Job description

Mondoo is creating security experiences that companies leverage to keep their users and data safe from hackers around the world. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who explores wide, decides clearly, and helps build the thing — not just in Figma, but in production. You'll partner with product, engineering, and leadership to push past obvious answers, prototype real ideas, and turn the best direction into shipped craft. This isn't a hand-off role. It's a "let's actually build it" role — with components, design system work, and real code happening alongside the design itself. This is a high-impact IC reporting to our CPO and co-founder. You'll shape how design shows up across a product that protects some of the world's most critical systems — and how our team builds it.

What You’ll Achieve

• Champion our design principles in all of your work.
• Explore broadly before converging. Diverge on layout, structure, and approach — then pick a direction and commit
• Lead design on core platform initiatives from concept through craft
• Translate dense technical workflows into experiences humans can actually understand
• Partner with engineers to prototype real interactions — in code, not just clickable Figma
• Build and extend our design system in production, using tools like Claude Code alongside engineering
• Challenge the conventional answer when it isn't the right one. Quietly, with better work
• Raise the bar for the whole team through what you ship

What You’ll Bring

• Solid product design experience, ideally with time spent at early-stage or fast-moving startups where you had tons of ownership.
• A considered portfolio with zoomed-in detail and zoomed-out strategy.
• Craft obsession: Strong command of design foundations like typography, space, color theory, as well as UX clarity, and micro-interaction care.
• Comfort prototyping with code. You're not afraid to open a terminal, work next to engineers, or use AI tooling like Claude Code to ship real components
• A bias toward building. You don't think the design is done when the Figma is
• Strong inclination toward collaboration, comfort operating independently and remotely
• The ability to tell stories, and push past the obvious
• Experience designing for technical audiences a plus (developers, security engineers, DevOps)
• Figma mastery. It's our tool of choice, but increasingly not the only one
• Speak the web. Read HTML and CSS without flinching. Inspect and edit a page comfortably. If you can write some, even better. If you've shipped real code, better still.

• Recruiter Screen: 30 minute phone call with a Talent Partner
• Hiring Manager Screen: 45 minute Google Meet with Dominik Richter

What we offer

• Remote-first. We’re a fully remote team, so build your best setup where you feel most productive.
• Own a piece of the journey. Every teammate gets meaningful equity on top of their salary.
• We’ve got you covered. 100% of your medical, dental, and vision is paid for by Mondoo. We also cover 50% for your dependents.
• Take the time you need. Our flexible PTO lets you recharge, travel, or just take a breather.
• Family matters. 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave (birth, adoption, or foster), and 8 weeks fully paid paternity leave.
• Set up your space. A $500 home office stipend when you join—and we’ll refresh it for you every two years.
