Senior UX Designer (Developer Experience)

About the Role

At Chainguard, we’re building products that secure the software supply chain—without slowing developers down. We’re looking for a Senior UX Designer to help shape intuitive, high-performance experiences across our product suite. This role sits within the Experience team, the frontline for all new product offerings. You’ll work closely with engineering and product to design workflows that make complex security and infrastructure concepts feel simple, fast, and usable. You’ll play a key role in owning products from 0→1 and scaling them to thousands of users, with a focus on clarity, performance, and developer experience. In this role, you will wear multiple hats from time to time.

What You’ll Do

Design end-to-end user experiences for Chainguard products, from concept through launch and iteration
Translate complex technical systems (CI/CD, containers, supply chain security) into intuitive, developer-friendly workflows
Partner closely with engineering and product to ship features quickly and iteratively
Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs for web-based applications
Improve usability and performance of data-heavy interfaces (large datasets, dependencies, logs, etc.)
Help define and evolve design patterns and systems across the product suite
Incorporate AI-driven workflows into product experiences where relevant
Gather and incorporate user feedback directly from customers and end users to continuously improve the experience
Proactively articulate speculative concepts into feasible solutions

What We’re Looking For

8+ years of experience in UX/Product Design
Experience designing web applications at scale
Strong portfolio demonstrating: complex workflows, data-rich interfaces, user-centered approach and end-to-end product thinking

Experience designing for: developer tools, APIs / platforms, and infrastructure or security products
Experience designing interactions between AI systems and users
Experience with self-service workflows, First Time UX, and Product Led Growth

Proficiency in modern design tools (Figma, etc.)
Experience with design systems (e.g., Material UI or similar)
Proficiency in collecting feedback from users
Familiarity with Design Sprint and Agile development, bonus if they led design sprints that resulted into product launches

Travel

Remote-first with a few company gatherings per year.

About Us

We live and breathe our company values:

We are customer obsessed — We focus on delivering solutions to our customers that create value and make their lives better.
We have a bias for intentional action — We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast.
We don't take ourselves too seriously (but we do serious work) — We are solving an important problem which takes focus, but we also like to enjoy the journey.
We trust each other and assume good intentions — We're transparent with decisions to empower team members to make well informed decisions.

A few of the benefits we offer:

Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.

If your experience is close but doesn't fulfill all requirements, please apply. We're building the best team in technology and are focused on hiring "Chainguardians" with unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
