Job description

About Us

Cimento AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity training by using AI to build resilient, security-conscious teams. We're backed by operators and angels from Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Okta, etc.

We value creative spark over credentials and high agency over process. If your portfolio tells a story about how you think, we want to talk.

About The Role

As our founding designer, you'll drive design across the full Cimento product. You'll own work from concept to delivery, build our design system, and collaborate directly with engineering to ship polished, intuitive experiences.

This is the first dedicated design hire, a senior, high-ownership role for someone with exceptional taste who moves between strategy and execution without waiting for permission, and uses AI to work at a pace that shouldn't be possible for a team of one.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end product design, from discovery and wireframes to high-fidelity UI and shipped screens

• Design how security teams configure campaigns, launch phishing simulations, monitor results, and act on employee risk scores

• Build a design system (components, patterns, tokens) that scales with the team and product

• Partner with customers to validate designs early and fold feedback into rapid iteration

• Shape Cimento's visual identity and brand across product, marketing, and sales

• Use AI design and prototyping tools to compress timelines and expand your range

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time at startups where you owned the full design surface

• A portfolio that demonstrates strong UI craft, clear UX thinking, and a feel for making data-heavy products simple

• A track record of influencing product decisions and shipping. Not just designing, but getting work into users' hands and iterating on what you learn

• Ability to design complete workflows, including permissions, edge cases, errors, and operational states

• Comfort working closely with engineers and understanding frontend constraints

• Excellent communication skills and a bias toward transparency

• Genuine passion for building and comfort with ambiguity

Bonus Points

• Experience in cybersecurity, enterprise security, or compliance software

• Hands-on experience prototyping with AI tools (Claude Design, Figma AI, or similar)

What We Offer

• Meaningful equity as an early team member

• Competitive salary

• Direct impact on product, customers, and company direction

• A small team where your work is visible and valued
