The Role
Lead UX design strategy for an AI-powered enterprise security platform. Define interaction models for AI agents, developer tools, web applications, and conversational interfaces; create trustworthy AI experiences with explainability and human control; design scalable policy, audit, and reporting workflows; conduct customer research; evolve the design system; mentor designers; and collaborate with product, engineering, marketing, sales, and executives.

About Us

AI coding is the largest use case of enterprise AI adoption today, as is evident from the success of Anthropic on Claude Code, Cursor’s $60B exit to SpaceX, and Cognition’s $48B valuation.
The bottleneck now has moved from code generation to security and safety - AI agents write code faster than any team can review it, and over 65% of the lines of code produced by them are insecure. Vulnerabilities are piling up 16x faster than companies can fix them, and adversaries are able to exploit these new vulnerabilities within hours.
AURI by Endor Labs closes that gap. It runs inside the harness where coding agents work, through hooks, skills and MCP, so the controls sit outside the model and every agent action is visible. Underneath is our patented code context graph, which maps code, open source, containers and infrastructure. It shows which vulnerabilities can actually be reached and exploited, then delivers fixes that won’t break the application. Security teams get evidence instead of noise, and developers get fixes instead of tickets.
The companies building AI trust us to secure it - our customers include OpenAI, SpaceX, DoorDash, Dropbox, Atlassian, MongoDB, Snowflake, Robinhood and Peloton to name a few.
Endor Labs is the third company from Founder & CEO Varun Badhwar, who built Prisma Cloud, the platform that helped define cloud security, from $0 to $300M ARR at Palo Alto Networks. We’ve raised $163M from Lightspeed, Coatue, DFJ Growth, Salesforce Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital.
Software runs everything around our lives today - banking, hospitals, airports and power grids. AI now writes more of it every day, and our mission is to make sure the world can trust that software. Come build that future with us.

About the Role

AI agents now write a growing share of enterprise code, and the way people interact with security is changing with it. Developers increasingly work through agents rather than dashboards, and security teams need to govern what those agents do with evidence they can defend. Nobody has defined what great looks like here yet.

Our users range from developers who want answers inside the tools they already use, to security leaders who manage risk across thousands of applications. Designing for both, in dense, technical and high-stakes workflows, is the job.

As a Staff UX Designer, you’ll set the design direction for our platform, define how people and AI work together in it, and raise the bar for design quality across the company.

How You'll Make an Impact
  • Set the design vision and strategy for your products, and align product, engineering and leadership around it.
  • Define new interaction models for AI- and agent-driven experiences, beyond traditional GUIs.
  • Lead design for the most ambiguous, cross-cutting problems, spanning web apps, developer tools and conversational interfaces.
  • Establish principles for trustworthy AI experiences: explainability, confidence, evidence and human control over automation.
  • Shape experiences for governing complex systems at scale: policy, auditability and reporting across large organizations.
  • Drive a research program with customers, and use it to influence the roadmap, not just the UI.
  • Own the evolution of our design system and design practices, and mentor designers across the team.
  • Partner with product marketing and sales on demos, launches and customer evaluations where the experience is the differentiator.
What We're Looking For
  • 8+ years of product or UX design experience, including senior or staff-level ownership of complex products.
  • A portfolio that shows design strategy and shipped outcomes, not just polished screens.
  • Proven experience designing AI, LLM or agentic products, including novel interaction patterns.
  • A track record of influencing roadmap and strategy across product, engineering and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience building or scaling a design system and mentoring other designers.
  • Hands-on craft: you still design and prototype, including in code or with AI tools.
  • Clear writing and communication with customers, engineers, and executives.

Nice to have: experience designing security products; B2B or enterprise SaaS experience with complex workflows; a background in software engineering or developer experience; experience as a founding or early designer at a startup.

What We Do

At Endor Labs, we’re building the modern Application Security platform for the AI-driven era of software development. Our mission is simple but bold: help every organization ship secure software fast with clarity on what matters, and the power to fix it quickly. Today’s AppSec teams are buried in noisy alerts and fragmented tools, while developers race to innovate using open source and AI-generated code. This gap between speed and security puts both innovation and trust at risk. Endor Labs bridges that gap. We unify intelligent code reviews, static analysis, and guided remediation into one connected platform that gives security teams visibility and developers clear, actionable fixes without slowing them down. Our technology deeply analyzes how your software actually works, building a complete graph across first-party, open-source, and AI-generated code. With this context, Endor Labs filters out 92 % of false positives and surfaces the risks that truly matter. Developers can fix vulnerabilities six times faster, automate reviews with AI, and even enable guardrails for AI coding assistants to write secure code by default. We’re trusted by organizations like OpenAI, Snowflake, Peloton, Dropbox, Robinhood, and Rubrik to secure some of the most advanced codebases in the world. Backed by top investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, DFJ Growth, Coatue, Salesforce Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital, and Citi Ventures, Endor Labs is one of the fastest-growing companies in cybersecurity. But beyond our technology, what truly sets Endor Labs apart is our culture of builders. We’re a team of passionate engineers, researchers, and security experts, over a third with PhDs, united by curiosity, rigor, and the belief that great engineering and great security go hand in hand. We move fast, value craft, and empower each other to innovate boldly while staying grounded in impact.

Why Work With Us

We’re a team of curious builders redefining software security for the AI era. Our culture values ownership, collaboration, and bold thinking where every employee has the freedom to innovate and the support to thrive.
