Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating the rate of human progress.

As a Senior Product Designer on our Posture Management team, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping a unified platform that empowers organizations to assess their risk and remediate existing vulnerabilities. You’ll design holistic experiences that span the entire Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) landscape, ensuring that our solutions are not just effective but also seamless and intuitive.

In this role, you’ll navigate the unique challenges of a nimble, cross-functional team where security workflows often overlap. Your ability to stay attuned to what others are working on and understand how different areas interconnect will be crucial. This collaborative approach ensures that we cover the entirety of our users’ workflows in a cohesive manner.

Your work will have a direct impact on our customers by providing them with a one-stop platform for all things DevSecOps. Recognizing that many companies face resource constraints in hiring enough security application engineers, you’ll design software that helps those teams lower security threat risk and empowers their product development teams to shift left—enabling them to proactively address security challenges on their own.

You’ll collaborate closely with security experts, engineers, and other designers within the Secure and Govern team. If you’re passionate about creating impactful designs in the security space and are familiar with ASPM concepts, we’d love to have you on board.
