Product at Nila
We're building Nila to help families across the world care for their loved ones back home. We’ve seen strong early demand, and now we need a thoughtful, fast-moving designer to help us bring our product to life.
As the first Product Designer at Nila, your job is simple: build intuitive, elegant, and empathetic user experiences for families abroad and caregivers in India. You’ll work directly with our engineers and founders to take ideas from idea to shipped, someone who can help us turn Nila into a product families love and caregivers trust.
This is a high-impact, high-ownership role. You’ll shape how our product looks and feels, define our design system, and make critical UX decisions that affect real people. You’ll also play a key role in shaping our product culture from day one.
If you care deeply about users, like moving fast, and want to build something meaningful from the ground up, this is for you.
️ What You’ll Do
- Own the end-to-end design process: research, wireframe, prototype, test, and ship
- Craft intuitive, empathetic experiences for both diaspora families and caregivers in India
- Collaborate closely with engineers to bring features to life quickly and beautifully
- Create and maintain a scalable design system across web and mobile - mechanising the design to engineering process and removing decision fatigue for engineers building front ends.
- Obsess over usability, simplicity, and clarity in every user flow
- Use data, feedback, and instinct to iterate fast and improve UX
- Work with Growth to test and refine onboarding, conversion, and engagement flows
- Help shape Nila’s visual identity and design culture from the ground up
