They’re building AI-driven security products ranging from intelligent agents to advanced generative AI workflows and are expanding their design function.

They’re hiring a Senior UX Designer who can translate highly technical cybersecurity workflows into intuitive, high-velocity user experiences. This is a pivotal role with direct impact on user trust, decision-making clarity, and overall product adoption. It’s a chance to step into an early-stage environment with enterprise-grade backing.

Key Responsibilities

  • Simplify complex security concepts into clear, operational user journeys.
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering and cybersecurity SMEs to ensure design feasibility.
  • Build and evolve a scalable design system across products.
  • Advocate for user-centered decisions throughout the product lifecycle.

  • 5–10 years in UX / Product / Interaction Design.
  • Strong experience in Figma; Miro or Sketch familiarity is a plus.
  • Background designing complex digital products (web or large-screen).
  • Solid understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and global user considerations.
  • Strong communicator with a collaborative mindset.
  • Bonus : Cybersecurity exposure or experience partnering with security teams.
  • What’s in It for Candidates

  • Leadership with deep AI and cybersecurity pedigree.
  • Fortune 500 traction already underway.
  • Competitive comp, equity, and full benefits.
