About Vega

Vega is one of the fastest-growing startups in cybersecurity, redefining security analytics and operations with an AI-native platform for the SOC. We are building the next-generation operating system for security teams. Vega is already delivering real impact at some of the world’s largest organizations - improving detection, unlocking the value of their security data, and reducing cost and complexity. With HQs in New York and TLV, we're looking for people who want to be a part of the next rocket-ship in cyber.

About the role

You'll own vega.io and everything around it - landing pages, blog infrastructure, interactive experiences, and the component library that lets the whole team move fast without losing visual quality.

You'll be part of Vega's in-house creative studio, working side by side with brand and motion designers. This is not a role where you implement someone else's designs - you'll design and build, and your voice will shape how the brand shows up on the web. You'll also co-own BrandOS, our living design system, making sure the brand stays consistent and scalable across every surface.

You'll work in Astro, ship to production yourself, and partner closely with the content and marketing teams. If you love the seam where design and engineering meet, this is the role.

What you'll do

  • Own vega.io end to end: design, build, ship, iterate
  • Build and maintain our component library and living design system (BrandOS) in collaboration with the design team
  • Manage and evolve content through our CMS (Directus), working closely with the marketing and content teams
  • Translate brand direction into interactive web experiences: scroll-driven storytelling, ROI calculators, product tours, campaign microsites
  • Help shape how the brand evolves on the web, alongside the rest of the design team
  • Bring motion to the site - subtle interactions, micro-animations, the occasional bigger moment
  • Own deployments via Git and Vercel, and keep the site fast, accessible, and production-ready
  • Help define how design and web come together as we scale the function
Requirements

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience in design and/or frontend development
  • A portfolio that shows design sensibility and the ability to build what you design, using modern frameworks (Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, or similar)
  • Fluent in HTML, CSS, JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Comfortable in Figma and able to design what you build
  • Comfortable working in Git, owning deploys, and shipping without a safety net
  • Experience with headless CMS platforms (Directus or similar)
  • Motion code experience (GSAP, Framer Motion, Lottie)
  • Genuine understanding of performance, accessibility, and responsive craft
  • Excited about being part of a small team where your work is highly visible from day one

Nice to have

  • Background working alongside marketing, brand, or content teams
  • Built a design system or component library from scratch
  • Experience with canvas-based development or interactive games
  • Cybersecurity, developer tools, or B2B SaaS experience
  • React and/or Tailwind experience
  • Familiarity with SEO best practices and tag management tools (GTM)
  • Interest in pixel art

Salary ranges: $160K-$220K, depending on experience and location

Skills Required

  • 4+ years of experience in design and/or frontend development
  • Portfolio demonstrating design sensibility and ability to build designs using modern frameworks
  • Fluency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and/or TypeScript
  • Comfort with Figma and designing what you build
  • Experience working with Git, owning deployments, and shipping independently
  • Experience with headless CMS platforms such as Directus
  • Motion coding experience with GSAP, Framer Motion, or Lottie
  • Understanding of web performance, accessibility, and responsive design
  • Background working alongside marketing, brand, or content teams
  • Experience building a design system or component library from scratch
  • Experience with canvas-based development or interactive games
  • Cybersecurity, developer tools, or B2B SaaS experience
  • Experience with React and/or Tailwind
  • Familiarity with SEO best practices and Google Tag Manager
  • Interest in pixel art
