About the Role:

We are looking for someone with the following qualities:

• 6+ years of experience in software product design. Working on consumer products would be an additional advantage. BTW, fintech does not earn you extra brownie points, but we certainly don’t mind it.
• An obsession to create intuitive and beautiful products and experiences. We will require a portfolio of work to judge this. But don’t worry, we won’t judge your designer OCD.
• An expert at your craft. This means you can endlessly argue about the relative merits of
• Figma, Sketch, and XD and know exactly how to create super cool micro-interactions using Principle, AfterEffects, and ProtoPie.
• A collaborative team player who can work well with Product, Engineering, Business, and CX teams to ensure that everyone is aligned with the design vision.
• You should have shipped products and if they have done well you should know why. But if they have not done well, we expect you to be able to lecture people on how to avoid the pitfalls.
• You should have the ability to talk business. And no, we do not expect you to wear a suit.

Here’s what you will do in this role:

• Creating fantastic products starts with obsessing about the ‘Why’ and backing it up with a solid understanding of user needs and behavior. So do expect a lot of good quality
• heated discussions and we want someone who is able to walk up to a whiteboard (or online board) and sketch out ideas and solutions.
• These ideas and solutions would need to be built into robust user flows that would take
• care of every conceivable use case and condition.
• Flows are nothing if they are not translated into screens that are consistent, intuitive but
• at the same time factor in delight.
• Finally working with the Product and Engineering teams to bring the designs into reality
• is a crucial part of the designer’s journey.
• However, a designer’s journey does not end there. We are looking at
• designers who are obsessed with numbers and can track both growth and usability
• issues just by looking at the numbers.
