<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Title:</strong> Senior Product Designer — Enterprise Security Platform<br><strong>Location:</strong> Remote — United States; preference given to San Francisco Bay Area candidates<br><strong>Reports to:</strong> VP of Product & Design<br><strong>Focus:</strong> Approximately 80% Product Design / 20% Brand & Marketing Design<br><strong>Eligibility:</strong> U.S. citizenship is required due to the role’s support of federal government projects.</p> <h2>About RapidFort</h2> <p>RapidFort is a software supply chain security platform. We help enterprises understand what's running in their software, reduce vulnerability risk, and ship curated, near-zero-CVE container images, backed by runtime-informed analysis and automated attack surface reduction.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our users include security teams, platform engineers, developers, administrators, and enterprise leaders. We're Series A, with $42M raised, and we're a small, senior team moving quickly.</p> <h2>The role</h2> <p>This is a product-first design role.</p> <p> </p> <p>You'll own major parts of the RapidFort platform and work directly with Product and Engineering from early problem definition through shipped software.</p> <p> </p> <p>The problems are genuinely complex: thousands of vulnerabilities across images, clusters, and workloads; relationships between software artifacts; policies, permissions, and enterprise environments; and very different technical users with very different needs.</p> <p> </p> <p>We want someone who enjoys that complexity.</p> <p> </p> <p>You should be equally comfortable thinking about the overall system and getting into the details of how a table, filter, workflow, visualization, or interaction should behave.</p> <p> </p> <p>About 80% of your time will focus on product. The other 20% will help keep our website, launches, sales materials, and broader brand consistent with the product, in partnership with Marketing and external specialists.</p> <p> </p> <p>You'll start as a hands-on IC and the senior design voice at RapidFort. You'll help establish how design operates: how we frame problems, review work, collaborate with Engineering, use research and data, and decide what good looks like.</p> <p> </p> <p>As the company and design function grow, there is a clear opportunity to help build and lead the team.</p> <h2>What you'll do</h2> <h3>Own complex product experiences</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Design end-to-end workflows across the platform, from understanding risk to remediation, governance, and reporting.</p> </li> <li> <p>Redesign data-dense experiences such as vulnerability lists, image and workload inventories, cluster views, risk summaries, and operational dashboards.</p> </li> <li> <p>Make large datasets easier to navigate through strong use of tables, filters, search, comparison, hierarchy, visualization, and drill-down.</p> </li> <li> <p>Define information architecture and interaction models that allow the platform to grow coherently instead of accumulating disconnected features.</p> </li> <li> <p>Solve enterprise platform problems including roles and permissions, organizations and environments, policies, onboarding, audit, reporting, and administration.</p> </li> <li> <p>Design for security practitioners, developers, platform engineers, administrators, and executives without reducing every workflow to the same experience.</p> </li> <li> <p>Think in systems, not screens.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Work from problem to shipped product</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Partner with Product and Engineering to shape problems before jumping to solutions.</p> </li> <li> <p>Challenge assumptions and requirements when there is a simpler or better way to solve the customer problem.</p> </li> <li> <p>Move quickly from rough flows and concepts to prototypes, detailed interaction design, and production-ready UI.</p> </li> <li> <p>Test ideas early rather than waiting until they are polished.</p> </li> <li> <p>Join customer conversations, usability sessions, and product discovery.</p> </li> <li> <p>Use qualitative feedback, product analytics, and behavioral data to guide decisions.</p> </li> <li> <p>Stay involved through implementation and own the quality of what ships.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Build the design system</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Evolve our components, patterns, and interaction standards across navigation, data presentation, states, feedback, and enterprise workflows.</p> </li> <li> <p>Create systems that improve consistency without slowing down a fast-moving engineering team.</p> </li> <li> <p>Help Engineering reuse patterns rather than redesigning the same interaction repeatedly.</p> </li> <li> <p>Raise the quality bar while keeping the system pragmatic.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Use AI in the design process and product</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Use AI tools as a normal part of your workflow for research, exploration, prototyping, content, and iteration.</p> </li> <li> <p>Use modern prototyping and development tools to move quickly from an idea to something people can interact with.</p>
