Senior UI UX Designer

Job description

Job Title: Senior UI/UX Designer Location: Vashi, Navi Mumbai (On-site) Experience Required: 5+ years CTC Range: INR 8-10 LPA Employment Type: Full-time Level: Senior — owns design end-to-end and leads a team of ~5 designers

About Arcitech AI Arcitech AI is an AI-native software and automation company building a portfolio of AI-driven SaaS products at scale. Design is central to how our products are understood, trusted, and adopted. We are looking for a senior designer who can design end-to-end across our products, work at the speed of a fast-moving product company, and raise the bar for everyone around them.

About the Role This is a senior, hands-on UI/UX design role for someone who is genuinely strong across the entire design spectrum — both UX (research, flows, information architecture, usability) and UI (visual craft, design systems, interaction detail). You will own design end-to-end for products and features across our SaaS portfolio, from problem through to polished, production-ready interface and developer handoff. This is a senior role that combines hands-on design with team leadership. You will be the most experienced designer in the room, set the quality standard through your own work, and manage a team of around five designers — owning their output, priorities, growth, and quality of work. You will still design directly; this is a hands-on leader role, not a pure management seat. You should be comfortable in a high-paced IT / product environment, able to juggle multiple products, and self-directed enough to drive design without hand-holding.

Key Responsibilities End-to-End Product Design • Own the full design process across products: research, flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final UI. • Conduct user research and usability testing, and turn findings into clear design decisions. • Design pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces for web and mobile, to a senior standard. • Make and defend design decisions based on user needs and product goals. Design Systems & Craft Standard • Build and maintain design systems, component libraries, and standards across products. • Set and hold the visual and interaction quality bar — your work is the reference others follow. • Drive consistency across a portfolio of products, not just individual screens.

Team Leadership & Collaboration • Manage a team of around five designers — set priorities, review work, hold the quality bar, and support their growth.

• Partner closely with product managers and developers for clean handoff and faithful implementation. • Collaborate with the brand / marketing team to keep product and brand aligned. • Balance your own hands-on design work with leading the team, at pace, across multiple products.

Required Skills & Experience • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on UI/UX / product design, with a strong portfolio that proves depth • Full-spectrum UI/UX: genuinely strong across both UX (research, flows, IA, usability) and UI (visual craft, design systems, interaction) — not specialized in only one side • IT / product background: experience designing software / SaaS / digital products in an IT or product company • Fast-paced environment: proven ability to deliver quality in a high-paced, multi-project setting • Tools: advanced Figma (mandatory); plus Adobe XD / Sketch / Framer as relevant • Design systems: real experience building and maintaining design systems and component libraries • Team leadership: experience managing or leading a design team of around five — setting priorities, reviewing work, and developing designers • Communication: clear communicator who can present and defend design decisions to product and engineering

Nice to Have • Working knowledge of graphic design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva) for supporting visual assets — a plus, not a requirement. • Experience designing for AI-driven products (chat, agents, AI-output states). • Familiarity with AI design tools (Figma AI, Uizard, Galileo, or similar). • Basic understanding of front-end constraints (components, responsive behaviour, HTML/CSS) for clean handoff.

The Ideal Candidate • Is a senior, full-spectrum product designer — equally strong at UX thinking and UI craft. • Comes from an IT / product / SaaS background and thrives in a fast-paced environment. • Sets the quality bar through their own work and leads a small design team. • Is self-directed, owns design across multiple products, and delivers without hand-holding. • Can balance hands-on design with managing and growing a team of around five.

Portfolio Requirement A strong portfolio is required — applications without one will not be reviewed. We want to see senior-level work that shows both your UX thinking (the problem, research, and decisions) and your UI craft (the final, polished interface). Relevant SaaS / product / AI work will stand out. Be prepared to walk us through one or two projects in depth. Hiring Process Our process focuses on real design ability: portfolio review → an initial HR conversation → a practical design assignment (which you will present and defend) → a panel discussion with the product and engineering teams. The emphasis throughout is on your portfolio and the assignment — the actual work.

Why Join Arcitech AI • Own design end-to-end across real AI-native SaaS products — senior scope and real impact. • Lead and shape the design team as the function scales. • Work in a fast-moving product company that takes design seriously. • Collaborative environment with Provident Fund and employee benefits.
