Visual Designer I

About The Team

A Visual Designer’s role involves a lot of creativity, quirkiness, and user understanding.

As a Visual Designer, these skills you will bring to a team solving a unique problem, one that’s mostly untouched by other e-commerce players. We are making e-commerce accessible for Tier-2+ markets who are new to e-commerce and have rarely transacted online.

Our Design team is as diverse as our users. Today, the team comprises about 30 Designers -- including Interaction, Visual, Motion, and Content Designers.

But wait, there’s more! We’re individuals who are obsessed with our users. We empathize. We solve at grassroots levels. We are breaking all the barriers -- be it language, literacy, culture, or technology.

This year we created a brand new Design System followed by a full app revamp - all in just 3 months! It’s hardly a coincidence that our monthly orders improved by 2.5x in the last six months.

About The Role

If you love creative visualization & have a knack for storytelling, you may be our next Visual Designer!

As a Visual Designer I, you will ensure consistency and quality of visual communication across all our products by using and shaping our Design System.
