Frontend Design Engineer | Figma + React/TypeScript
Full-time · Remote · 0.5–3 years of experience
₹4–8 lakh per year + ESOPs
Who we are
We’re Alpha, building an AI-native workspace for go-to-market teams. We care about thoughtful product design and the engineering that makes it work: clear information, useful interactions and interfaces that remain reliable as workflows become more complex.
What we’re building
Alpha brings contacts, a unified inbox, campaigns, knowledge and AI-assisted creation into one workspace. These connected workflows present real design challenges: helping users navigate information, manage conversations, move between views and understand what’s happening at every step.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys turning that complexity into an interface people can understand and use confidently.
The role
You’ll work across product design and frontend engineering, taking a feature from user flows and Figma designs through to a working React implementation.
Both sides matter. You should be comfortable making visual and interaction decisions, then translating them into reusable components, responsive layouts and well-managed application state. Your work should feel considered in the details and hold up beyond the happy path.
Key responsibilities
- Design user flows and interfaces in Figma with clear hierarchy, thoughtful interactions and consistent visual details
- Build those experiences in React and TypeScript, carrying the design intent through to the finished interface
- Create and maintain reusable Figma and frontend components
- Implement API integrations, asynchronous interactions and shared state across screens and views
- Handle loading, empty, error and recovery states, keyboard access and different screen sizes
- Work with the team to clarify requirements, discuss trade-offs and iterate on features
- Test your work, investigate bugs and improve usability and reliability
What we’re looking for
- Hands-on ability in both Figma product design and frontend development
- Strong fundamentals in React, TypeScript, HTML and CSS
- A good eye for typography, spacing, hierarchy and interaction design
- Familiarity with component-based development, state management and API integration
- Portfolio or reference work showing what you personally designed and built
- The ability to explain your decisions, code and contribution clearly, including where teammates or AI tools helped
Good-to-have skills
- Experience with SaaS, CRM, AI or workflow-heavy products
- Familiarity with Vite, Tailwind CSS and design systems
- Experience with data-rich interfaces such as tables, boards, filters and detail panels
- Experience with frontend testing and accessibility
What we offer
- Full-time remote work
- Competitive compensation within a ₹4–8 lakh annual salary band
- Equity through ESOPs
- Ownership across design and implementation, with a direct contribution to how Alpha’s product works and feels
How to apply
Share your portfolio or relevant reference work, along with a working demo and code or a code walkthrough where available. Briefly explain what you owned, one important design or engineering decision, and what you would improve next.

Location: Bengaluru. Full-time. Full JD: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/superkalam/jobs/gvVQ5BQ-product-designer-2-4yrs-experience
Role Overview:
As Product Designer at Marbles Health, you'll own the end-to-end design of our product experience from early strategy and user research through to final UI execution. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to influence not just how the product looks, but how it works and why.
This isn't a role for someone whose first instinct is only "I can make this look pretty."
Before you read further, a few honest questions:
A user's health data flow feels confusing. What's your first move?
❌ "I'll flag it to the PM and wait for direction."
✅ "I'll sit with the clinical logic until I understand why it's built this way, then propose what should change."
You're designing a screen explaining a brain-health metric to a non-technical user. Where do you start?
❌ "I'll make it look clean and modern."
✅ "I'll figure out what the user is actually afraid of or confused about, then design for that first."
How do you use Claude or ChatGPT in your work?
❌ "I use it for inspiration and copy."
✅ "I use it to pressure-test flows, generate variants fast, and get from a rough idea to a testable prototype in hours, not days."
What does ownership look like to you?
❌ "I hand off the Figma file and move to the next ticket."
✅ "I stay close to it post-launch - funnel data, session recordings, A/B results - because shipping isn't the finish line."
If the "yeah!" answers sound like you, keep reading.
What You'll Do
- Lead UX strategy for key product areas - translating user needs, business goals, and clinical/health considerations into clear design direction.
- Design end-to-end user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI for web and mobile experiences.
- Conduct and synthesize user research (interviews, usability testing, surveys) to validate design decisions.
- Build and maintain a scalable design system/component library in collaboration with engineering.
- Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineers from ideation through shipping — you're in the room for strategy, not just execution.
- Translate complex health information into simple, trustworthy, and accessible interfaces.
- Use data (funnel metrics, session recordings, A/B tests) to inform and iterate on designs post-launch.
- Present design rationale clearly to stakeholders, including non-design leadership.
What We're Looking For
- 2-5 years of experience as a Product Designer or UX/UI Designer, ideally in a consumer app, health tech, or fintech environment.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking (flows, research, problem-framing) and high-quality UI execution.
- Proficiency in Figma (or equivalent) and familiarity with prototyping tools.
- Experience designing for both web and mobile platforms.
- Comfort working with ambiguity - you can turn a loosely defined problem into a structured design process.
- Basic understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG), especially relevant in health products used by diverse populations.
- Strong communication skills, able to justify design decisions with reasoning, not just aesthetics.
- Bonus: prior experience in health tech, wellness, or a regulated/trust-sensitive consumer category.
Nice to Have
- Experience running or contributing to a formal design system.
- Familiarity with basic HTML/CSS (to collaborate more fluidly with engineering).
- Exposure to behavioral design principles (habit formation, nudges) relevant to health engagement.
- Motion design skills (micro-interactions, transitions, product animations).
- Experience creating print collaterals (brochures, packaging, in-clinic materials).
- An AI-forward mindset - curiosity about using AI tools in the design process and designing AI-native product experiences.
What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months
- Ownership of at least one major product flow, redesigned or shipped based on user research.
- A functioning or improved design system adopted across the product.
- Established a lightweight, repeatable UX research process for the team.
If you want real ownership in health tech and are ready to dig into complexity most people avoid, we'd love to see your work.

DISCOVER → CURIOSITY → COMPATIBILITY → INTERACTION → UNDERSTAND → IRL EXPERIENCE → FRIENDSHIP
THE AI LAYER
Alongside the platform, we are building a proactive personal companion that learns about the user and helps them navigate this journey through personalized recommendations, suggestions, reminders and experiences.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Founding Product Engineer to help build the platform from the ground up. This is a 0→1 product engineering role where you work directly with the founder and engineering team to turn ambiguous product problems into working software.
You will be expected to:
Understand the problem → explore solutions → make trade-offs → design → build → ship → measure → improve.
WHAT YOU WILL BUILD & OWN
MOBILE
Onboarding, profiles, discovery, interactions, messaging, activities, and companion experiences.
SOCIAL SYSTEMS
Relationships, social graph, compatibility, and interaction flows.
BACKEND
APIs, services, authentication, notifications, and background processes.
DATA
PostgreSQL models, user/activity data, analytics, and behavioural signals.
REAL-TIME
Messaging, live interactions, notifications, and event-driven workflows.
AI-ENABLED
Recommendations, personalization, and companion-powered experiences.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Cloud deployment, CI/CD, monitoring, reliability, and cost management.
WHAT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LOOKS LIKE
• Build and ship mobile and full-stack product features end-to-end.
• Design APIs, database models, and backend services for a social product.
• Translate ambiguous product problems into simple, reliable technical solutions.
• Make architecture and engineering trade-offs for performance, scalability, security, and cost.
• Work closely with the founder, product/design team, and Companion Intelligence engineer.
• Prototype quickly, test assumptions, and iterate based on user behaviour and product feedback.
• Own features from problem → architecture → implementation → deployment → improvement.
• Help establish engineering practices around testing, monitoring, security, and reliability.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
• Experience: 0–4 years, including exceptional fresh graduates. Strong 1–3 year engineers and experienced 3–4 year product builders are welcome.
• Fundamentals: Strong CS/software engineering fundamentals.
• Evidence of Building: We value what you have built more than the number of years on your résumé. Shipped apps, strong side projects, hackathons, internships, open source, or startup work are highly valued.
• Mindset: High ownership, curiosity, strong fundamentals, clear communication, learning velocity, and the ability to work through ambiguity.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
MOBILE CAPABILITY
Can you build and ship a polished mobile experience?
ENGINEERING DEPTH
Do you understand why a system works, not just how to make it run?
PRODUCT JUDGMENT
Can you determine what should be built when the problem is ambiguous?
ARCHITECTURE / SYSTEMS
Can you reason across APIs, databases, services, real-time systems, scale, and cost?
SPEED OF EXECUTION
Can you move from idea → prototype → production quickly without compromising fundamentals?
AI FAMILIARITY
Do you understand how modern AI can become a useful, reliable product capability?
BUILD WITH US
You will join at a stage where many answers do not exist yet. You will not simply implement someone else’s architecture, you will help decide what the architecture and product should become.
