in funding. We're building infrastructure that makes AI outputs trustworthy and verifiable at scale — think of us as the trust layer for the AI economy.

Inside Mira, we're now building applications on top of this infrastructure. The first is Nola — an AI-first stablecoin neobank.

Nola isn't a banking app with a chatbot bolted on. It's an AI product with a bank attached. The AI agent is the primary interface — it manages your money, moves funds, earns yield on your idle balance, buys eSIMs, sets spending limits, and handles your financial life through conversation. You get a Visa card, a smart savings account, and cross-border payments — all orchestrated by an AI that actually does things for you, not one that just answers questions.

We're building for a global user — not India-first. Our ICP is the digitally native, globally mobile person who earns, spends, and saves across borders. The product is English-first, and the design language, UX patterns, and brand identity need to feel native to a global audience

The Role

You'll be the first and only designer at Nola. This is a zero-to-one role where you own everything visual — product, brand, marketing, and everything in between.

We currently work with a design agency for specific deliverables, but we need someone in-house who lives and breathes the product every day, ships fast, and holds an extremely high bar for craft and taste.

What you'll own:

• Product Design — End-to-end UX for an AI-native financial product. Onboarding flows, chat interfaces, card management, vault screens, transaction views, settings, error states, empty states. You'll work directly with engineering to ship pixels, not just hand off Figma files.
• Brand & Identity — Evolving and maintaining Nola's brand system. Logo, iconography, color, type, illustration style, tone of visual communication. The brand needs to feel warm, confident, and unmistakably premium — globally, not just locally.
• Marketing & Growth Design — Landing pages, social assets, launch videos, waitlist pages, pitch decks, investor materials. If it has pixels, it's yours.
• Design Systems — Building and maintaining a component library that scales. You'll establish the foundations that the product grows on.
• AI-Native UX — This is where it gets interesting. Nola's primary interface is a conversational AI agent. You'll be designing chat widgets, agentic workflows, confirmation patterns, and entirely new interaction paradigms that don't have established playbooks yet. If you've been thinking about what AI-native UI looks like beyond a chat bubble, this is your playground.

Who You Are

• Zero-to-one experience is non-negotiable. You've been the first or sole designer at a startup and shipped real products from blank canvas to live users. No hiding behind processes.
• You've designed for consumers, not dashboards. Your portfolio has B2C products, apps real people choose to open daily, not enterprise tools they're forced to use. Delight and brand perception matter as much as usability.
• You're multi-disciplinary. Product, brand, marketing, motion — you context-switch without losing quality. You don't need a team of specialists behind you.
• Your taste is global, not local. You reference Revolut, Cash App, Wise, Mercury, Arc, Linear — and can articulate why they work. Your portfolio competes internationally, not just within the Indian startup ecosystem.
• You're AI-native. Cursor, Midjourney, Figma AI, Claude — these are core to your workflow, not novelties. You ship at a pace that would be impossible without them, and you know when AI output needs a human hand.
• Your craft bar is extremely high. You obsess over spacing, type hierarchy, and micro-interactions. The gap between "good enough" and "exceptional" is where you live.
• You ship. Weekly sprints. 90% right and iterate. You know when to cut corners and when to go all out.

Qualifications

Must-haves

• 3–5 years of design experience, with meaningful time at early-stage startups or as a solo/first designer
• Demonstrated experience designing consumer-facing products (B2C apps, fintech, social, marketplace, or similar — not primarily B2B/SaaS/enterprise)
• Strong portfolio demonstrating product design, brand work, and marketing design — ideally all three
• Expert in Figma — prototyping, design systems, and auto-layout at scale
• AI-native workflow — you actively use tools like Cursor, Midjourney, Figma AI, Claude, etc. as core parts of how you design and ship, not as experiments

Good-to-haves

• Familiarity with frontend fundamentals (HTML/CSS, React basics) — you don't need to code, but being able to inspect, communicate constraints, and occasionally vibe-code a prototype is a plus
• Experience designing for mobile-first products (iOS specifically)
• Exposure to fintech, crypto, or AI products
• Strong written and verbal English communication

Why Nola

• Backed by real funding and infrastructure. Mira Network has raised $9M and has a live, functioning protocol. This isn't a two-person garage operation — it's a well-funded bet with real technical infrastructure underneath.
• Global product, global ambition. You're designing for the world, not a single market. The problems are harder, the design space is wider, and the impact is bigger.
• Small team, massive ownership. There's no design committee. No layers of approval. You'll present directly to the product lead and ship within the week. Your work will be the thing users see, touch, and judge the product by.
• Competitive compensation. We offer a competitive salary benchmarked to senior IC roles at well-funded Indian startups.
• Fully remote. Work from anywhere. We're a distributed team across India and we communicate asynchronously. We care about output, not office hours.
