Founding Product Designer - UI/UX

Company: Ve – The Intent Company
Location: Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Experience: 4+ years
Employment: Full-time
About Ve
At Ve, we’re building a new generation of AI-native software that fundamentally changes how people interact with computers, intelligence, and technology.
We believe the next generation of software won’t simply respond to commands. It will understand intent, anticipate needs, and help people accomplish things that previously seemed impossible.
We’re a small, ambitious engineering team building at the frontier of AI, intelligent agents, and human-computer interaction.
Design is central to everything we’re creating.
The opportunity
We’re looking for one exceptional Product Designer to take complete ownership of our UX and UI.
This is not a role where you’ll join an existing design team.
You will be the design team.
You’ll work directly with the founder and engineers, shaping everything from product concepts and user journeys to visual design, interactions, prototypes, and the final shipped experience.
We’re looking for someone who combines exceptional visual taste with deep product thinking and relentless execution.
Someone who can take an ambitious, complicated idea and make it feel incredibly simple.
What you’ll own
* Entire product UX: User journeys, workflows, information architecture, navigation, and overall product usability.
* Entire product UI: Visual language, layouts, typography, colors, components, and pixel-level polish.
* Interaction design: Microinteractions, animations, transitions, feedback, and fluid user experiences.
* Product exploration: Turn rough ideas into thoughtful product concepts, challenge assumptions, and propose better solutions.
* Prototyping: Rapidly create interactive, high-fidelity prototypes to test and communicate ideas.
* Design systems: Build and maintain a consistent, scalable design foundation.
* Engineering collaboration: Work closely with developers to ensure designs are implemented beautifully and correctly.
* Shipped quality: Personally review the product, identify problems, and continuously improve the experience.
You’ll own the design process from the first idea to the final pixel.
What we’re looking for
* Minimum 4 years of professional product design experience.
* An exceptional portfolio demonstrating outstanding UI craftsmanship and thoughtful UX decisions.
* Strong expertise in Figma, advanced prototyping, and design systems.
* Proven ability to independently design complex products from end to end.
* Excellent understanding of interaction design, motion, and usability.
* Ability to simplify sophisticated technical workflows.
* Strong product intuition and independent decision-making.
* Ability to work directly with founders and engineers without extensive supervision.
* Fast execution, strong attention to detail, and uncompromising quality standards.
* Genuine curiosity about AI, developer tools, and the future of computing.
Experience designing desktop applications, developer tools, AI products, or sophisticated productivity software is a significant advantage.
Ability to prototype with code is a strong plus.
Who you are
You don’t just design screens. You think about the entire experience.
You notice details others miss.
You have strong opinions, but you’re willing to change your mind when a better idea emerges.
You don’t wait for detailed instructions. You investigate problems, explore alternatives, and take initiative.
You care deeply about what gets shipped, not just what looks good in Figma.
You’re comfortable working independently, taking difficult decisions, and being accountable for the quality of your work.
You enjoy moving fast, iterating constantly, and working closely with people who have extremely high standards.
You want ownership, not just assignments.
What makes this opportunity special
We’re building products where many of the established rules of software interaction are being rewritten.
You’ll have the opportunity to explore entirely new interfaces for AI, intelligent agents, and human-computer collaboration.
You’ll work directly with the founder, influence major product decisions, and own the design direction of the company.
No design bureaucracy. No layers of management. No unnecessary approvals.
Just the opportunity to create exceptional products with a deeply technical team.
This is an intense, hands-on role with high expectations and meaningful autonomy. We’re looking for someone who enjoys taking responsibility and doing their best work in a fast-moving startup environment.
What success looks like
Within your first 90 days:
* Take ownership of Ve’s complete product design experience.
* Establish a consistent, high-quality visual and interaction language.
* Identify and solve critical usability problems.
* Design and ship meaningful product improvements with engineering.
* Raise the overall standard of product simplicity, beauty, and usability.
Our expectation is simple:
Every experience you touch should become significantly better.
How to apply
Share your portfolio and tell us about the most complex product you’ve personally designed.
We want to understand your thinking, the decisions you made, and what actually shipped.
We’re particularly interested in designers who have independently owned products, not just individual features.
One designer. Complete ownership. The opportunity to shape the future of human-computer interaction.
