About The Position

We’re reimagining how people connect with and protect what matters most. As part of a global company known for brands like Norton, LifeLock, Moneylion, and Avast, we’re building new products and experiences that address real-world challenges with clarity, purpose, and empathy. We’re also on a mission to become an AI-first company—infusing intelligent systems, automation, and personalization into everything we do. From how we design user experiences to how we protect identities and enable secure financial wellness, AI is central to our strategy, and design plays a key role in making it accessible, trustworthy, and human.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Designer with exceptional interaction and visual design craft and a strong track record of solving hard user and business problems in consumer products.

Requirements

8+ years of product design experience, with majority shipping mobile-first B2C products at scale.
Experience in cybersecurity or financial services is helpful, but curiosity, adaptability and a maker’s mindset matter more.
Able to take large, ambiguous problem spaces and break them into clear, actionable steps.
Exceptional interaction and visual design craft—best-in-class layout, navigation, IA, UI, motion, and micro-interactions.
Strategic, systems thinker who knows how design drives user value and business growth across journeys and platforms.
Experienced in creating design systems, standards, and principles that raise quality across a product organization.
Mastery of end-to-end product design: discovery, flows and IA, high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and implementation partnership.
Strong intuition for usability, complemented by deep user empathy and a belief in data-informed decision-making.
Influential, collaborative partner who leverages design to shape product and engineering decisions.
Curious, adaptable, and comfortable working across time zones and cultures; startup or solo-designer experience is a plus.
Experience with AI-driven features (personalization, recommendations, automation) is a strong plus.
You’re obsessed with beautiful experiences and thoughtful details.
Expert in interaction design for mobile and responsive web, including complex flows, navigation, and micro-interactions.
Strong visual design craft with a refined sense of typography, color, and composition tailored to consumer brands.
Advanced design systems skills: creating, documenting, and evolving component libraries and patterns used across multiple products.
Proficient with modern design and prototyping tools o express motion, states, and end-to-end experiences.
Comfortable working with data and experimentation (qualitative insights, analytics, A/B tests) to inform and iterate on designs.
Experience designing AI-powered workflows (e.g., assistants, recommendations, automation) with a focus on transparency and control.
Strong storytelling and communication skills—able to frame problems, present trade-offs, and align partners around design decisions.
User-obsessed and highly empathetic, with a strong bias toward human, accessible, and trustworthy experiences.
Strategic yet hands-on: equally energized by shaping strategy and sweating the craft details.
Systems thinker who sees connections across journeys, surfaces, and teams—and designs for long-term scalability.
Collaborative and low-ego, skilled at building trusted relationships and influencing without authority.
Curious and experimental, eager to explore new patterns—especially around AI—and learn through discovery and iteration.
Clear, candid communicator who gives and receives feedback well and raises the bar for design quality.
Resilient and adaptable, comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and distributed teams and time zones.
