You'll work closely with product and engineering to turn complex security workflows - findings triage, root-cause investigation, remediation review, and prevention guardrails - into interfaces that feel fast, trustworthy, and obvious to use. This is a hands-on design role: you'll be in the details of interaction and visual design day to day, working across the product as it takes shape.\nThis role is 100% onsite at our San Francisco office. We're looking for someone who wants to build in person, alongside the founding team, during this stage of the company.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn product design for Pi's core surfaces - findings, investigations, remediation workflows, dashboards, and the Sloane assistant experience - from early concept through shipped detail.\n\nTurn dense, technical security and engineering context into interfaces that are fast to scan, easy to trust, and simple to act on, for both security teams and developers.\n\nWork directly with product and engineering to translate ambiguous product direction into concrete flows, prototypes, and polished UI.\n\nDesign within and help extend the product's visual language and component patterns, partnering closely with frontend engineers who implement in React, and Next.js.\n\nRun discovery with customers and internal stakeholders - interviews, workflow shadowing, usability testing - to ground design decisions in how security and engineering teams actually work.\n\nBalance speed with rigor: ship quickly, but hold the line on clarity and trust for a product that security teams depend on.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n3-5+ years of product design experience, including owning complex, workflow-heavy products end to end (not just marketing sites or simple CRUD apps).\n\nA portfolio that shows strong systems thinking - designing for information-dense, technical, or enterprise products where clarity and trust matter as much as visual polish.\n\nFluency in modern interaction patterns for dashboards, tables, filters, detail views, and multi-step workflows.\n\nComfort working directly with engineers on implementation details - you understand what's cheap and what's expensive to build, and you design accordingly.\n\nStrong prototyping skills (Sketch preferred, Figma or equivalent) and the judgment to know when a quick sketch is enough and when a high-fidelity prototype is needed.\n\nExperience running lightweight, fast research - customer interviews, usability tests - and translating findings into design decisions without slowing the team down.\n\nComfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment, with the judgment to know when to move fast and when to slow down (especially given the security-critical nature of the product).\n\nWillingness and desire to work onsite in San Francisco full-time.\n\nNice to Have\nBackground designing for developer tools, security products, infrastructure, or other technical B2B products.\n\nExperience contributing to or evolving a design system.\n\nFamiliarity with the frontend stack we build on (React, Next.js) or enough technical fluency to collaborate closely in it.\n\nPrior experience as an early design hire at a startup.\n\nExperience designing AI-assisted or agentic product experiences.\n\nSuccess In This Role Looks Like\nComplex security workflows become simple, fast, and intuitive for the people who use them daily.\n\nProduct surfaces are polished, consistent, and easy to extend as the platform grows.\n\nDesign and engineering move in lockstep - new features ship without fragile or inconsistent UI.\n\nCustomers and internal teams trust the product to guide them to the right action, not just show them data.\n\nWhat We Offer\nThe opportunity to be an early design hire with outsized ownership over product direction at a well-funded, fast-growing security startup.\n\nCompetitive salary and meaningful equity.\n\nWork directly alongside the founding team, backed by top investors and security industry leaders.\n\nA San Francisco office and a team that believes in building together, in person.\n\nPi Security is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4287,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T17:25:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.594,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:17","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-03T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pi-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pi-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T03:12:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4860,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":140,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
