• Design intuitive experiences for merchant onboarding & KYC flows, POS activation & transaction journeys, merchant app & web dashboards, banking features (accounts, transfers, settlements), merchant lending flows (eligibility, disbursement, repayment)

• Translate complex fintech, risk, and compliance requirements into simple, usable interfaces
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Risk, and Business teams to ship high-impact features
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and iterate based on real merchant feedback

  • Design systems & component-based design
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving requirements
• Ability to explain design decisions clearly to non-design stakeholders
