Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated experience designing enterprise-grade security, compliance, or DevSecOps products
- Strong portfolio showing end-to-end product design work, from problem framing through shipped solutions
- Experience designing holistic workflows and translating complex technical concepts into clear, user-centered experiences
- Excellent collaboration skills and experience fostering partnerships across multiple product teams and stakeholders
- Systems thinking and experience contributing to or working with design systems
- Experience conducting research and making strategic decisions about when and how to validate design decisions
- Strong visual design skills with the ability to balance system consistency with custom solutions
- Experience working in remote, distributed teams
- Proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools
What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Designer for Security, Policies, you'll own the design of policy configuration and compliance workflows that help organizations enforce security standards, meet regulatory requirements, and govern the SDLC.
- This role focuses on translating complex governance requirements into intuitive, scalable, usable experiences for AppSec professionals, Compliance managers, and Developers
- Your primary focus will be on Security Policies—designing experiences that enable teams to define security rules, configure enforcement mechanisms, manage exceptions, and demonstrate compliance.
- You'll work within the broader Security & Compliance portfolio, ensuring policy experiences integrate seamlessly with vulnerability management, application security scanners, and remediation workflows.
- You'll partner closely with your Product Management and Engineering counterparts to deliver cohesive policy experiences that meet user needs
- Own design for security policy and compliance experiences – Lead end-to-end design for policy configuration, compliance reporting, and SDLC governance. Deliver usable solutions that solve immediate user problems while maintaining quality and consistency
- Translate technical complexity into clear experiences – Partner with security experts to understand policy configuration, compliance frameworks, and enforcement logic, then design experiences that make complex governance accessible for different user types—from AppSec professionals configuring detailed rules to developers understanding what's blocking their work
- Partner cross-functionally – Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and teams across multiple security product groups to shape priorities, scope MVCs, and ensure design quality and intent is maintained through development and implementation. Build strong relationships with counterparts and adjacent teams (vulnerability management, scanners, CI/CD) to align on cohesive experiences and ensure policy experiences connect appropriately
- Deliver high craft quality – Demonstrate strong interaction design, visual design, and attention to detail. Participate in design reviews, give constructive feedback, and maintain high standards in your own work
- Contribute to the design system – Actively contribute to Pajamas by identifying reusable patterns, proposing new components, and ensuring your group's work extends and adheres to system standards. Balance leveraging existing system components with recognizing when unique solutions are needed
- Ground work in research – Conduct usability studies, competitor evaluations, and formative research. Collaborate with UX Research on problem validation and incorporate insights to fulfill user and business needs. Engage with users and the wider GitLab community to understand their needs and work toward long-term solutions
- Communicate designs clearly – Create wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high-fidelity designs that clearly communicate your vision. Present your work to stakeholders, articulate your rationale, and build alignment on solutions. Document decisions so others can understand your thinking and exemplify effective asynchronous communication
- Practice effective iteration – Break down designs to fit the release cadence. Review merge requests with user-facing changes. Advocate for and guide others in adopting effective iteration practices within your group. Mitigate the risk for deferred UX with MVCs and help prioritize usability issues
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
