Job description

Nightfall AI (www.nightfall.ai) is the unified platform that prevents data leaks and enables secure collaboration by protecting sensitive data and controlling how it's shared. For decades, legacy data leak prevention (DLP) solutions have failed to adequately protect sensitive information. Traditional DLP is outdated, intrusive, and complex - it wasn't designed for today's modern enterprise where users continuously share data across interconnected SaaS applications, endpoints, and now generative AI. Nightfall AI is the first AI-native DLP solution. We leverage AI to achieve twice the accuracy with a fraction of the false positives that overwhelm security teams. Nightfall does this without disrupting modern work patterns. Our AI-native platform spans sensitive data protection across SaaS, email, data exfiltration prevention on SaaS, endpoints, and data encryption. Nightfall's Developer Platform provides an open, flexible environment for developers to integrate our data classification and protection capabilities anywhere, including establishing trust boundaries for AI model building and consumption.

About the Position:

We're seeking a highly skilled UX designer to lead UX design and help us drive towards making Nightfall AI a benchmark for UX designers. You'll lead the design of intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly experiences across our products and platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Create high-quality deliverables throughout the design process including wireframes, user flows, prototypes and pixel-perfect visual design.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product management, and other cross-functional teams from concept to implementation of features.
  • Conduct user research, analyze user feedback, and translate insights into actionable design recommendations. Build strong relationships with customers to ensure designs address user needs.
  • Develop and maintain design system, guidelines, and best practices. Partner with engineering to ensure precise implementation of design specifications.
  • Communicate design decisions and solutions to stakeholders, including executives, product managers, and engineers.

Qualifications

  • A minimum of 4 to 6 years of hands-on UX design experience for software products.
  • Strong creative and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail and commitment to high quality execution.
  • Strong proficiency in leveraging AI tools throughout the design process - from research and ideation to prototyping and production of high-fidelity UX design.
  • Self-motivated approach to finding optimal solutions to complex problems. Great listening skills with emphasis on understanding diverse perspectives.
  • The portfolio showcases your interaction design expertise, visual design skills, and creative problem-solving ability.
  • Experience with design tools, such as Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, or InVision.
  • Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.

This role is not for:

  • Those uncomfortable with ambiguity, advocating for solutions, or driving the end-to-end design process forward.
  • Designers who prefer to complete their work and hand it off without involvement in implementation.

About Nightfall:

Nightfall is a cybersecurity startup dedicated to helping organizations secure and manage their sensitive data. As a leading enterprise technology company, our product affects the personal data that people entrust businesses to store & process with care every day. Critical data in modern organizations is often sprayed across a broad set of cloud data silos, and it’s a herculean task for security & compliance teams to monitor, manage, and protect this highly sensitive data. Via machine learning, our product makes it easy for organizations to discover, classify, and protect this sensitive data across their cloud footprint - such as their corporate SaaS, data infrastructure, and even their own apps. In doing so, we prevent data leakage, provide unprecedented data visibility & protection across the cloud, and enable compliance. We’re a technology startup founded in San Francisco, well-funded by leading institutional investors like Bain and Venrock, and a cadre of security & IT leaders from Okta, Salesforce, Atlassian, Splunk, FireEye, and more.
