Job description

What's the role?

At Jar, design drives impact. Join a growth stage company at the forefront of fintech innovation in India, empowering millions to build financial literacy and saving habits. This isn't just about crafting interfaces; it's about solving real problems for a vast and diverse user base.

At Nek, design shapes how India discovers, trusts, and buys jewellery online. Built within the Jar ecosystem, Nek is making fine jewellery more accessible through 925 silver, lab‑grown diamonds, and gold coins. This isn’t just about creating beautiful visuals; it’s about simplifying purchase decisions and building meaningful, occasion‑led experiences for millions of users.

Responsibilities

• Own the End-to-End Lifecycle: You'll own the end-to-end design lifecycle, driving our product from concept to launch and iteration. Maintain full accountability for your work, ensuring every detail is meticulously refined and delivered to the highest standards.
• Lead with Behavioral Insights: Proactively identify challenges and devise data‑backed, intuitive solutions. Instead of replicating competitor designs, you will leverage user behavior data, UX design laws, and active user testing to pioneer entirely new user behaviors that naturally influence users to make the right purchase choices.
• Advance the Experience: Translate complex needs into clear, high‑fidelity UI and meticulous user flows for diverse use cases.
• Evolve the Ecosystem: Create a unified UI, integrating with and evolving our design system to ensure strong brand identity and a delightful app experience.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Partner closely with product, data analysts, engineering, and business teams to deliver practical, impactful designs that enhance UX and achieve key metrics.
• Innovate & Optimize: Continuously find creative, optimal solutions to tasks, enhancing user experience while aligning with business goals.

Qualifications

• Proven Track Record: 3+ years of experience in proposing and building an end-to-end product feature or an experience which went live on a web or native platform. You must have successfully navigated and executed this level of product ownership multiple times in your previous professional adventures.
• Visual & UI Excellence: A clear sense and taste for UI design with strong knowledge of Material Design and Human Interface Guidelines. You must possess a strong understanding of design fundamentals, including UI design patterns, components, and interactions, with essential Figma proficiency.
• Motion Design Skills (Mandatory): Familiarity with motion design tools like Protopie, Rive, Jitter, or After Effects, and an eye for trending designs. Motion design is a critical requirement for this role to elevate the product experience.
• Strategic & Analytical Mindset: Ability to apply intuitive design to user problems, taking a structured approach to gauge outcomes and continuously seeking to enhance the experience.
• User Empathy & Innovation: Deep empathy for users and for Jar's mission, alongside a consistent ability to bring questions back to what will best serve our users. Bring a zeal for out-of-the-box ideas specific to Jar that enhance the user experience, potentially leading to industry-first solutions.
• Adaptability & Leadership: Ability to thrive in a lean sprint environment, demonstrating strong ownership and collaboration while navigating ambiguity and bringing clarity. You must be self-driven, show an ability to take lead and solve things, and continuously work towards self-education and cross-functional networking.
• Cultural & Occasion Fluency: Design for how India buys jewellery—festival and gifting-led, built around occasions like Diwali and weddings. You'll shape experiences for a largely tier 2–4, vernacular-first audience, designing for the emotion behind these purchases and building credibility into every step.
