Founding Designer - UI/UX

Who are we?

We are building The Search Engine for Offline. Want to find dentists in your area for an appointment in the afternoon? We will find one. Want to see if there are restaurants that serve vegan and Japanese cuisine? We will hunt for one. Too busy to cook? Need to ensure the cafe down your street has a sandwich and coffee ready for you to take? We will make the call.

We are building Gen-AI based agentic systems that can search & filter options available anywhere in the world on behalf of consumers. We observe that even though 90% of all commerce is done offline, there is a huge gap of information in the offline commerce vs online. There is a huge cost of time and effort for the consumers currently to bridge the gap. We think GenAI can collect this data at scale in no-time on behalf of the consumers.

We are building these “GenAI wrappers” and orchestrating them to offer consumers a means to instantly find what they want AND suppliers the visibility they never got otherwise.

Our mission is ambitious, and our product is at the cutting edge of AI. To achieve this, we need a team that is not just skilled, but deeply invested in the mission.

We believe everyone gets one or two opportunities in their life to build their life’s work. We think this is ours and want to work with people who are willing to grab it and make it theirs too! Aurora AI is ran by second time founders (Mehul & Shyam), who like to work hard, party hard. If you love a no BS culture and wanna work in an environment, that feels like college, come join us.

What are we looking for?

Through this position, we are looking to find a Founding Designer who can design and create the main consumer app of Aurora AI

For this position we are looking for people who:

• Have 1-4 years of experience in Product Design
• Well-versed with User Interviews
• Are familiar with GenAI and related design tools: Figma Make, Google Stitch etc.
• Have built design language from scratch for Companies in the past
• Have led UI/UX for consumer-facing apps in the past
• Are quick to implement and iterate without compromising quality in design and user experience
• Have the ability to adapt to constantly evolving requirements and goals

While the above requirements are a must-have for this role, we think the following qualities are good-to-have:

• Have been a founder or a founding designer before
• Good at UX Writing skills
• Have owned product conversion & retention funnels before
• Come from a Non-Design background, but switched to Design

What will you get to do?

As a startup in its inception stage with a small team, the roles are often flexible with an opportunity to explore and contribute in different aspects of the company. As a founding designer, we expect you to take in the following responsibilities but are free to contribute to anything else as per your interest:

• Design, create and improve the main app/product of the company
• Interview users globally to understand their pain points and improvements
• Interact & collaborate with the Devepment team to ensure your vision comes to life
• Own & solve for the Retention & Conversion funnels using Design as a lever.

Location and Culture

We work out of HSR Layout, Bangalore. We strive to maintain a flat hierarchy within the team and a “no corporate BS” dynamic. We work hard, we party hard. We have a fully work from office DNA - we prefer people talking to each other and resolving issues in real-time instead of a backlog of emails or texts to get back to when available. While we embrace the hustle culture required for our mission, we like to chill and relax on the weekends, we often plan random team outings and events.
