About the design team

At PhonePe, Design operates at the eye of the storm, collaborating with business, engineering, content, legal, and other teams to build systems that move fast and think long. We evolve our products through experimentation, shared learnings, and a high-trust culture of autonomy and feedback.

The team is made up of specialists in product design, UX writing, motion and illustration, and visual design. Each craft brings its own depth, but we design with shared context and common goals, and our work is all the better for it. 

Our work spans both the mature PhonePe product and our newer zero-to-one initiatives. Indus Appstore pushes us to imagine what a truly Indian app discovery experience should feel like. Share.Market asks us to make investing approachable for first-time users without compromising the depth expected by seasoned traders. Pincode challenges us to rethink hyperlocal commerce by designing for real-world frictions: kirana culture, fulfillment complexity, and trust-building.  

The Design team is aspirational. We’re not looking sideways at competitors, but ahead at what should exist. Ambition and realism both matter to us, so you’ll work with people who care about polish and integrity, speed and stability, aesthetics and accessibility. We welcome creative ideas, especially those that help us see familiar problems differently. 

So if you’re looking for a place where designers are trusted to lead, where problems are complex and meaningful, and where the work changes the fabric of the real world fast and significantly, you’ll fit right in!
