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.

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.

We're building the AI operating system for the $600B global managed IT market.

Managed service providers (MSPs) run IT for lots of small and mid-sized businesses. Their technicians spend most of the day on repetitive tickets — setting up new joiners, sharing folders, fixing sign-in issues. Our first product is an AI service desk. It learns how each MSP works, turns a ticket into a plan of exact steps, and runs only what a technician approves.

Our vision is to build additional products for other parts of the MSP's business (such as voice AI, business operations and analytics), turning this into the one AI operating layer for the MSP business.

We've just raised a $4.4M pre-seed from Seedcamp, Futurepresent and Entree Capital. Our founders previously built upGrad ($2B) and Kapiva ($250M), and come from Bain Capital, Parthenon, and Morgan Stanley. Our co-founders both studied CS at IIT Delhi.

We're building a small team with very high talent density in Mumbai — people from IIT Bombay, Yale, Rippling and more.

The role:

We're hiring our first Product Designer — someone who will shape how the product looks, feels, and works from the ground up.

The hardest design problem we have is trust. A technician needs to feel comfortable letting AI make changes in a customer's Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. So every screen needs to make it very clear what the AI knows, what it plans to do, and what it changed — and still be fast enough that a busy service desk actually uses it.

You'll work directly with the co-founder who leads product and our engineers, and own design end to end — from customer calls to shipped product.

What you'll do:

• Own the product experience end to end. Take problems from a first customer conversation to rough sketches, prototypes, and polished UI that ships — then keep improving it once it's live.
• Design how people and AI work together. Decide how the product explains what it knows, asks for approval, shows its progress, and owns up when something goes wrong. Make it easy for a technician to say yes with confidence.
• Make complex work feel simple. IT work is detailed and technical. You'll turn it into clear, fast experiences that busy teams can use without training.
• Stay close to customers. Join customer calls, watch technicians at work, test ideas with them every week, and bring what you learn straight into the product.
• Prototype fast, ideally in code. Use AI and design tools (Claude, Figma and others) to build working prototypes, so we learn from real use rather than static mockups.
• Design everywhere the product shows up — the app, integrations with tools technicians already use, operational dashboards and more.
• Build a lean design system. Give our engineers the building blocks to ship consistent UI without waiting on you.
• Set the bar for design. As our first designer, you'll shape how design is done here — the standard of quality, how we work, and who we hire next.

A few problems you might pick up in your first months: a single approval to set up 50 new joiners, with a clear "48 done, 2 need attention — and why"; a way for teams to see what the AI has learnt about each client, where it came from, and how to undo it; and a simple view that tells an owner the AI is working.

What we're looking for:

• Great product design work you've actually shipped. Consumer or B2B doesn't matter — we care much more about how you think than where you've worked.
• Strong craft and taste. Simple, clean and fast over flashy — think Linear, not a design studio website.
• Comfort going deep on a complex subject. You'll need to learn how things like Microsoft 365 groups and licences work, and enjoy doing it.
• Speed. You prototype in code or with AI tools and get ideas in front of users quickly.
• You use AI every day. You have opinions on what makes AI products feel trustworthy — and what makes them feel risky.
• High ownership and clear writing. You can take a messy problem all the way to something shipped, and explain your thinking simply along the way.

Nice to have:

• You've designed AI or agent products before.
• Early-stage startup or founder experience.
• You can write front-end code (React / Tailwind).

Probably not the right fit if

• Most of your work is brand, marketing, or research.
• You need a detailed spec and a design manager to do your best work.

Why join us?

• Real ownership. We're very early, so you'll shape how design works here — not inherit someone else's system.
• A hard, new problem. AI that takes real actions on real systems is still being figured out. You'll help define what good looks like.
• Fast impact. You'll work directly with the founders and see your work in customers' hands within weeks.

What You’ll Work On

• Design end-to-end experiences for SaaS and enterprise products, from understanding the problem and user needs to delivering and iterating on the final experience.
• Translate user needs, business requirements, and product constraints into clear, intuitive, and scalable design solutions.
• Structure complex products through user personas, user journeys, user flows, UX blueprints, interaction patterns, and information architecture.
• Design complex workflows, dashboards, and data-heavy experiences while keeping them intuitive and easy to navigate.
• Work across different user roles, permissions, modules, and product workflows, considering how decisions in one part of the product impact the overall experience.
• Build and maintain scalable design systems, including components, patterns, variants, states, properties, and design tokens.
• Identify opportunities to create reusable patterns and components rather than one-off solutions, ensuring consistency and scalability across products.
• Consider responsive design, accessibility, usability, edge cases, empty states, loading states, errors, and system feedback as part of the design process.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders and ensure designs are implemented accurately.
• Identify UX problems and opportunities proactively rather than simply designing against a given brief.
• Participate in design discussions, critiques, iterations, and product decisions.

What We’re Looking For

Strong design fundamentals are non-negotiable.

You should have a solid understanding of:

• UI/UX and visual design principles
• User personas and user needs
• User journeys and journey mapping
• User flows and task flows
• UX blueprints
• Information architecture
• Interaction design
• Usability and accessibility
• Responsive and adaptive design
• Design systems and component-based design
• Design tokens
• Components, variants, states, and properties
• Figma and modern product-design workflows

More importantly, you should understand why these tools, methods, and systems are used — not just how to use them in Figma.

SaaS & Product Thinking

We’re looking for someone who can think beyond individual screens and understand how an entire product works as a system.

You should be comfortable with:

• Complex, multi-step SaaS workflows
• Role-based experiences and permissions
• Dashboards and data-heavy interfaces
• Product navigation and information hierarchy
• Designing for multiple modules and interconnected workflows
• Scalability, consistency, and maintainability
• Edge cases and system states
• Making design decisions that work across the broader product, not just within a single screen

Design System Mindset

You should be comfortable building, maintaining, and evolving design systems, including:

• Creating and maintaining component libraries
• Defining reusable components, patterns, variants, and states
• Understanding and applying design tokens
• Maintaining visual and interaction consistency
• Deciding when a solution should become a reusable pattern versus a one-off
• Structuring systems that can scale as the product grows
• Collaborating with developers to ensure accurate design-system implementation

• Create scalable design systems, components, and patterns that enable consistency across products.
• Think deeply about interaction design, user behaviour, edge cases, and the details that make an experience feel intuitive.
• Identify gaps in a product or design direction and proactively propose better solutions rather than simply executing requirements.
• Present and defend design decisions with clarity, adapting your communication to different stakeholders.
• Contribute to product strategy, storytelling, workshops, and client conversations beyond the scope of UI/UX execution.
• Mentor and provide constructive feedback to junior and mid-level designers.
• Stay curious about emerging design tools, technologies, and AI workflows and continuously evolve how you work.

What We're Looking For

• 4–6 years of experience in UX/UI, product design, or a related field.
• Exceptional UI aesthetics and a high level of attention to detail.
• Strong understanding of information architecture, user flows, interaction design, prototyping, and usability.
• Ability to think beyond individual screens and understand the larger product ecosystem.
• Strong product thinking and the ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
• Ability to independently take ownership of a project or significant workstream.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate and defend design decisions.
• Proficiency in Figma and modern product design workflows.
• Experience working with design systems and scalable product interfaces.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual craft and thoughtful UX thinking.
• Curiosity and adaptability — you actively explore new tools and ways of working rather than relying on a fixed process.
