Key Responsibilities

Design Strategy & Thinking: Lead end-to-end design sprints. You will turn ambiguous business goals into clear problem statements, user-centric journeys, and measurable KPI targets.
Aesthetic Leadership: Raise the visual bar. We are looking for "high-craft" interfaces that are not just functional but beautiful, intentional, and premium.
Token-Based Systems: Architect and own our Design System (Tokens/Variables). You will ensure that our interface components are scalable across web and mobile, allowing for seamless handoffs and rapid iteration.
Cross-Functional Bridge: Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to ensure design specs are implemented with 1:1 precision, leveraging your knowledge of front-end constraints.
AI-Driven Design & Workflow Optimization: Champion the adoption of AI-powered tools to accelerate research, ideation, and prototyping while enhancing design quality.

Expertise & Skills

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Design from a Tier-1 institute (NID, IIT-IDC, NIFT, or Srishti Manipal).
Visual & Experience Mastery: A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product design, design aesthetics, and user-centered innovation.
Systems Thinker: Deep foundational knowledge of token-based design systems. You understand how to manage design variables for color, spacing, and typography across complex SaaS surfaces.
Product Maturity: 2–6 years of experience.
Startup Mindset: Comfortable working in fast-paced and uncertain environments, taking ownership, adapting quickly, and acting decisively to deliver scalable, user-focused solutions.
Tech-Forward: Expert-level Figma skills (Variables, Prototyping) and a habit of using AI tools to optimize your team's workflow.

Logic (UX): You care about the friction in a merchant's flow and the clarity of the journey.
Scale: You build systems, not just screens. You think about 10,000 merchants, not 1.
Aesthetics (UI): You believe that a beautiful interface builds trust and merchant confidence.
Craft: You care about the 4px vs 8px spacing and the subtle "feel" of a transition.
Ownership: If you see a friction point, you fix it without being asked.
