01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

EduRankAI ships products that need to feel as considered as the research behind them. Design here means making the interfaces our ventures expose — tutoring, ranking methodology, applicant flows — clear, honest, and intentional. No dark patterns, no padding the UI with stock animations to hide thin thinking. We are looking for designers who can hold a strong visual point of view AND own product flows end to end. About this role: Design Lead — up to ₹48 LPA. Full-Time, 8 hours per day. Part-time options are available — see the Career page for details. For any queries, reach out to us at hr@edurankai.in.
