CaratLane - A TATA Product
Mumbai
At CaratLane, design is how trust gets built. Someone deciding on a ₹80,000 solitaire on their phone needs the same confidence they'd feel holding it under a store light. Every pixel between them and that decision is either building that confidence or quietly eroding it.
You'll own the visual and interaction layer of that journey - across our website, our app, and the tools our store teams use every day. And you'll build the design system that lets the whole team move faster without the experience fragmenting.
What you'll own
Design system
Build a scalable, component-based design system from the ground up, or mature what exists, across web, Android, and iOS
Define tokens, patterns, and documentation that let designers and engineers ship consistent UI faster
Grow into governance -what enters the system, how it's versioned, how adoption spreads across squads
Partner with frontend and design engineering on the live component library (Storybook or equivalent)
Understand each platform's paradigms rather than flattening them - iOS, Android, desktop web, and tablet each have their own grammar
Craft
Become the leader of UI design for our highest-traffic surfaces, and hold jewellery and luxury to the standard it deserves
Generate pixel-perfect production assets with obsessive attention to detail
Set the visual and interaction quality bar, and raise the work around you through review
Micro Motion where it earns its place - micro-interactions, transitions, and how the product feels in the hand
Scale and leverage
Use AI tools to scale design output: component variants, automated documentation, faster engineering handoff,
less repetitive production work for the team
Build AI-assisted workflows the whole team can use, not just your own shortcuts
Work with product and engineering to validate designs against real usage data and iterate after launch
Collab with product designers on how ux journeys can be part of visually enriched flows, including how they build AI into their process
Represent design in cross-functional planning, and make the build-vs-reuse-from-system call
How you'll work
You'll work closely with almost everyone here - product, tech, merchandising, retail, and the CXOs. That access is real, and it comes with an expectation: bring the thinking behind the work, document your decisions, and see a feature through from inception to live.
You'll be expected to communicate proactively and persuasively - verbally and in writing. Keeping stakeholders in the loop as your work progresses isn't a nice-to-have here; it's most of what separates designers who succeed at CaratLane from those who don't.
Over time, you'll become one of the gatekeepers for experience quality before anything hits production.
A few honest things about this role
Most of what you design will not be trivial. You'll take a lot of feedback, explore a lot of dead ends,
and iterate more than feels comfortable. You'll juggle several projects and help decide what gets dropped. The team is ego-free and highly collaborative, and it only works if you are too.
What you'll bring
Must-have A portfolio that shows meticulous visual craft - spacing, type, hierarchy, restraint
2–3 years in UI design, including hands-on work building or scaling a design system A strong instinct for colour, typography, and composition
B2C or e-commerce experience at meaningful scale - high-traffic, conversion-driven surfaces
Strong command of Figma: component architecture, variants, tokens, auto layout
Practical use of AI tools (Figma AI, Claude, Midjourney, or similar) to speed up production, ideation, or documentation
Proven consistency across web and native mobile
Comfort with data - funnel metrics, heatmaps, and A/B results as design inputs
Positive to have
Fashion, luxury, lifestyle, or high-consideration retail experience
Figma Motion and animation skills are brownie points (After Effects, Rive, Framer, or similar)
Illustration or bespoke iconography
Omnichannel exposure, where the same customer moves between store and app
Any experience mentoring designers, however informal
Why us CaratLane serves customers across 400+ stores and a digital business growing faster than ever. The system you build will touch every one of those journeys. Real traffic, real stakes, leadership visibility, and a category where beautiful work actually shows
.While you're at it, we'll make sure you do some of the best work of your career .
