Job description

Four to five years of fintech UX. Own the product surface that small business owners open every morning.

Experience: 5 years Domain: Fintech UX Location: Navi Mumbai Reports to: Engineering Lead Compensation: ₹20 LPA + equity

Lending software is hard. Most of it looks it. We do not want that. At Nexo you will own the product surface — corporate cards, expense management, working capital, the dashboards small-business owners actually open every morning, and the bank-side panels their relationship managers use to underwrite them.

You will work alongside the founder, the engineering team, and the 2026 Fellowship cohort. We expect taste, opinions, and a portfolio that shows you have shipped — not just designed. Four to five years of fintech UX is the bar. This is a senior IC role with leadership scope; you will set the design bar for the company, build the design system, and have a small team report into you within twelve months.

What you will do

• Drive end-to-end product design workstreams across cards, expense, factoring, and dashboards — from problem framing through high-fidelity execution.
• Contribute meaningfully to the design system — components, patterns, tokens, accessibility standards, and documentation.
• Leverage AI-native and AI-assisted tools and workflows to accelerate iteration, prototype faster, and explore solution spaces responsibly.
• Sit close to the founder on product direction; push back when needed.
• Lead user research with SMB customers and bank partners.
• Mentor a small design cohort and the Fellowship engineers on craft.

What you bring

• 4-5 years designing fintech specifically — not generalist B2B.
• A portfolio showing shipped, end-to-end work — not Dribbble shots.
• Design system fluency — built or maintained one in production.
• Strong written and visual communication — you write before you draw.

What you do not need

• A specific previous title — staff, senior, lead, principal. We care about scope, not labels.
• A management background. This is a senior IC role with leadership scope; people come later.
• Motion or 3D specialism. Pure product design taste is what we are hiring.
