THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Design Engineer - a rare blend of product designer and frontend developer - to own the end-to-end UI/UX of our AI-native cybersecurity platform. You will shape how security teams interact with an AI agent in high-stakes, real-world workflows. That means clean, precise interfaces where every interaction is intentional and every pixel earns its place.
This is a hands-on role. You design it, you build it.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own UI/UX from concept to production-ready code across the core product
- Build and maintain a frontend design system in React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
- Translate complex security workflows into interfaces that feel intuitive to practitioners
- Collaborate directly with backend engineers and security researchers to ship features fast
- Define interaction patterns for human-in-the-loop AI experiences
- Contribute to design reviews, component architecture, and frontend standards
- MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE
- 4+ years building user-facing products as a design engineer or equivalent hybrid role
- Strong proficiency in ReactJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS
- Ability to own design decisions end-to-end without a dedicated design team
- Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and responsive design
- Experience working directly with engineers and PMs in fast-moving environments
- TECHNICAL STACK
- Experience with tools such as: ReactJS + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
- Figma (design handoff and systems)
- WebSockets, Docker
- NICE TO HAVE
- Experience designing for developer tools, data-intensive dashboards, or AI interfaces
- Familiarity with human-in-the-loop workflows, LLM agent UX, or security tools
- Contributions to open-source UI frameworks or design systems
- Background in early-stage startups or cross-functional product squads
- Interest in cybersecurity and/or AI-enabled tooling — curiosity is enough, deep expertise not required
