Doctors spend their whole careers staring at badly designed software. We'd like them to start their careers with something beautiful.

Recollia builds AI for medical students and doctors. We're looking for a design engineer: someone with real taste who can also build what they design, quickly and without breaking things, using AI to move faster than a whole team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll design and build the Recollia app, on web and mobile, and every feature we add to it. Some of what's coming: interactive patient cases, an AI tutor, study planning, and recommendations that know what each student needs next.

You'll own the full journey of each feature:

- Understand the problem by talking to students and doctors, not just reading a ticket
- Design it so it looks and feels like nothing else they use
- Build it so it's fast, reliable and works on a mid-range phone on patchy data
- Ship it, watch how people use it, and make it better

You'll also shape how the whole app grows: a design system that makes the tenth feature faster to build than the second, and a product that still feels like one product when there are twenty.

WHO YOU ARE

You have taste

- Your portfolio shows it: typography, spacing, color, motion, the details most people miss
- You can make a screen full of information feel calm
- You know why great apps feel great, and you can explain it

You can build

- TypeScript and React at production level: React Native with Expo for mobile, Next.js for web, or what you've actually shipped
- Smooth animation, accessible interfaces, and code that doesn't fall over when real people use it




- You ship to production yourself

You use AI as a creative partner
- Claude, Cursor and other tools are part of how you design and build every day
- You use them to explore ten directions in an afternoon, then craft the best one by hand
- You know exactly where AI falls short, and that's where your taste comes in

You care about the people using it
- You're curious about how doctors and medical students think, study and work
- You question features, not just pixels: should this exist, and what would make it genuinely practical?

WHERE THIS GOES

This starts as an internship with a stipend of Rs 20,000 and a possible incentive of Rs 5,000 every two weeks, depending on performance. Make Recollia the most beautiful app a medical student opens every day, and it becomes a founding engineer role with equity.

No degree required. Your work speaks for you.

YOU'LL FIT IN HERE IF

- An ugly screen bothers you until you fix it
- You'd rather show a prototype than describe an idea
- You ask for more ownership, not more instructions
- You'll tell us when something is wrong, including our decisions

HOW TO APPLY

Email [email protected] with the subject "Design Engineer" and send us:
- A link to something you designed and built that's live
- Three sentences: what it does, what went wrong along the way, and what you'd do differently
- One screen you design and build for a medical student, on any idea you like, live at a link. Use any tools, AI included, and tell us how long it took.

We read every application that includes all three.
