With UpGuard, organizations leverage our security expertise and software to automate what was once laborious, spreadsheet-driven processes–whether it's monitoring the attack surface of hundreds of vendors or assessing the security of their own infrastructure. UpGuard is used by some of the world’s largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative companies.
Our Product team at UpGuard comprises of our Product Management, Product Support, Engineering, Design, Data Leaks Detection, and Third Party Risk Management Services. Our Product team’s vision is to become the leader in the Cyber VRM category by providing a best-in-class SaaS platform for organizations to manage their third-party risk and external attack surface. Our purpose as a Product team is simply to build a product that enables this. We aim to build a product that users love and come to rely on, and one that regularly and consistently improves.
Why are we hiring this role?
As a Senior Product Designer at UpGuard, you’ll play a key role in shaping features for our growing cybersecurity SaaS platform. You’ll collaborate with PMs, engineers, and designers to shape refined, user-focused experiences from early concept to final delivery. While some projects will lean toward fast-paced execution, many will give you the opportunity to help define the problem, explore solutions, and see your work through to launch. You’ll also have the opportunity to work closely with users from some of the world’s most well-known companies, designing solutions that help them manage risk, stay secure, and make smarter decisions.
What will you do?
