FigmaProduct Designer, AM:PM
Compensation: 6–7 LPA
- You do not push pixels. You design products that feel inevitable. The kind where users do not notice the design because everything lands where it should.
- You do not show up with a moodboard. You show up with a flow that already solves the problem.
- You are not a “visual designer.
- You think hard about how Gen Z actually uses their phones.
- Why some apps stick. Why most do not. How a vertical video product can feel native without looking like every other vertical video product.
- You have built for Gen Z before. Not posters for a Gen Z brand. Product screens that real Gen Z users touched, used, skipped, returned to, or abandoned.
About AM:PM
AM:PM is a VC-backed news platform built for short-form video, reels, and fast threads, for Gen Z and millennials who want to stay informed without sitting through a panel of five people agreeing with each other for 40 minutes. We go deep without going slow. We understand internet culture because we live in it, not because we read a report about it.
Why this role matters
AM:PM is not building another news app. We are trying to change the form itself. The slash mechanic. The wraps. The newsroom. The discourse layer. These surfaces only work if the design pushes the product forward, not if it plays safe. You will decide what AM:PM looks like, feels like, and how users move through it.
What you will own
- Design the AM:PM app end-to-end across wraps, newsroom, and discourse
- Build the slash interaction for opinion and counter-opinion switching so it feels native, not gimmicky
- Create and maintain the AM:PM design system from the brand foundation up
- Use Figma, Claude, and any AI tool that helps you move faster without lowering the quality
- Run usability calls with real Gen Z users and use what you learn, not what you assume6. Work directly with the founding team and CTO to ship what you design
- Experiment fast, kill what does not work, and double down on what does
Who you are
- 1+ years of designing consumer mobile products that have shipped to real users
- You have worked on at least one Gen Z product end-to-end, not just one screen
- Your portfolio shows visual range, motion thinking, product logic, and more than one design language.
- You move at startup pace and do not need a perfect brief to begin
- Based in Mumbai or willing to relocate within commutable distance
This is a 0-to-1 journey. No senior designer above you. No safe template to copy. You are the design team. If that sounds like your kind of problem, drop your CV below or DM us.

FigmaRole 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.
