A product design team in Bhopal's Misrod area is hiring a Junior UI/UX Designer, full time, on site. This is an entry-level seat with no prior professional experience required, though the team does expect a portfolio that shows real design thinking, not just polished screens copied from a template site with the colors swapped out.
The role covers the core loop of product design work: creating wireframes and prototypes for digital products, running user research sessions to figure out what people actually struggle with rather than what the team assumes they struggle with, refining designs based on that feedback even when it contradicts an idea you were attached to, and working closely with developers during implementation so a design doesn't quietly lose its intent by the time it ships. That last part trips up a lot of junior designers, since a beautiful Figma file means nothing if it can't survive contact with real engineering constraints.
Required skills are Figma or Adobe XD at a genuinely working level, wireframing, prototyping, user research fundamentals, and a real creative instinct that goes beyond following a design system's existing patterns. The team wants to see evidence of original thinking in your portfolio, even in a small project, rather than only derivative work.
A bachelor's degree in design, human-computer interaction, or a related field is expected, along with a solid grasp of user-centered design principles and comfort with prototyping tools. The design lead has said in past interviews that a portfolio with three well-explained projects, including the reasoning behind key decisions, beats a portfolio with ten projects that all look similar and get no explanation.
Misrod has become a growing pocket of Bhopal's IT scene over the past several years, and the design team here works across three product lines simultaneously, which keeps a junior designer's work varied rather than locked into refining the same three screens for months on end. Rotation across products happens roughly every quarter for junior team members specifically, as a deliberate way to build breadth early in someone's career.
Naukri Mitra has posted UI/UX roles from this employer before, and past hires consistently mention how much design critique happens here compared to other junior design roles they've held. Critique sessions run weekly, with the whole design team present, and junior designers present their own work in that room from the first month rather than being shielded from feedback until they feel ready.
Interviews include a portfolio review and a short design exercise done live, working through a small problem with the design lead watching your process rather than just the output. Candidates who talk through their reasoning out loud, including dead ends they considered and rejected, tend to interview better than those who present only the final polished screen.
Growth from this seat usually leads toward an associate designer title within a year, taking ownership of a full product area rather than individual screens within someone else's project. A couple of current mid-level designers on the team started in an almost identical junior role and made that jump within fourteen months of joining, largely by taking initiative on research instead of waiting for it to be assigned.
Design tooling here is standardized around a shared component library that every product line pulls from, so a junior designer's first real contribution often isn't a flashy new screen but a small, well-considered addition to that shared system. It's less glamorous than greenfield design work, but past hires say it taught them more about consistency and edge cases than any single feature project could have on its own.
This role is based at Misrod, Bhopal, pin code 461116, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹38,500 a month. The team is hoping to onboard someone within the next four weeks, ahead of a product line launch already on the roadmap.
