About RapidFort

RapidFort is a software supply chain security platform. We help enterprises understand what’s running in their software, reduce vulnerability risk, and ship curated, near-zero-CVE container images, backed by runtime-informed analysis and automated attack surface reduction.

Our users include security teams, platform engineers, developers, administrators, and enterprise leaders. We’re Series A, with $42M raised, and we’re a small, senior team moving quickly.

The role

This is a product-first design role.

You’ll own major parts of the RapidFort platform and work directly with Product and Engineering from early problem definition through shipped software.

The problems are genuinely complex: thousands of vulnerabilities across images, clusters, and workloads; relationships between software artifacts; policies, permissions, and enterprise environments; and very different technical users with very different needs.

We want someone who enjoys that complexity.

You should be equally comfortable thinking about the overall system and getting into the details of how a table, filter, workflow, visualization, or interaction should behave.

About 80% of your time will focus on product. The other 20% will help keep our website, launches, sales materials, and broader brand consistent with the product, in partnership with Marketing and external specialists.

You’ll start as a hands-on IC and the senior design voice at RapidFort. You’ll help establish how design operates: how we frame problems, review work, collaborate with Engineering, use research and data, and decide what good looks like.

As the company and design function grow, there is a clear opportunity to help build and lead the team.

What you’ll do

Own complex product experiences

• Design end-to-end workflows across the platform, from understanding risk to remediation, governance, and reporting.
• Redesign data-dense experiences such as vulnerability lists, image and workload inventories, cluster views, risk summaries, and operational dashboards.
• Make large datasets easier to navigate through strong use of tables, filters, search, comparison, hierarchy, visualization, and drill-down.
• Define information architecture and interaction models that allow the platform to grow coherently instead of accumulating disconnected features.
• Solve enterprise platform problems including roles and permissions, organizations and environments, policies, onboarding, audit, reporting, and administration.
• Design for security practitioners, developers, platform engineers, administrators, and executives without reducing every workflow to the same experience.
• Think in systems, not screens.

Work from problem to shipped product

• Partner with Product and Engineering to shape problems before jumping to solutions.
• Challenge assumptions and requirements when there is a simpler or better way to solve the customer problem.
• Move quickly from rough flows and concepts to prototypes, detailed interaction design, and production-ready UI.
• Test ideas early rather than waiting until they are polished.
• Join customer conversations, usability sessions, and product discovery.
• Use qualitative feedback, product analytics, and behavioral data to guide decisions.
• Stay involved through implementation and own the quality of what ships.

Build the design system

• Evolve our components, patterns, and interaction standards across navigation, data presentation, states, feedback, and enterprise workflows.
• Create systems that improve consistency without slowing down a fast-moving engineering team.
• Help Engineering reuse patterns rather than redesigning the same interaction repeatedly.
• Raise the quality bar while keeping the system pragmatic.

Use AI in the design process and product

• Use AI tools as a normal part of your workflow for research, exploration, prototyping, content, and iteration.
• Use modern prototyping and development tools to move quickly from an idea to something people can interact with.
• Help define how AI and agent-driven workflows should appear insi…
