Core Responsibilities

• End-to-end design including discovery, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity interfaces, interactive prototypes, and detailed engineering handoff.
• Create AI answer presentations that distinctly showcase cited, confidence-weighted, evidence-supported responses separating facts, inferences, and opinions clearly.
• Design vendor profile and comparison tools managing categories, integrations, compliance, and benchmarking with high data density yet easy readability.
• Develop onboarding and context-capture processes applying progressive profiling balancing speed and necessary product context.
• Build responsive website and web app elements such as marketing pages, login portals, gated reports, market maps, and paid services optimized for mobile and desktop.
• Establish and maintain a design system with shared components, tokens, and patterns ensuring visual and functional consistency across products.

Design Quality & Collaboration

• Simplify intricate cybersecurity and AI topics into user-friendly interfaces covering flows, diagrams, and stepwise interactions.
• Ensure distinctive typography, hierarchy, and accessibility to clearly differentiate findings, evidence, and user actions.
• Maintain brand consistency in color, spacing, and typography scale.
• Conduct light user research and usability tests, incorporating feedback from the CISO Advisory Board.
• Provide comprehensive developer handoffs, effectively communicating expected feature behaviors to facilitate confident engineering implementation.

Working Style & Tools

• Comfortably design amid ambiguity in a discovery-heavy startup environment.
• Utilize Figma for design exploration and prototyping; use Notion for tracking technical revisions.
• Practice clear asynchronous communication with status updates and clarifications.
• Iterate quickly and welcome feedback openly.
• Support both product and website design while occasionally contributing to brand assets.
• Organize and share editable files ensuring easy asset reuse.

Confidentiality & Security Responsibilities

• Handle sensitive, pre-publication, and embargoed cybersecurity research with utmost discretion, complying with NDAs and embargoes.
• Apply secure file management procedures including approved tools and controlled access.
• Maintain accuracy and credibility in data visualization and avoid distortions or misleading representations.
• Demonstrate strong curiosity about cybersecurity threat landscapes, vendor categories, and frameworks to produce credible designs suited for the target audience.

Primary Tools

• Figma (primary for UI design, prototyping, and design systems).
• Notion (documentation, roadmaps, technical tracking).
• Claude Design (AI-assisted design; preferred).
• Canva (quick brand and social media assets; preferred).
• Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator and Photoshop for supporting assets; preferred).

Required Qualifications

• 2 to 4 years experience in product or UX/UI design, preferably in B2B SaaS or enterprise software environments.
• Portfolio evidencing comprehensive product design, complex data-heavy interfaces, and design system contributions.
• Expert Figma skills including design, prototyping, components, and libraries.
• Strong fundamentals in UX: information architecture, interaction design, usability, accessibility, and responsive design.
• Hands-on experience with UX research methods such as journey mapping, user interviews, and usability testing, able to interpret stakeholder/user insights beyond surface-level requirements.
• Ability to deliver consistent responsive design across various devices.
• Skill translating complex technical concepts into straightforward, clean interfaces.
• Excellent typography, layout, and visual hierarchy capabilities.
• Efficient asynchronous communication with rapid, feedback-oriented iteration.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing AI/LLM-based products including chat/answer UIs, citation mechanisms, confidence indicators, and agentic flows.
• Proven ability to develop design systems from the ground up.
• Basic front-end understanding (HTML/CSS) to collaborate effectively with engineers.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity or other technical regulated sectors, especially designing for enterprise or technical users.
• Familiarity with Canva for instant marketing collateral creation.
• Ability to incorporate microinteractions using JavaScript libraries to enhance engagement.
• Experience with Claude Design for accelerating design exploration and iteration.

Selection Criteria

• Portfolio showcasing full product design lifecycle and complex, data-intensive interfaces.
• Examples of web/app UI with responsive layouts.
• Demonstrations where complex workflows or concepts were simplified.
• Potential design challenge covering problem framing and quality of layout, interaction, and speed.
