Are you a design graduate looking to kickstart your career with a growing team? A client of SCHS is currently looking for a creative Junior UI/UX Designer to join their office in Pune on a hybrid model.
Role Overview
This role is built for designers who love to solve problems through visual storytelling. You will be working directly with product managers and developers to shape digital experiences from the ground up. Whether it is wireframing a complex flow or refining the pixel-perfect mockups for a mobile app, your work will be at the heart of their product innovation.
The team works on a hybrid schedule, meaning you will be in the office on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is a great balance for those who enjoy collaborative whiteboard sessions alongside the focus time that remote work provides.
Key Eligibility & Requirements
The team is looking for specific design talent that understands modern UI/UX principles. Here is what they want to see:
- Experience: You should have at least 1+ years of hands-on industry experience.
- Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Design (B.Des/BFA) is preferred. They are particularly interested in candidates from institutions like NID, IIT Design Schools, MIT-ID, SID, NIFT (Fashion Communication), Srishti Manipal, or ISDI.
- Design Toolkit: You must be fluent in Figma. Familiarity with other tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Axure is a huge plus.
- Portfolio: You need a strong portfolio that demonstrates your process—think wireframes, prototypes, and user-centered design methodology.
- Technical Basics: A solid understanding of responsive design and basic HTML/CSS will help you communicate better with the engineering team.
Why This Role Matters
In the current market, finding a role that balances creative autonomy with mentorship is rare. You will not just be “drawing screens”; you will be conducting usability tests, keeping design systems organized, and staying ahead of design trends. If you are passionate about interaction design and information architecture, this is a solid place to sharpen your skills.
