Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Threat Research, and Executive Leadership, influencing product strategy through user insights, design vision, and architectural thinking.

Advocate for design at the leadership level, balancing user needs with technical and business constraints, and communicate design strategy, tradeoffs, and outcomes clearly to executive stakeholders.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

10 or more years of experience in Product Design or UX, with 5 or more years in senior leadership roles.

Proven experience leading UX for complex B2B or SaaS platforms.

Strong background in UX architecture, interaction models, and system-level design.

Experience designing cybersecurity, observability, DevOps, or similarly complex technical products is preferred.

Familiarity with security workflows such as alert triage, investigations, threat hunting, and incident response is preferred.
