You will partner with product security engineering and compliance teams to deliver designs that meet strict standards without compromise.
Lead the full UI/UX design cycle: research user journeys wireframes mockups prototypes and delivery
Translate security compliance accessibility and usability requirements into design solutions
Design with a security mindset (least privilege visibility error states alerts)
Produce high-fidelity prototypes and design assets consistent with brand accessibility and security guidelines
Collaborate with engineering product security and QA to ensure designs are implemented faithfully
Conduct usability testing feedback cycles iteration and validation
Maintain design system component library and UX guidelines under strict standards
Document design rationale constraints and trade-offs
Present designs and decisions to stakeholders auditors and clients
Domain / High-Security Experience
Minimum 5 years of UI/UX design experience in regulated security defense or government environments
Prior work on design projects for NATO / defense / BQA / classified or highly constrained domains
Design & Research Mastery
