Lead User Interface Designer

We're Hiring: UI Lead

Chennai | Full-Time

Good UI is invisible. Great UI is the thing that makes a product feel right — responsive, consistent, considered. That's what you build.

We're looking for a UI Lead to own our UI systems and interaction design craft. You'll design high-fidelity flows, build and maintain component libraries, and ensure every product we ship has consistency and intention behind its interface.

What you'll actually do:

• Design high-fidelity interfaces and interaction patterns across projects
• Own and evolve our design systems — components, tokens, documentation
• Audit and improve UI consistency across the design team's work
• Mentor 2–3 designers on UI thinking, accessibility, and component patterns
• Partner with product and engineering on handoff specs and implementation support
• Lead UI reviews and set standards for interaction quality

Who we're looking for:

• 6–8 years designing user interfaces, ideally across multiple product types
• A portfolio that shows your systems thinking and interaction craft
• Deep knowledge of: component design, design systems, accessibility (WCAG), responsive patterns
• Leadership experience (led reviews, mentored designers on UI craft, owned quality standards)
• Mastery of Figma — you can build, document, and scale in it
• Able to communicate UI decisions clearly to PMs, engineers, and stakeholders
• Growth mindset — excited to develop others and evolve best practices

Why Lollypop:

• Scope: Own the entire UI craft practice — systems, standards, mentorship
• Real problems: Design interfaces for fintech, edtech, deep tech, and impact products
• Support: Work alongside 180+ designers globally; learn from teams that've shipped 50+ awards
• Tools: Figma + modern design stack (no legacy tools getting in your way)
• Growth path: UI Lead → Senior Design Manager or Specialist lead roles
• Autonomy in how you run standards + support from leadership
• Competitive package + benefits + flexibility
