About Upstox
At Upstox, we’re building the future of investing — simple, powerful, and for everyone. We're one of India’s fastest-growing fintech platforms, backed by the best in the business, including Mr. Ratan Tata and Tiger Global, and on a mission to make wealth creation accessible to every Indian. From first-time investors to seasoned traders, millions trust us to power their financial journeys.
We're not just moving fast — we’re moving with purpose. If you thrive in a high-energy, high-impact environment, you're in the right place.
The Role: Lead– Product Designer
As a Lead Product Designer, you’ll be the craft leader driving design excellence across our fintech experiences. This role is a senior individual contributor track — no people management, but very high influence. You’ll own some of the most complex and strategic design challenges, shaping intuitive, elegant solutions that scale across millions of users.
This is about setting the bar for design quality at Upstox — leading by example, pushing boundaries of craft, and ensuring design stays central to how we build products.
What You’ll Own
End-to-End Design Ownership: Lead discovery, ideation, and delivery for high-impact fintech product areas.
Design Systems Leadership: Build and evolve a scalable, cross-platform design system to ensure consistency and speed.
Craft Pixel-Perfect Solutions: Translate user needs, research, and strategy into beautiful, functional designs.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with product, engineering, marketing, and compliance teams.
Measure & Iterate: Define design KPIs, validate impact with analytics & feedback, and continuously refine.
Design Evangelism: Influence stakeholders and embed design thinking throughout the product lifecycle.
Who You Are
7+ years of product design experience, ideally in consumer-tech, fintech, or large-scale platforms.
A strong portfolio showing conceptual thinking + hands-on execution of complex, user-facing products.
Expert in Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, and design system management.
Deep knowledge of user-centered design, accessibility, and compliance standards.
Exceptional communicator who explains design rationale with clarity and influence.
Self-directed, adaptable, and energized by solving ambiguous, high-impact problems.
Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, or related field preferred.
Why This Role Rocks
Directly influence the experience of millions of investors and traders in India.
Be a senior IC — lead design at the highest levels without people management responsibilities.
Work closely with founders, product, and engineering leadership on strategic initiatives.
Shape and scale a world-class design system and elevate design culture.
Join a design-driven organization where craft is central to trust, adoption, and success.
