Fractional senior product designer

Role : Fractional Senior Product Designer – AI-Native

Location: Hyderabad

Engagement: Freelance / Fractional

Experience: 5–10 Years

Work Mode: Hybrid – Weekly in-person collaboration required

About the Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to work with us on a fractional/freelance basis. You will work closely with our Product and Engineering teams to design intuitive, scalable and AI-native products. This is an opportunity for a designer who enjoys ownership, ambiguity and rapid product development.

Key Responsibilities

Own product design end-to-end — from problem definition to shipped product. Design intuitive experiences for complex enterprise/B2 B workflows. Create user journeys, workflows, wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity UI. Build and evolve design systems, components and reusable patterns. Rapidly explore and prototype multiple design solutions. Work closely with Product and Engineering to shape product direction and implementation. Conduct design reviews and continuously improve product quality.

AI-Native Design – Core Requirement

Use AI extensively as part of your everyday design workflow. Apply AI for research, ideation, UX exploration, UI design, prototyping, design systems and design-to-code. Experience with tools such as Chat GPT, Claude, Figma AI/Figma Make, Cursor, v0, Lovable, Framer AI or equivalent. Demonstrate how AI has made you significantly faster and more effective as a designer. We are looking for someone who actively experiments with AI rather than simply using it for content generation.

Required Experience

5–10 years of Product Design / UX / UI experience. Strong experience with B2 B, Enterprise, Saa S or complex digital products. Strong UX, interaction and visual design skills. Advanced Figma and prototyping skills. Experience building design systems and component libraries. Strong product thinking and ability to work independently. Proven ability to collaborate closely with Product and Engineering.

Hyderabad – Mandatory

Must currently be based in Hyderabad. Must be comfortable working in a fractional/freelance engagement. Should be available to meet our team in person at least once every week for short discussions, product walkthroughs and design reviews. Additional in-person sessions may be required during critical design phases.

Portfolio – Mandatory

Strong product design portfolio with 3–5 relevant case studies. At least one case study should demonstrate meaningful use of AI in the design process. Portfolio should demonstrate UX thinking + UI craft + systems thinking + shipped product experience.

Not a Fit If

Your experience is primarily graphic, branding or marketing design. You primarily execute screens from predefined requirements. You have limited product ownership. You have little hands-on experience using AI in your design workflow. You are based outside Hyderabad or cannot commit to weekly in-person interaction.

If you are a strong Product Designer who uses AI to dramatically accelerate how you research, think, prototype and design — we'd love to work with you.
