Design and iterate on UI/UX for a consumer mobile app used by thousands of college students. Own the design process from concept to implementation, working closely with product managers and engineers.

About the Company

Viral Fission is a dynamic startup building Vi-Fi, a consumer mobile app purpose-built for college students in India. With a deep-rooted understanding of youth culture and digital habits, the company focuses on creating an app that feels natural, engaging, and truly native to its audience. The team is collaborative, immersed in how students interact with platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube, ensuring every design decision is backed by real user behavior. At Viral Fission, you won't just design in a vacuum — you'll have direct access to app store reviews, in-app feedback, analytics, and user interviews, giving you a genuine front-row seat to how the product evolves. This is an environment where curiosity is encouraged, and product thinking is valued just as much as pixel-perfect screens.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Junior UI/UX Product Designer to take ownership of the end-to-end design experience for the Vi-Fi app. You'll work on everything from early concept wireframes to high-fidelity UI, covering onboarding flows, core features, and post-launch improvements. This role is ideal for someone with 0–1 year of experience — including internships or strong college project work — who is ready to have real impact on a live product used by thousands of college students. You'll partner closely with product managers and engineers, staying involved through the entire build cycle, not just handing off files. Your designs will be data-informed, and you'll continuously iterate based on how the app is actually being used.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Iterate: Create and refine UI/UX across the Vi-Fi app — from onboarding to core flows and new features — moving from concept through to shipped screens.
• Translate Requirements: Turn product briefs into wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups using Figma.
• Build a Design System: Develop and maintain a consistent component library and design system so the app feels coherent as it scales.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers and developers throughout the implementation cycle, ensuring design fidelity and solving issues as they arise.
• Analyze User Behavior: Dig into app store reviews, in-app feedback, analytics, and user interviews to spot friction points and propose fixes.
• Iterate Post-Launch: Continuously improve existing screens and flows, not just design net-new features.
• Sketch & Prototype: Quickly draft wireframes or interactive prototypes to pressure-test ideas before investing in full visual design.
• Stay Youth-Centric: Keep a pulse on how young people in India actually use apps — their habits, platforms, and expectations — so Vi-Fi remains authentic and engaging.

Tech Stack

• Primary Design Tool: Figma (including prototyping capabilities)
• Design Systems & Libraries: Component library creation, design tokens, style guides
• Platform Conventions: Mobile-first design, responsive layout, Android (Material Design) and iOS (HIG) UI conventions
• Prototyping: Interactive prototypes in Figma or similar tools
• Nice-to-Have: Basic HTML/CSS, familiarity with product analytics (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude) or A/B testing concepts, exposure to design systems at scale

Salary & Benefits

Estimated Salary: ₹30,000 – ₹50,000 per month (based on industry standards for a junior role in Mumbai with 0–1 year experience; not explicitly stated in the listing)

Additional benefits include real product ownership, direct mentorship from senior leads, and the opportunity to see your work impact thousands of real users.

0–1 years of experience in UI/UX design (internships and strong college projects count). A portfolio demonstrating process and reasoning, ideally with product (app) work. Working proficiency in Figma or similar tools. Strong understanding of mobile-first design, responsive layout, and platform conventions (Android/iOS). Solid grasp of UX fundamentals: information architecture, user flows, usability heuristics. Product thinking and curiosity about user behavior. Strong communication skills to explain and defend design decisions.

Real ownership on a live consumer product used by thousands of college students, direct mentorship from senior product and design leads, front-row seat to product evolution based on user behavior, collaborative team immersed in youth culture.
