About Us

MECHANON is a Dubai-based venture studio that builds and incubates businesses from concept, with teams across Bangalore, Dubai and London. We're not an agency, a consultancy, or an outsourcing company, we build real businesses and therefore need from scratch builders. Our current focus is The Engine: a production intelligence platform for film and television.

The Role

We're hiring our first Product Designer to help build a modern SaaS platform from the ground up. Basically, a zen master designer, should that exist. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role: you'll take our existing product concepts and turn them into beautiful seamless designs. This is a builder role for someone who thinks in flows and structure, designs, and wants to see their work shipped quickly by a small, fast-moving team. You'll work closely with our Platform Engineering Lead and the founder, and your designs will be built directly into the product by a dedicated Front-End Engineer joining shortly after you.

What you'll do

• Design end-to-end user experiences for a modern SaaS platform
• Turn written product specifications into wireframes, user flows, and screen-by-screen designs
• Own the visual design system, typography, colour, components, across every part of the platform
• Design our core app pages, our conversion/paywall experience, and our public-facing marketing pages
• Keep the design system consistent as new pages and features are added
• Work directly with engineering to make sure what you design is what gets built

What we're looking for

• 2+ years designing digital products, SaaS platforms or complex web applications
• Real, shipped UX/UI design experience with live products, not just concept work
• Comfort designing both flow/structure (UX) and finished visual design (UI), this role covers both
• Strong, clear communication and the ability to explain design decisions simply
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and direct founder feedback
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, Bangalore, this is a fully on-site role

Skills & Tools

• Strong wireframing, user flow, and information architecture skills
• Strong visual/UI design skills, typography, colour, componentry, layout
• Figma fluency, Auto Layout, Variables/design tokens, component libraries, and Dev Mode (or equivalent) for handoff
• Comfort designing in reusable, component-based systems
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and responsive design across desktop, tablet, and mobile
• Real experience designing conversion-critical flows, paywalls, checkout, trial-to-paid upgrades, or signup funnels
• Real experience designing complex, information-dense interfaces clearly, dashboards, admin tools, analytics products, catalogues, or search/filter-heavy apps
• Ability to create clean, developer-ready Figma files, interaction notes, responsive states, empty states, loading states, and edge cases
• Familiarity with product analytics concepts, activation, conversion, retention, funnels, feature usage
• Experience or strong interest in designing AI-assisted workflows, search interfaces, filters, recommendation systems, or chat-style product experiences
• Ability to create practical prototypes in Figma to explain user flows, interactions, navigation, paywall moments, search/filter behaviour, and key product states before engineering implementation

Nice to Have

• Experience designing AI products or AI-powered workflows
• Experience with B2B and B2C SaaS platforms
• Familiarity with data-heavy interfaces
• Experience working with React or modern frontend teams
• Motion and interaction design experience
• Experience working as an early designer in a startup
• Understanding of growth design and conversion optimisation

What doesn't suit this role

• Purely conceptual or award-driven portfolio work with no real shipping experience
• Preference for slow, heavily-processed design review cycles
• Remote or hybrid working, we're a small, in-person team by design
