[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @RapidFort, Inc.

Role Description

This is a product-first design role. You'll own major parts of the RapidFort platform and work directly with Product and Engineering from early problem definition through shipped software. The problems are genuinely complex:

• Thousands of vulnerabilities across images, clusters, and workloads
• Relationships between software artifacts
• Policies, permissions, and enterprise environments
• Very different technical users with very different needs

Approximately 80% of your time will focus on product design, while the other 20% will help keep our website, launches, sales materials, and broader brand consistent with the product.

You'll start as a hands-on IC and the senior design voice at RapidFort, helping establish how design operates.

What you'll do

• Own complex product experiences
• Design 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
• 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
• Think in systems, not screens
• Partner with Product and Engineering to shape problems before jumping to solutions
• Challenge assumptions and requirements
• Move quickly from rough flows and concepts to prototypes, detailed interaction design, and production-ready UI
• Test ideas early
• 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 what ships
• Evolve our components, patterns, and interaction standards
• Create systems that improve consistency without slowing down a fast-moving engineering team
• Use AI tools as a normal part of your workflow
• Help define how AI and agent-driven workflows should appear inside RapidFort
• Support brand and marketing (~20%)

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience, especially 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
• Strong product judgment
• Experience working directly and iteratively with Product Managers and Engineers
• Advanced Figma skills
• Practical, regular use of modern AI tools in your design process
• Clear, direct written and verbal communication

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• Total compensation package of $180,000, including base salary, performance bonus, and equity options
• 401(k) with company match
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Unlimited PTO

What we're not looking for

This isn't primarily a web, graphic, or production design role. Your core strength should be designing complex software products.

How we work

• Strong opinions, low ego
• Create momentum from ambiguity
• Show work early and iterate quickly
• Care about the details without losing sight of the system
• Work with Engineering, not over the wall
• Own outcomes, not just deliverables

Why join

• Unusual influence over both the product and the design function
• Work on complex enterprise problems
• Direct collaboration with Product and Engineering

To apply, include a portfolio link. A walkthrough of one complex, data-heavy product you helped take from problem to shipped experience tells us more than ten polished shots.
