UI/UX Design Intern

About

Who We Are

Zepcruit is an AI-powered hiring intelligence platform built out of Pune. We help companies stop guessing and start hiring with data — CV ranking, AI-proctored interviews, psychometric profiling, and predictive scoring, all in one place. We're bootstrapped, early, and growing. No VC cushion, no safety net — hence every decision you take, every implementation you work on will impact the top line and the bottom line.

If you want your work to ship to real users in your first month — not sit in a Figma file waiting for someone's approval — read on.

The Role

You'll be the person responsible for how Zepcruit feels to every candidate, recruiter, and HR leader who touches our platform. This is not a make it pretty role. This is a design is the product role.

You'll work directly with the founder and product team. No layers. No waiting for approvals to chain through five people.

•User research — interviews, usability testing, translating insights into design decisions

•Design system — building and maintaining components, tokens, and usage guidelines

•Collaboration with developers to ensure pixel-accurate implementation

•Iterate based on real usage data, not assumptions

What We're Looking For in You

• A portfolio: No portfolio = no conversation. Show us real work, case studies, or even personal projects. We care about your thinking more than the final screens.

• Curiosity: You should be the kind of person who screenshots UI patterns you like and has opinions about why they work.

• Speed: Startups move fast. If you need three weeks to produce a wireframe, this isn't the right place.

• Ownership: You'll be trusted with real product decisions. Act like it.

What You Get

• Internship stipend (discussed on selection)

• Direct mentorship from the founder

• Real product work — your designs will go live

• A front-row seat to how an AI SaaS startup is built

• Letter of recommendation + performance-based pre-placement offer (PPO) for top performers
