Senior Product Designer

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our small, but growing design team of two. In this role, you'll work with engineers, PMs, and fellow designers to research, design, and refine product experiences that make security and software engineering workflows more intuitive. You'll bring clarity to complex, technical problems and will champion both craft and systems thinking to ensure our products are simple, consistent, and delightful to use.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence not only the product, but also the culture of design at a fast-moving growth-stage company while helping to secure some of the world’s most important code.

What you’ll do

• Lead and execute ambiguously scoped design initiatives within and across product teams.
• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to define product direction and roadmap decisions that are grounded in user needs.
• Advocate for simple and thoughtfully designed workflows across Semgrep products, owning UX metrics like task success, time on task, and support ticket volume.
• Conduct hands-on user research and synthesize and share the knowledge you gain about users and their workflows.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships and involve the wider team in the design process.
• Contribute to design critiques and mentor teammates. Raise the bar for design quality and contribute to a culture of thoughtful feedback.
• Create tools that enable non-designers to make better design decisions to ensure design becomes a multiplier across the organization.
• Establish design standards and processes that will serve as the foundation for our growing team, helping scale design’s impact.

Some example projects that you might work on include

• Designing experiences for AppSec engineers and developers who work in the IDE or through the MCP server.
• Reimagining the information architecture of the Semgrep app to better match user mental models and scale with our growing product surface.
• Evolving workflows like triage, vulnerability detection, and policy creation to be intuitive, trustworthy, and AI-powered.
• Shaping and codifying our design system components to enable the broader team to self-serve.

You are ideal for this role if you have

• 5+ years of product design experience working on digital products, ideally with exposure to engineer-focused, B2B, or enterprise products.
• A strong understanding of software engineering or experience designing for a technical audience.
• A track record for simplifying complex workflows and making abstract problems more concrete.
• Enthusiasm for user research and a curiosity that motivates you to dig deep into user pain points and behaviors.
• The ability to balance systems thinking with attention to detail, and to iterate quickly while maintaining a high quality bar.
• An interest in experimenting with and prototyping using emerging tools as part of your design process.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
