CARS24 jobs - Product Designer

We are CARS24

And as our name rightly suggests, we deal in everything related to pre-owned automobiles (car & bikes) and we do it 24/7.

Now, you might ask, in this sea of car re-sellers, what is it that makes us different? Well, CARS24 is more than your next-door car re-seller. It is a next-generation e-commerce

platform with an edge. It is the satisfaction we provide our customers that lies at the heart of our business.

We take great pride in providing the best experience to all parties involved - with sellers

getting the best value for their car, and buyers getting to choose from a wide assortment of automobiles.

For a company launched in just 2015, CARS24 has scaled rapidly. With a presence in 100 cities and counting, we are growing at more than a 100% rate, year on year. That’s not all - CARS24 provides several other services that benefit our patrons, such as financing and warranty for its consumers.

Our success is spearheaded by innovation - the invention of a unique price discovery mechanism of used autos. It includes a state-of-the-art propriety inspection app, an innovative auction format that is first-of-its-kind in the world, and an all-powerful algorithm that matches supply and demand using millions of data points.
