Job summary

Codewalla is seeking a Product Designer to grow into a broader product builder, focusing on AI-native experiences. You will move from problem framing to research, interaction design, prototyping, and production learning, with Figma as a tool, not a boundary.

Join a New York-based company with engineering in India, including a Chennai office launched in 2025. Expect collaboration with global clients, ownership from discovery to launch, and competitive compensation with growth opportunities.

Qualifications

• Proven track record designing and shipping products with strong problem framing.
• Ability to work beyond traditional design boundaries and learn AI coding/prototyping.
• Strong communication with global clients and a balance between taste and evidence.

Responsibilities

• Frame product and user problems with clients, users, PMs, and engineers to identify opportunities.
• Conduct lightweight research, usability testing, analytics, and competitive evidence to guide decisions.
• Hyper-iterate across sketches, Figma, AI interfaces, prototypes, and working software to answer questions quickly.
• Develop AI-enabled interactions and stay close to implementation and production outcomes.
• Design end-to-end experiences across information architecture, interaction, visuals, accessibility, and states.
• Prototype risky assumptions early and remain involved through implementation.
• Build reusable patterns and living design systems to improve team workflow with AI.

Job description

Job Title: Product Designer — AI-native product builder

Experience: 3+ Years

Employment type: Full-time

Location: Chennai (exceptional global candidates may be considered)

Role Overview:

Codewalla is looking for a Product Designer who is becoming a broader product builder: someone with deep design craft who can move from a messy problem to research, working interactions, tested behaviour, implementation, and learning in production. Figma is a tool, not the boundary of the role.

What we look for:

• Deep product-design craft: interaction design, information architecture, visual hierarchy, systems thinking, prototyping, and strong taste.
• A portfolio of implemented and shipped products showing decisions, trade-offs, collaboration, and what happened after release.
• High agency, curiosity, humility, and a builder's instinct; willingness to work beyond traditional design boundaries and master AI coding/prototyping tools.
• Technical fluency to reason about frontend constraints, APIs, data, model behaviour, responsive systems, and implementation trade-offs.
• Strong Figma skills, while knowing when code or working software is the better design medium.
• Clear communication with global clients and the ability to distinguish taste from evidence.

What you will do:

• Frame product and user problems with clients, users, Product Managers, and engineers; turn ambiguity into clear opportunities and testable assumptions.
• Use lightweight research, workflow observation, usability testing, analytics, and competitive evidence to guide product decisions.
• Move between sketches, Figma, AI-generated interfaces, code-based prototypes, and working software—choosing the medium that answers the question fastest.
• Use AI coding and prototyping tools to explore interactions, realistic data, and AI-enabled experiences yourself; stay close to implementation and inspect what ships.
• Design end-to-end experiences across information architecture, interaction, visual hierarchy, responsive behaviour, accessibility, permissions, states, edge cases, and recovery.
• Prototype risky assumptions early, stay involved through implementation, and iterate from production evidence rather than treating handoff as the finish line.
• Build reusable patterns and living design systems; experiment with new AI workflows and improve how the team designs and builds.

Designing AI products:

• Design for probabilistic behaviour: make uncertainty, confidence, provenance, correction, fallback, escalation, and human control understandable where they matter.
• Treat trust, privacy, security, latency, cost, reliability, and accessibility as product constraints.
• Explore conversational, voice, multimodal, and agentic interfaces when appropriate; test AI behaviour across difficult scenarios and partner on evals.
