We design and build workflows to enable our customers to secure their applications and protect sensitive information data. We focus on enabling platform teams and their customers (typically developers) to adopt and improve strong security practices.

We do this with the user at heart and our 'beauty works better' principle in hand. We believe the design process can and should feel satisfying for stakeholders, continually improve with insights, and regularly deliver positive outcomes for our business.

You'll collaborate with a distributed, remote-first team to lead strategy and create seamless experiences for several personas in a highly technical space with complex challenges. You will work closely with Product Management and Engineering to research, define, and execute the strategy and roadmap.

Working with other accomplished Secure Product Line designers across many levels and backgrounds to take a holistic view across our on-prem and cloud offerings and to execute high-quality designs.

Your responsibilities include sharing feedback and collaborating on user flows, mockups, and prototypes. You will apply Hashicorp's Design system and help elevate our design quality. You can participate in a mentorship program either as a mentor, mentee, or both.
