About the job
GrandWorks is a design and development studio based in Goa, India. We build websites, mobile apps, and digital products for startups, established brands, and government bodies. Our work includes projects for Spotify, OnePlus, United Nations Development Programme, Borosil, and Dagens Opinion. Our flagship app, Abstruct, has crossed 1.5M downloads, and a few of our client relationships are now in their fourth or fifth year.
We're a small senior team that works directly with founders and product leads.
More about our work at grandworks.co
We're hiring a UI/UX Designer to lead product design on web and mobile projects. Almost every GrandWorks engagement starts with design: wireframes, prototypes, design systems, then handoff to development. You'll work directly with clients (founders, product leads) and our developers to take projects from rough idea to launched product.
What you'll do
Design web and mobile interfaces in Figma, from low-fi wireframes to production-ready screens. Build and maintain design systems for client projects (components, tokens, documentation). Run prototyping and lightweight user testing where it makes sense. Work closely with developers during handoff and through implementation. Contribute to brand and visual identity work when a project calls for it.
Ideal background
2+ years designing digital products (web, mobile, or both). Strong Figma skills, including auto-layout, components, and design systems. Portfolio showing real shipped work, not just concept mocks. Comfortable presenting design decisions to clients and pushing back when needed. Bonus: experience with motion design (Lottie / After Effects) or basic front-end (HTML/CSS).
Why work with us?
Design leads every project. Wireframes are the kickoff, not an afterthought bolted on after development starts. Direct client exposure, you'll present to founders and product leads, not through layers of account managers. Developers in-house who'll implement what you design and push back when something won't work, which is more useful than getting your way every time. Variety across SaaS, government portals, mobile apps, and brand identity. No two-year dashboard projects. Work that ends up in your portfolio, not stuck behind an NDA you can't talk about.
