About the Role

VINDA is looking for a Senior Founding Product Designer who can take full ownership of the product design function — from defining the design direction to guiding junior designers and interns.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly with the Founder to translate product vision into world-class design.

• Lead and mentor a small team of interns, managing tasks, reviewing work, and ensuring design consistency.

• Make high-impact decisions that shape the future of our product from zero to one.

This is not a typical design role — it is an opportunity to build, influence, and own major parts of the design ecosystem in a fast-paced early-stage startup.

What You’ll Do

🎨 Lead Product Design

• Design intuitive user experiences from wireframes to polished high-fidelity interfaces.

• Define and maintain the design system, UI components, and visual standards.

• Create prototypes, interaction flows, and user journeys.

👥 Collaborate & Execute

• Work closely with the founder for product scoping, concept validation, and iterative design.

• Partner with developers for clear, efficient handoff and implementation.

🧑‍🏫 Lead, Mentor & Manage

• Allocate tasks to interns and junior designers.

• Review and refine their work to maintain quality and consistency.

• Provide constructive feedback and guide them through design best practices.

What We’re Looking For

✔ Senior-Level Design Expertise

• Strong proficiency in UI/UX fundamentals, usability principles, prototyping, and design systems.

• A portfolio that reflects clarity, creativity, strong visual sense, and problem-solving.

• Ability to independently drive design decisions end-to-end.

✔ Leadership & Collaboration

• Experience managing or guiding junior designers/interns is a strong plus.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work smoothly in a remote environment.

✔ Mindset & Culture Fit

• Curiosity to experiment with new tools and AI-assisted design workflows.

• Passion for building user-centered products from scratch.

• A founder-like mindset: accountability, ownership, and long-term commitment.

💼 Compensation & Benefits

• Equity / ESOPs after successful probation (performance-based).

• No stipend during the 3-month probation.

• Direct collaboration with the founder & core team.

• Autonomy, creative freedom, and the chance to define the product’s design culture.

• Fast-track opportunity for a full-time founding team offer.

• Work on a meaningful problem with real impact in the Agritech ecosystem.
