Design Builder

Alright, let's skip the corporate fluff. Razorpay is a motley crew of suave designers, magical engineers, sales hustlers, and customer champions as calm as a rock in a hurricane. Our delightfully audacious mission? To rewire the very backbone of the internet: online payments.

We believe that if our customers are pulling their hair out over payments, we’ve failed spectacularly. Our customers adore our tech and UX, and honestly, we get a huge kick out of seeing people enjoy the results of our fanatic focus on making payments simple. We have cash in the bank, a list of investors that reads like a who's who, and we're in this for the long haul.

Something changed in the last year. The handoff - that moment where a designer's Figma file gets passed to an engineer and the designer steps back and waits - is disappearing.

Our designers aren't waiting anymore. They're taking their work further - building prototypes that go live, closing the gap between what they imagined and what actually exists in the product. AI made the distance between design and engineering small enough to step over. You don't need to be an engineer to do this. You need to be someone who doesn't stop when the Figma file is done.

We're not retrofitting this into how we work. We're hiring for it.

You're not a designer who codes a little. You're not an engineer who designs on the side. You're something newer - someone whose design process doesn't end at the Figma file.

You've felt the frustration of seeing your vision lose something in the handoff. And at some point, instead of writing a longer spec, you just built the thing yourself. Maybe it was a prototype you pushed further than anyone expected. Maybe it was a component you shipped directly. Maybe it was just a moment where AI closed the gap enough that stopping felt like the wrong choice.

You think in outcomes, not deliverables. You know when to stay in Figma and when to go further. And you've developed a taste for owning the result, not just the vision of it.

We treat everyone here like the grown-up professional they are.  This means you get the freedom to experiment, the ownership to see your work have a real impact, and the license to fail. (Yes, really. Some of our best lessons have come from glorious face-plants).  We default to transparency because we believe genius ideas can come from anywhere, but only if people actually know what’s going on.

We have all the best tools for the job-Adobe Creative Suite, Figma (do you even need them anymore?) and a growing arsenal of AI tools and agents are all part of our workflow. Our Slack channels are a healthy mix of deep, intellectual debate and highly questionable memes. At the end of the day, we know we're human, and we find the comedy in our errors, together.

As a Design Engineer in this new AI-led Razorpay universe, you will get to:

Take a problem from brief to browser - design it, build it, ship it. The Figma file is a step in the process, not the finish line.

⚡️

Because you can build what you design, you catch things in the live product that would never show up in a review. You fix them the same day.

🤖

Not to generate pretty mockups - to actually accelerate the build. Prompting, iterating, generating production-ready components, moving faster than a traditional design-dev cycle ever could.

🧩

Design tokens, component logic, interaction states - you work at the boundary of design and code, and you make both sides better for it.

🎯

You're not decorating someone else's product thinking. You bring a sharp POV on what to build, what to cut, and what the right experience actually is.

You've taken work further than a Figma file - a prototype that got used, a component that shipped, something that existed in the real product because you made it happen. That's the baseline.

Your AI usage is substantive. You use it to build faster, explore more, and push further than you could alone - not to generate a mood board.

You have strong visual and interaction craft. Moving fast doesn't mean moving sloppily. You hold the bar on quality regardless of how you got there.

You're comfortable with ambiguity. You can take a vague problem, define it yourself, and start building - without waiting for someone to hand you a complete brief.

You're not afraid to get your hands dirty prototyping ideas, using AI to get from A to B faster so you can spend more time exploring C through Z.

🍪

You've worked on complex products and understand how much edge-case thinking goes into such journeys.

You have opinions about where design and engineering are converging, and they're more interesting than "prompts are the new design tool.

Product design is changing. The most valuable designers in the next five years won't be the ones with the most beautiful Figma files - they'll be the ones who can take an idea all the way to a live product, with fewer people in the chain and more ownership of the outcome.

That's the direction we're moving in at Razorpay. If that's already how you work - or how you want to work - we'd like to talk.
