About Adaptive Security

Adaptive is a cybersecurity startup on a mission to stop AI-powered cyberattacks, founded by Brian Long and Andrew Jones—proven entrepreneurs behind Attentive (Forbes Cloud 100, $10B+ valuation) and TapCommerce (acquired by Twitter). In April 2025, Adaptive raised $43M, led by a16z and the OpenAI Fund, marking OpenAI's first-ever cybersecurity investment.

The Role

Adaptive is looking for a Visual Designer to join our Content Team , shaping the look and feel of our security awareness training. You’ll help us bring complex cybersecurity concepts to life through clean, engaging visuals that make learning stick.

This is a product-facing role : you will design 3d art, infographics, layouts, and motion elements inside our training module and newsletters. It’s a great fit for a designer who wants to specialize in learning and product design, while collaborating with product managers, product designers, and engineers.

This role will start as a contractor role, with potential to transition into a full-time opportunity based on performance and business need.

What You’ll Do

  • Design training visuals : Create 3d art, icons, gifs, and layouts that make complex security topics clear and engaging.
  • Elevate learning experiences : Translate written scripts into compelling visual narratives inside our training platform.
  • Support consistency : Apply Adaptive’s design system and content style guidelines across modules and keep assets organized.
  • Collaborate with content creators : Work closely with product managers and product designers to ensure visuals enhance learning, not just decorate it.
  • Experiment with motion / animation : Use lightweight motion to bring key learning moments to life.
  • Contribute to accessibility : Design with diverse learners in mind, ensuring clarity, readability, and accessibility in all visuals.

Who You Are

  • Early-to-mid career designer (2–5 years relevant experience) : you have a portfolio showing strong fundamentals in layout and digital design.
  • Proficient in Figma (or similar) : you're eager to grow skills in component libraries, grids, and scalable content design.
  • Detail-obsessed : you sweat type, spacing, and visual clarity.
  • Collaborative : you enjoy feedback, iteration, and working across functions.
  • Adaptive : comfortable creating everything from module layouts to infographics to iconography.
  • Bonus : experience with motion design tools (After Effects, Lottie, Rive) or in e-learning / educational design.

    • What We Offer

  • Mentorship & Growth : Direct coaching from senior content and product leaders, with clear paths to expand scope as you grow.
  • Equity & Upside : Share in Adaptive’s success alongside founders with multiple $B+ exits.
  • Comprehensive Benefits : Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • High-Impact Work : Your designs will directly shape how learners experience Adaptive training.
  • In-office Culture : A fast-moving, collaborative in-office environment that rewards creativity and bold ideas.

    • If you’re ready to sharpen your craft and design visuals that directly help people stay safe in the age of AI threats, join Adaptive as our next Visual Designer!
