Founding Designer

Software development is becoming autonomous. The fastest teams already work this way, and at Corridor, we are leading the way on secure development as the rest of the industry follows.
Security tools were designed for a world where a person wrote the code and a person reviewed it. That's changing quickly. Corridor is securing software factories. We are the security solution for software that builds itself at every level of autonomy. We are preventing vulnerabilities as agents write code, and guiding teams to help decide what's safe to ship.
We're a small, talented team, led by Jack Cable (Former CISA - Secure by Design), Ashwin Ramaswami (Former CISA, Stanford, and Schmidt Futures) and, Alex Stamos (Former CISO of Facebook, Yahoo, SentinelOne).
Corridor is backed by Conviction, with a $25M Series A led by Felicis and our customers include ElevenLabs, Lovable, Mercor, and Langchain.

As Founding Designer, you'll be responsible for Corridor's entire visual and product presence. You'll shape our brand identity and how our product feels and works. You'll ship the work that defines how we look and feel to candidates, customers, and investors. This is a 0→1 role with direct impact on both product quality and the go-to-market function and reports directly to the CTO.

• Ability to translate complex security products into clear, delightful interfaces and messaging

• Strategic thinker who moves fast: you ship iteratively and learn from users
