Freelance Product Designer

Job Title: Freelance Product Designer

Location: Hyderabad Mandatory (for in-person collaboration when needed)

Engagement: Freelance / Contract (2–3 Months)

About the Role

We are a stealth-mode AI startup building what we believe will be the world’s smartest recruitment platform — one that redefines how companies discover, evaluate, and hire talent using AI, data intelligence, and deeply human-centric design.

We’re looking for a Freelance Product Designer who can take full ownership of designing the end-to-end MVP experience — UX flows, UI, components, brand direction, and high-fidelity prototypes.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in 0→1 product environments, can think strategically, and execute with exceptional speed and clarity.

What You’ll Work On

1. Core Product Experience

• Define user journeys for recruiters, candidates, and internal workflows.
• Convert rough problem statements into clear UX flows and wireframes.
• Design intuitive dashboards, workflows, and interaction models for AI-driven hiring.

2. UI Design & Visual Systems

• Create a modern, minimal, global-quality UI library and design system.
• Build high-fidelity screens for web (and optionally mobile).
• Establish consistent visual identity across product surfaces.

3. Prototyping & Collaboration

• Produce interactive prototypes for engineering handoff and testing.
• Work closely with founders and early engineers to iterate quickly.
• Suggest UX simplifications and product experience improvements proactively.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 2–6+ years of experience in Product / UI/UX design (preferably SaaS or AI products)
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design work
• Ability to translate complex AI-driven workflows into clean, elegant UX
• Experience designing dashboards, multi-step workflows, and data-heavy interfaces
• High-speed execution with attention to detail
• Comfortable working in scrappy, iterative, fast-paced environments

Great-to-Have

• Experience with B2B SaaS, HRTech, or AI/ML-based products
• Familiarity with design systems (e.g., Figma, AutoLayout, Component Libraries)
• Understanding of candidate/recruiter workflows or HR tools
• Ability to conceptualize motion design / micro-interactions
• Available for occasional in-person sessions (Hyderabad/Bengaluru)

What You’ll Love About This Role

• Ownership of the entire MVP experience
• Ability to shape the visual DNA of a global AI-first platform
• Fast execution, quick feedback loops, and direct founder collaboration
• Your work will define how thousands of companies hire in the future
• Opportunity to extend into long-term design partnership
