Bengaluru
Jayanagar, Bengaluru — in office
Type: Full-time
Experience: 1-2 years
Compensation: the posted range is fixed pay; About 100 million unmarried Indian couples don't get to be together most nights. A phone is all they have. So they join a class just to be near each other, or stay on a one-way call, or watch a movie over video. We are building that. Kulfi is a digital experiences app for couples, and close to a million people already use it. Daily users grew 4x in 30 days this summer. 80% of all play happens between 9pm and midnight. Next is an AI personalization engine for games. Every couple gets a recent game every day, made for them on the spot from what they like. Our team already ships a new game in about two days. No couple should run out of things to do together.
Dual Craft: App UI & Game UI/Art
App Surface Design: Design the core mobile experience in Figma—onboarding, couple-pairing flows, home navigation, profile identities, and ambient night-time chat interfaces.
Game UI & In-Game HUDs: Design specialized, tactile interfaces for 2-player micro-games—turn indicators, interactive boards, card layouts, answer reveals, countdown timers, and victory/loss screens.
Visual Art & Thematic Assets: Produce bespoke visual assets, illustrations, avatars, thematic stickers, and expressive game props tailored to intimate couple rituals and 48-hour game drops.
Micro-Interactions & 'Game Feel': Combine visual art with motion, haptics, and particle/celebration effects (Lottie, Rive, or Figma motion) so interactions feel alive, physical, and emotionally rewarding.
Generative Art Engine: Produce production-grade game art, character sets, and backgrounds.
Interactive Prototyping with AI: Use AI tools (Codex,
Claude) to build functional, playable games end-to-end using our in-house SDK.
Provide clean exports, asset slices, tokenized specs, and explicit edge-case states (disconnections, partner inactive, asymmetric screen sizes).
Demonstrated mastery of composition, color theory, stylized 2D art, typography, and visual balance.
Dual Fluent (App + Game): You understand that an app screen demands clarity and low cognitive load, while a game screen demands immersion, tactile feedback, and delight.
Intuition for novel, cozy, and playful aesthetics suitable for late-night mobile interactions.
Obsessive Tool Exploration: You continuously tinker with bleeding-edge visual AI models, plugins, and control nets to push what a 1-person design pod can output.
A rich body of personal creative work—indie games, card game mockups, digital illustration series, custom sticker packs, or concept apps.
Extreme Self-Direction: When an asset is missing or experience is lagging, you fix or report it yourself immediately rather than waiting for an external push or PM spec.
