Lead UI Designer

CarDekho Group runs one of India's largest auto classifieds platforms, where millions of users search, compare, and buy/sell vehicles every month. We're hiring a UI Designer Lead to build and scale the design system powering our consumer surfaces for search & discovery, listing pages, and transaction flows, and to raise the design bar across the team. What You'll Own - • Build a scalable, component-based design system from the ground up (or mature an existing one) across web, Android, and iOS • Define tokens, patterns, and documentation that let designers and engineers ship consistent UI faster • Own governance: what gets added to the system, versioning, and adoption across squads • Use AI tools to scale design output — generating component variants, automating documentation, speeding up handoff to engineering, and reducing repetitive production work across the team • Lead UI design for high-traffic surfaces across the classifieds funnel (search, listing detail, filters, buyer/seller flows) • Set the visual and interaction quality bar for the team, reviewing and raising the level of others' work • Partner with product and engineering leads to validate designs against usage data and iterate post-launch • Mentor and review the work of other UI/product designers, including how they use AI in their own workflow • Represent design in cross-functional planning, making the call on build-vs-reuse-from-system tradeoffs What We Expect You to Bring - Must-Have • 4–6 years of UI design experience, including direct experience building or scaling a design system • Experience designing for B2C or e-commerce products at meaningful scale (high-traffic, conversion-driven surfaces) • Strong command of Figma (or equivalent), including component architecture, variants, and design tokens • Practical experience using AI tools (e.g., Figma AI, Midjourney, Claude, or similar) to speed up design production, ideation, or documentation • Demonstrated ability to design consistently across web and mobile app platforms • Comfort working with data — using funnel metrics, heatmaps, or A/B results to inform design and system decisions • Experience reviewing or mentoring other designers, even informally • Prior experience in classifieds, marketplace, or auto/mobility industry products • Experience partnering directly with design engineers/frontend teams on a component library (e.g., Storybook) • Experience setting up AI-assisted workflows or tooling for a design team (not just individual use)
