Company Description
Ungrammary is a leading UX/UI design agency based in Mumbai, India, known for delivering high-quality digital design solutions. The agency collaborates with a diverse range of clients, including global brands such as Adobe Inc, Fossil Group, VMware, and Kotak Mahindra Bank, as well as prominent regional organizations. Ungrammary focuses on creating user-centered experiences for sectors spanning technology, finance, retail, and consumer goods. Team members work on impactful design projects that shape digital products used by a wide audience. The environment encourages creative problem-solving, collaboration, and continuous learning in the field of experience design.
Role Description
At Ungrammary, we believe the role of a designer is evolving. As AI makes execution faster and more accessible, the biggest differentiator will no longer be the ability to create screens quickly, it will be the ability to think, make sound design decisions, and create product experiences with exceptional craft.
We're looking for designers who combine UX fundamentals with outstanding visual design skills and are excited to embrace AI as part of their workflow.
What You'll Do
- Design end-to-end user experiences, from understanding problems to delivering polished interfaces.
- Create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI designs.
- Design interfaces that are visually distinctive, thoughtfully crafted, and difficult to replicate with generic AI outputs.
- Build scalable design systems and maintain consistency across products.
- Think through interaction design, micro-interactions, and user behaviour to create intuitive experiences.
- Collaborate with product managers, developers, researchers, and clients to solve complex product problems.
- Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow while applying your own judgment, creativity, and product thinking to every decision.
What We're Looking For
- Exceptional UI aesthetics and attention to detail.
- Strong understanding of Design principles, information architecture, user flows, and interaction design.
- Ability to think logically, structure complex problems, and justify design decisions.
- Proficiency in Figma and modern design workflows.
- Curiosity to continuously learn and adapt as design tools and workflows evolve.
- A portfolio demonstrating both excellent visual craft and strong product thinking.
Bonus Points
- Experience working on SaaS, fintech, healthcare, AI, or enterprise products.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows and prototyping tools.
- Experience contributing to or building design systems.
What You'll Work On
You'll design ambitious digital products for startups and global brands across AI, fintech, healthcare, SaaS, and consumer technology, solving real business problems while working alongside a team that values curiosity, craftsmanship, and continuous learning.
AI-Native Design Workflow (Expected)
We expect our designers to be AI-native in the way they work.
You should be comfortable using modern AI-powered design and productivity tools such as Figma Make, Claude (for design exploration), Paper, Lovable, Freepik AI, and similar tools to accelerate ideation, visual exploration, prototyping, and execution.
We value designers who know how to combine the right tools, iterate quickly, and "hack" together solutions rather than starting everything from a blank canvas. The competitive advantage isn't doing everything manually, it's knowing where human judgment, taste, and product thinking create the most value.
If you're someone who is constantly experimenting with new AI tools and evolving your workflow, you'll fit right in.
What you’ll get to do in this role:
Partner closely with product, content, and growth teams to shape user experiences for StoryTV and the Master App, defining what to build and how to build it.
Deeply understand user and creator behavior across short-form video, live streaming, and interactive social experiences.
Design end-to-end user journeys—from experience maps and storyboards to wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes.
Craft intuitive flows across content discovery, creator tools, engagement loops, and monetization journeys.
Ensure a seamless and consistent experience across StoryTV and the broader Eloelo ecosystem.
Plan and run usability testing to validate concepts and continuously improve product experience.
Contribute to scalable design systems and interaction patterns for rapidly evolving features.
What you’ll bring:
4-6 years of experience in UX/Interaction Design with a strong foundation in human-centered design.
A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end design thinking, from research to shipped experiences (preferably in content, social, or creator platforms)
Ability to simplify complex product problems into intuitive, user-friendly solutions
Strong understanding of information architecture for content-heavy and social platforms
Ability to clearly articulate design decisions backed by user insights and data
Proficiency in tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for wireframing and prototyping
Experience working in agile, fast-paced product environments
Strong collaboration and communication skills to work across cross-functional teams
High ownership, initiative, and a “make it work” mindset to take products from concept to launch
We are looking for a senior product design lead who can not only get hands on with business, analytics, UX and visual, but comes with great client handling, communication, team management and leadership skills.
Energetic, self-motivated, driven and ready to take on key responsibilities on the product and the business side.
Not a relaxed job. Will be hectic and would need someone who constantly has his/her eye on the ball.
Job includes directing a product, leading a design team and also owning parts of the UX design. Major role in visual design both on the product side and on the marketing and brand front.
