The World of BookMyShow

Launched in 2007, BookMyShow, owned and operated by Big Tree Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.
(founded in 1999), is India's leading entertainment destination with global operations and the
one-stop shop for every entertainment need. The firm is present in over 650 towns and cities in
India and works with partners across the industry to provide unmatched entertainment
experiences to millions of customers.
Over the years, the company has evolved from a purely online ticketing platform for movies
across 6,000 plus screens, to end-to-end management of live entertainment events including
music concerts, live performances, theatricals, sports and more. Some of the key properties that
BookMyShow has brought to its markets include U2's The Joshua Tree Tour, NBA's debut
games in India, Disney's Aladdin, Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR as well as international artists such
as Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Justin Bieber.
BookMyShow is invested in providing the best user experience, whether on-ground or online.
The company has developed 'BookMyShow Online', India's first-of-its-kind video streaming
platform for live entertainment, and 'BookMyShow Stream', India's largest home-grown
transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) platform. 

About the Design Team

The design team at BMS is a tight-knit group of high-performing individuals who have deeply
imbibed the spirit of Agile as an attitude. We focus deeply on challenging our own assumptions
by keeping an ear to the ground to better understand the ever evolving landscape. Constant
learning is an integral part of the culture, coupled with regular, fun interactive sessions that help
the team bond better.
Being a collaborative problem-solver is key to fitting in at BMS. We value different points of view
and work closely across departments to deliver designs that have massive impact. Being able to
give and absorb constructive feedback is a skill that is critical.

About the Role

We are looking for a UI Designer who will own and evolve our design system while bringing
interfaces to life through thoughtful motion and interaction design. This role sits at the
intersection of systems thinking and craft. You'll build the foundational infrastructure that enables our product teams to move fast while maintaining consistency, and you'll define the
micro-interactions that make BookMyShow feel delightful and intuitive.
The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Figma, someone who understands component
architecture, design tokens, and variable-driven theming at a structural level. You should be
comfortable building and documenting component libraries that scale across products and
platforms, with a strong grasp of naming conventions, variant logic, and auto layout best
practices. Beyond static components, you bring proficiency in motion and interaction design:
the ability to define meaningful transitions, micro-interactions, and animation specifications that
enhance user delight while maintaining performance and consistency.
You should be able to articulate timing curves, duration standards, and interaction patterns in a
way that developers can implement reliably. Experience collaborating with engineering teams to
translate design system decisions into code-friendly documentation is essential.

What You Should Bring to the Table

Design System Expertise

• Proven experience building and maintaining design systems at scale, with a portfolio
  demonstrating component libraries, token architecture, and documentation.
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including Libraries, Components, Variants, Auto
  Layout, and Variables (modes, scoping, aliasing).
• Strong understanding of design token methodology primitive vs semantic tokens, naming
  conventions, and multi-platform token translation.
• Experience with design-to-code workflows and collaborating with engineering on
  component implementation.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design principles within
  design systems.

Motion & Interaction Design

• Demonstrable expertise in designing micro-interactions that enhance user delight,
  engagement, and clarity.
• Proficiency in prototyping tools for motion Figma prototyping, Principle, After Effects, or
  similar.
• Ability to specify animation parameters (duration, easing curves, delays) in
  developer-friendly formats.
• Understanding of performance implications of animations across web and mobile
  platforms.
• Strong sense of timing and rhythm knowing when motion adds value vs when it creates
  friction.

Core Design Skills

• Relevant years of design experience in product companies with a focus on B2C
  applications.
• Excellent visual design skills with sensitivity to user-system interaction.
• A process-driven approach to creating wireframes, user flows, and interaction
  specifications.
• Ability to present designs and articulate system decisions to various stakeholders.
• Up-to-date with the latest UI trends, interaction patterns, and design system practices.
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum development process.

What the Work Looks Like

Design System Ownership

• Own and evolve the BookMyShow design system components, tokens, patterns, and
  documentation.
• Build and maintain Figma component libraries with proper variant structures, auto layout,
  and variable bindings.
• Define and implement design token architecture using Figma Variables, supporting
  theming and multi-platform consistency.
• Establish naming conventions, file organization standards, and contribution guidelines
  for the design team.
• Create comprehensive documentation that enables designers and developers to use the
  system correctly.
• Conduct regular audits to ensure design system adoption and identify gaps or
  inconsistencies.

Interaction & Motion Design

• Design delightful micro-interactions that enhance the overall user experience and create
  memorable moments.
• Define motion principles, timing standards, and animation guidelines for the design
  system.
• Create interactive prototypes to communicate motion specifications to engineering teams.
• Collaborate with developers to ensure animations are implemented correctly and
  performantly.
• Balance delight with usability, ensure motion serves the user, not just aesthetics.

Collaboration & Process

• Partner with designers and engineering to define innovative solutions for product
  direction.
• Execute all visual design stages from concept to final hand-off to engineering.
• Share ideas early for feedback, be open to testing, and iterate rapidly.
• Present and defend designs and key milestone deliverables to peers and executive-level
  stakeholders.
• Contribute to research, both qualitative and quantitative to inform design decisions.
• Document the process thoroughly

What You'll Get

• A real taste of a platform with millions of active users where each design decision has
  measurable impact.
• Ownership of a critical design infrastructure that shapes how the entire product team
  works.
• Opportunity to define motion and interaction standards for one of India's most-used
  consumer apps.
• Working with industry leaders across responsibilities.
• Variety of projects ranging from B2B to B2C, with significant focus on consumer
  experiences.
• An exciting and supportive team structure that promotes sharp, analytical processes.

To Get a Jumpstart

• Be an initiator, not a follower
• Take complete ownership of the project
• Focus both on the process and the outcome

We recommend that you share a portfolio at the time of making your application. Include case
studies, prototypes, and any other documentation that helps us understand your thought
process as well as your skillset. Showcasing your work on design systems,
micro-interactions, motion specifications, and B2C applications would be particularly
valuable.
