About PhonePe
PhonePe is India’s leading digital payments platform with over 280 million registered users. Using PhonePe, users can send and receive money, recharge mobile, DTH, data cards, pay at stores, make utility payments, buy gold, and make investments. PhonePe went live for customers in August 2016 and was the first non-banking UPI app and offered money transfer to individuals and merchants, recharges and bill payments to begin with. In 2017, PhonePe forayed into financial services with the launch of digital gold, providing users with a safe and convenient option to buy 24-karat gold securely on its platform. PhonePe has since launched Mutual Funds and Insurance products like tax-saving funds, liquid funds, international travel insurance, Corona Care, a dedicated insurance product for the COVID-19 pandemic among others.
PhonePe launched its Switch platform in 2018, and today its customers can place orders on over 300 apps including Ola, Myntra, IRCTC, Goibibo, RedBus, Oyo etc. directly from within the PhonePe mobile app. PhonePe is accepted at over 18 million merchant outlets across 500 cities nationally.

We are Design at PhonePe
We are a group of enthusiastic makers who are determined to create a dent in the Fintech Universe. We are comprised of dreamers, artists, designers, writers, inventors and communication experts who are always keenly looking towards building new and innovative products and experiences. We want to make financial services and personal finance as intuitive and inclusive as possible. At the same
time, we want to inspire, provoke and motivate Indian consumers and businesses to embrace digital payments into their lives. This will enable the Indian consumers meet their financial goals and help merchants grow their business more easily. It is our unflinching belief that user focus is what will help us build great products. With great experiences.
Why PhonePe:
At PhonePe our vision is to provide financial inclusion to a billion Indians. Today we have made significant progress on this vision by making digital payments far simpler and ubiquitous than it has ever been. However we wish to make it so easy, safe, and universally accepted that people never feel the need to carry cash or cards again. And not just in Urban India. At PhonePe, our aim to transform the entire Indian landscape so that every Indian, in every corner of the country, makes significant economic progress. Onwards and upwards! That is our goal.
Why PhonePe Design:
- If you are sold on the vision of the company, you may want to consider the design team as a place to make this a reality.
- The design team at PhonePe is a bunch of creative trailblazers who are leading the effort to make a dent in the fintech universe. The design team consists of Product Designers, Visual Designers, Graphic & Motion Designers, and Illustrators who are all engaged in blending art and science into a promising value proposition for our users.
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, at PhonePe 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.
So the question is, do you think the points mentioned above describe you to a tee?
If so, get in touch with us. Not only will you find the work satisfying, you will also be part of one of India’s fastest-growing companies. And together we will be able to build one of the finest bands to have come out of India.
PhonePe. Karte Ja. Badhte Ja.
