ABOUT US
Cracken is an applied AI lab building the world's first full kill chain proactive cyber platform. Built by cyber warfare-experienced operators and AI researchers, Cracken keeps digital infrastructure resilient so businesses and societies can operate.
THE ROLE
We're looking for a Product Designer who also builds, someone who can design in Figma and ship in code, to own the end-to-end UI/UX of our AI-native cybersecurity platform. You will shape how security teams interact with an AI agent in high-stakes, real-world workflows. That means clean, precise interfaces where every interaction is intentional and every pixel earns its place.
This is a hands-on role. You design it, you build it.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own product design from research and concept through to production-ready code across the core product
Build and maintain the product design system, in Figma and in React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
Translate complex security workflows into interfaces that feel intuitive to practitioners
Collaborate directly with backend engineers and security researchers to ship features fast
Define interaction patterns for human-in-the-loop AI experiences
Lead design reviews and contribute to component architecture and frontend standards
MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE
4+ years designing and building user-facing products as a product designer, design engineer, or equivalent hybrid role
Strong proficiency in ReactJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS
Ability to own design decisions end-to-end without a dedicated design team
Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and responsive design
Experience working directly with engineers and PMs in fast-moving environments
TECHNICAL STACK
Experience with tools such as:
Figma (design systems, prototyping, and developer handoff)
ReactJS + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
WebSockets, Docker
NICE TO HAVE
Experience designing for developer tools, data-intensive dashboards, or AI interfaces
Familiarity with human-in-the-loop workflows, LLM agent UX, or security tools
Contributions to open-source UI frameworks or design systems
Background in early-stage startups or cross-functional product squads
Interest in cybersecurity and/or AI-enabled tooling. Curiosity is enough; deep expertise is not required
WHY CRACKEN?
Real-world impact: Our technology is validated in high-stakes, real-world environments and grounded in hands-on internal research.
Team with a mission: A Ukrainian-heavy international team of PhDs, professors, and senior industry engineers, driven by intrinsic motivation and real-world adversity.

What We Do
Release the Cracken. Defend what matters. Cracken is the first Red-AI Copilot built for real offense, not an ordinary CNAPP or endpoint security. We arm defenders with nation-state grade attack logic at machine speed, under full human command. Not black boxes. No fluff. Born on the hardest frontlines of cyber conflict -- Ukraine, US, EU -- Cracken is built by operators who know what it means to face adversaries that don't play fair. We are turning that battlefield DNA into the only agentic AI platform that simulates live, adaptative attacks across cloud, endpoint, and hybrid environments. Why it matters: ⚡Human-in-the-Loop control: every action is transparent, auditable, and reversible. CISOs don't trust black-box AI. We give them speed and oversight. ⚡Accuracy over noise: no posture fluff, no false positives. Only validated, exploitable risk that matters. ⚡100% faster coverage than manual red teams. ⚡Undetected vulnerabilities caught before exploitation (proven in North America and Ukraine's critical infrastructure). ⚡Zero black-box risk with audit trails, rollbacks, and operator trust at the core. ⚡Regulatory ready for CISA, EU AI Act, and global oversight. ⚡Quantifiable adoption with seamless integration into CI/CD multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Cracken is not another CNAPP, CIEM or compliance dashboard. Those show posture. We show truth. Attackers don't wait, neither should you. ?Investors, customers, and security leaders: join us in weaponizing defense. Let's release the Cracken! www.cracken.ai
