• Senior User Experience Designer

   

  Our products hold the shadows at bay, shielding businesses from calculated and malicious cyber attacks. Our customers rely on us for detection, prevention and remediation of security risks. The user base we serve ranges from highly technical cybersecurity scientists to set-it-and-forget-it folks. Gauntlet, tossed. We’re looking for a versatile Senior User Experience Designer with serious information architecture and interaction design expertise, who’s charged up by working on complex UX challenges.  An eternal student always on the lookout for new promising techniques, utilizing hard-earned UX chops to make users’ lives easier and keep data safer.

   

  Why You Matter

  You’re compelled to ask “why”. You need to know your work has purpose. You’re fascinated by humans and how they make sense of complex data. You’re a seasoned designer who takes the time to understand customers, and can tell an engaging story to your teammates when sharing user discoveries. You collaborate cross-functionally, and recognize that good ideas come from everywhere. You are well-informed, strategic when advocating for the user’s experience, and eager to deliver customer value.

  What we’re interested in: your design process, techniques and methodologies; NOT merely polished or final visuals. We love to see sketches, workflows, annotated wireframes, sitemaps, user journeys, task analysis, brainstorms and other artifacts of how you tackled the design challenge from start to finish. It’s the journey that speaks to us, not just the finished product. Additional bonus points for experience in at least one project in the security technology space
