ABOUT US

THE ROLE
We're looking for a Product Designer who also builds, someone who can design in Figma and ship in code, to own the end-to-end UI/UX of our AI-native cybersecurity platform. You will shape how security teams interact with an AI agent in high-stakes, real-world workflows. That means clean, precise interfaces where every interaction is intentional and every pixel earns its place.
This is a hands-on role. You design it, you build it.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own product design from research and concept through to production-ready code across the core product
Build and maintain the product design system, in Figma and in React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
Translate complex security workflows into interfaces that feel intuitive to practitioners
Collaborate directly with backend engineers and security researchers to ship features fast
Define interaction patterns for human-in-the-loop AI experiences
Lead design reviews and contribute to component architecture and frontend standards
MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE
4+ years designing and building user-facing products as a product designer, design engineer, or equivalent hybrid role
Strong proficiency in ReactJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS
Ability to own design decisions end-to-end without a dedicated design team
Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and responsive design
Experience working directly with engineers and PMs in fast-moving environments
TECHNICAL STACK
Experience with tools such as:
Figma (design systems, prototyping, and developer handoff)
ReactJS + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
WebSockets, Docker
NICE TO HAVE
Experience designing for developer tools, data-intensive dashboards, or AI interfaces
Familiarity with human-in-the-loop workflows, LLM agent UX, or security tools
Contributions to open-source UI frameworks or design systems
Background in early-stage startups or cross-functional product squads
Interest in cybersecurity and/or AI-enabled tooling. Curiosity is enough; deep expertise is not required
