The Short Story
We're Canvas — a lean, efficient AI research and product lab that's been deep in the Consumer AI space for the last three years. We build multiple consumer-facing AI apps, and we operate more like an R&D lab than a traditional startup: small team, high ownership, zero fluff.
Our team is Ex–IIT Delhi, with experience leading strategy and engineering at world-class firms. We've been quietly shipping products, learning what works, and now we're ready to go bigger.
We're looking for a Product Designer to join us and shape the next generation of consumer AI apps we're building. This isn't a support role — you'll be working directly with the CEO and one of the best tech minds in the space, collaborating hands-on to define what these products look and feel like.
If you're obsessed with Mobile UX, love the chaos of 0-to-1 building, and want to design interfaces for intelligence, not just data — keep reading.

The Mission
Most AI products today feel like 'tools.' We want to build companions.
We're moving beyond simple chatbots. We're designing consumer experiences that anticipate needs and simplify complex workflows. Your job is to make sophisticated AI backends feel invisible, intuitive, and delightful on a mobile screen — across multiple products.

What You'll Do
Own the Mobile

Experience:

This is a hard requirement. You aren't shrinking a desktop site to mobile; you're designing natively for iOS/Android. You think in gestures, haptics, thumb zones, and bottom sheets.
Shape Multiple Products:
We're not building one app. You'll be involved in shaping the UX across the suite of consumer AI products Canvas is creating.
Define AI Interaction Patterns:
How does a user interact with an AI that 'thinks' You'll design the affordances, loading states, and feedback loops that build trust between the human and the AI.
Prototype at Warp Speed:
In a lean team, speed is survival. You'll turn abstract ideas into tangible wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes (Figma) to test hypotheses — fast.
Work Directly with Leadership:
No layers. You'll sit with the CEO and the tech lead, debating and defending design decisions with logic and user empathy.

Who You Are
The

Experience:

3–6 years of product design experience, with a heavy portfolio focus on Mobile Consumer Apps. (SaaS dashboards are great, but we need someone who understands consumer psychology.)
The Tooling:
You breathe Figma. You're organized with your design systems but flexible enough to break the rules when innovation requires it.
The 'AI' Curiosity:
You don't just design static screens; you're curious about how GenAI works and how to design for dynamic content.
The Mindset:
You're comfortable with ambiguity. In a lab environment, requirements shift, new products spin up, pivots happen — and you thrive in that.

Why You Should Join
The Team: A small, elite group — IIT Delhi alumni with backgrounds at top consulting and tech firms. Three years in, we know what we're doing. Now we're scaling what works.
The Access:
You're not reporting to a middle manager. You're working directly with the CEO and core tech team. Your voice shapes the product.
The Impact:
Your fingerprints will be on every consumer AI product Canvas puts out. This is founding-level influence.
The Compensation: ₹24–30 LPA. We value top talent and pay accordingly.
