About The Position

RapidFort is a Series A cybersecurity company focused on software supply chain security. We help enterprises understand their software, reduce vulnerability risks, and ship secure container images. Our users include security teams, platform engineers, developers, administrators, and enterprise leaders. This is a product-first design role where the Senior Product Designer will own major parts of the platform, working directly with Product and Engineering from problem definition to shipped software. The role involves tackling complex problems related to vulnerabilities, software artifacts, policies, and diverse user needs. The designer will be comfortable with both high-level system thinking and detailed interaction design. Approximately 80% of the time will be dedicated to product design, with the remaining 20% supporting brand and marketing design in partnership with Marketing. The role starts as a hands-on individual contributor, establishing design operations and processes, with a clear opportunity to build and lead the design team as the company grows.

Requirements

5+ years of product design experience, with deep experience in complex B2B, enterprise, platform, developer, infrastructure, data, or operational products.
A portfolio of shipped product work, especially complex workflows and data-dense interfaces.
Strong systems thinking.
Excellent interaction design, information architecture, UX, and visual design craft.
Experience designing products where users need to understand and act on large amounts of information.
Ability to simplify technically complex concepts without removing details that matter.
Strong product judgment and the confidence to push back when a requirement does not solve the underlying problem.
Experience working directly and iteratively with Product Managers and Engineers.
Ability to operate independently without requiring a large design organization or highly detailed requirements.
Advanced Figma skills, including components, variables, design systems, responsive layouts, and prototypes.
Practical, regular use of modern AI tools in your design process.
Clear, written and verbal communication.

Nice To Haves

Cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, observability, developer tools, or developer platform experience.
Container security, Kubernetes, vulnerability management, or software supply chain security experience.
Experience designing RBAC, policy, governance, compliance, audit, administration, or multi-tenant systems.
Experience with products that expose large, complex, or highly interconnected datasets.
Shipped AI-native or agent-driven product experiences.
Prototyping with tools such as Cursor, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools.
Experience mentoring designers, directing agencies, or acting as the senior design voice in a small organization.
Experience using product analytics to evaluate and improve product experiences.

Responsibilities

Own complex product experiences, designing end-to-end workflows across the platform from understanding risk to remediation, governance, and reporting.
Redesign data-dense experiences such as vulnerability lists, image and workload inventories, cluster views, risk summaries, and operational dashboards.
Make large datasets easier to navigate through strong use of tables, filters, search, comparison, hierarchy, visualization, and drill-down.
Define information architecture and interaction models that allow the platform to grow coherently.
Solve enterprise platform problems including roles and permissions, organizations and environments, policies, onboarding, audit, reporting, and administration.
Design for security practitioners, developers, platform engineers, administrators, and executives, tailoring experiences to different user needs.
Think in systems, not just screens.
Partner with Product and Engineering to shape problems before jumping to solutions.
Challenge assumptions and requirements when a simpler or better solution exists.
Move quickly from rough flows and concepts to prototypes, detailed interaction design, and production-ready UI.
Test ideas early and often.
Join customer conversations, usability sessions, and product discovery.
Use qualitative feedback, product analytics, and behavioral data to guide decisions.
Stay involved through implementation and own the quality of shipped product.
Evolve components, patterns, and interaction standards across navigation, data presentation, states, feedback, and enterprise workflows.
Create systems that improve consistency without slowing down engineering.
Help Engineering reuse patterns rather than redesigning interactions repeatedly.
Raise the quality bar while keeping the design system pragmatic.
Use AI tools as a normal part of the workflow for research, exploration, prototyping, content, and iteration.
Use modern prototyping and development tools to move quickly from idea to interactive product.
Help define how AI and agent-driven workflows should appear inside RapidFort.
Develop a strong point of view on where AI genuinely improves a workflow and where traditional interaction patterns remain better.
Experiment aggressively without lowering the bar for accuracy, usability, or craft.
Partner with Marketing on key website experiences, launches, and campaigns.
Turn complex technical concepts into clear diagrams, visuals, and product stories.
Maintain consistency across the product, website, presentations, and sales materials.
Direct external agencies, contractors, or specialists when needed.
