YOUR JOB

Are you excited about turning complex workflows into intuitive product experiences? Do you want to shape how AI transforms security and privacy for thousands of users?

If turning complexity into clarity, raising the bar on product quality, and shaping meaningful user experiences excites you, this could be your next step.

With AI-powered automation, self-serve capabilities, and additional tailored expert advice, we offer our customers a seamless security and compliance experience to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving security landscape and challenges like the surge in cyber-attacks.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Systems, Craft and Design Quality

Contribute to and evolve the design system, improving consistency, extending patterns, and supporting the transformation into a unified Integrated Management System
Prototype early and drive discovery and validation, using modern design and AI tooling, user research, and feedback loops to continuously improve design decisions and de-risk product direction

Communication, Documentation and Influence

Communicate the why behind design decisions, through clear documentation, structured UX rationale, and handoff-ready assets in Figma, and transparent tracking of work in JIRA
Collaborate closely with Product Managers on problem framing and with Engineering on feasibility, presenting and demoing work confidently (live and async) while helping raise the craft bar through strong practices and a design culture that others want to be part of.

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

The freedom, trust, and tools to do what you love and make an impact in a purpose-driven company, committed to doing genuine good in the digital world.
Enjoy a high degree of flexibility with tailored working hours, choice of work location, and benefits that support your lifestyle, health, and family needs.
Join a secure, future-focused role in a dynamic scale-up positioned to make a major impact in the rapidly expanding Security & Compliance market.
Grow along expert or leadership paths with support from employee accelerator programs, bi-annual feedback cycles, and a personal training budget.
Work in an environment that values autonomy, rapid decision-making, a flat hierarchy, and collaborative, eye-level communication to keep things moving forward.
A platform in transformation, where the decisions you make now will define how we look and feel for years.
Direct partnership with Product, Marketing, Customers and In-House Experts and AI capability teams on work that matters to real customers.
