Our platform helps security teams find threats that others miss by transforming how organizations collect, analyze, and act on file-based intelligence. We're a small, high-impact team solving hard problems at the intersection of cybersecurity and large-scale data systems.

The Role

You’ll lead projects end-to-end, collaborating closely with product, engineering, and customers. We expect a broad range of design skills, and exceptional taste. You’ll join a team at the forefront of cybersecurity and AI, unlocking security teams to triage and investigate threats more rapidly and comprehensively than they ever have before.

• Great at turning complex user flows into intuitive experiences

• Strong prototyping skills with a focus on clear visual communication

• Comfortable with design systems and technical implementation

• Excellent grasp of visual design, UI patterns, and interaction principles

• Quick to ship, learn, and adapt fast

• You are an AI native, leveraging AI tools to augment yourself and your workflows

• Bonus: You ship to production, perhaps with a little help from AI

• Bonus: Experience designing SOC workflows e.g., SecOps, threat detection and response, and/or threat intelligence products

• Bonus: Experience designing AI products

What You’ll Do

• Craft detailed user flows and high-fidelity mockups for new features

• Own design projects from conception to delivery, collaborating with engineering or ideally implementing yourself with AI

• Be scrappy and hands on with any design assets needed

• Establish new scalable design processes that uphold quality standards

• Champion quick wins and impactful improvements

• Contribute to improving the design quality of Stairwell’s customer-facing AI

• Help set the bar for design quality and the culture for how design works at Stairwell
