Urgent) Visual Designer

Company Description:

We build AI-powered digital experiences built to perform, adapt, and handle complexity.

Some of our work includes rebuilding Stanford's infrastructure, modernizing UNICEF's global platforms, and winning Splash Awards for our work with Diabetes.org.

We've also supported legal aid organizations, research institutions, and healthcare platforms dealing with legacy sprawl and fragmented systems, and built AI solutions using our orchestration system, Aeldris.

We take on the kind of problems packaged tools don't solve - brittle systems, sprawling content, disconnected UX. Problems that require more than a stack and need thinking.

We're engineers, designers, and product people who care about culture, how things work, and what they solve.

Job Description

Brief:

We're hiring a Visual Designer who understands and can apply the basic principles of design across their work, and who recognizes that, although tools change, the principles remain the same.

We are looking for someone who understands that GenAI is changing how we create and how ideas come together, someone who knows the difference between style and intention, between delivering something and making a difference.

Every design element, every artifact you create, has a reason to exist. We're not looking for decoration; we're looking for concepts and visuals that help communicate a brand and what it stands for.

As a Visual designer, you will need to:

- Turn ideas into visuals that are clear, intentional, and rooted in strong design principles.
- Create, update, and apply brand guidelines across all outputs.
- Create motion graphics, short videos, and micro-interactions using tools like After Effects or Premiere Pro.
- Create videos using AI as an assistant.
- Build templates and scalable, reusable assets that other teams can use independently.
- Design for events and print, from trade show booths to the details that shape the offline experience.
- Work with marketing across campaigns, social, advertising, and collateral.
- Work with UX/UI designers on visual elements, mockups, and screens.
- Create the visual part of the case studies to showcase product and engineering work.
- Use GenAI as part of your workflow where it improves speed or clarity, without replacing the craft.
- Understand that design doesn't stop at the brief. Ask the right questions, and know why you're working on something.
- Understand who the brand is speaking to, where it's showing up, and how the work will be used. You shape the final output with the audience, the context, and the business goal in mind.
- Design with intent. Every output should be worth the effort it takes to create it.

Qualifications and soft skills that matter

- A strong grasp of the design process and visual fundamentals: typography, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy.
- Confidence working in Figma and Illustrator, or whatever helps you bring ideas to life
- Working knowledge of After Effects or Premiere Pro.
- A portfolio that shows range across brands, products, and motion is a bonus. Strong storytelling is a must.
- The ability to take a loose brief or abstract idea and turn it into something clear and usable.
- A basic understanding of UI/UX is helpful but not essential. We'll figure it out together.
- Experience creating short-form content with speed and intent. Agility matters.
- Ask the right questions, challenge vague input, and design with context in mind.
- Care about who you're designing for, not just what you're designing.
- Open to feedback and value the culture and brand you're working with.
- Work across practices.

Nice to have skills:

- Experience working with fast-moving teams.
- Comfort with tight timelines and fast feedback cycles.
- Interest in visual storytelling across formats like short-form video, social design, and motion.
- Exposure to creative work outside design: photography, writing, or storyboarding.
- A genuine interest in how AI is changing the way ideas are formed, shaped, and communicated.

What you'll get

- Time and support to grow your skills.
- People who give feedback directly and with respect.
- People who want to collaborate on doing good work.
- Remote or Hybrid, your choice, you can work from our Pune or Delhi office, but we let you choose by default.
- Benefits, policies, and how we work- is something our people team will walk you through properly.

Apply, show us your work, and let's talk.
