Company mission
Expel is on a mission to make security easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to continuously improve.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a user experience designer with strong interaction skills and a curiosity for technically complex domains
- If you're the kind of designer who loves spending time with users, user analytics, knows how to get creative with experiments, and can turn a complicated problem into a simple workflow, we want to hear from you!
- Strong UX design practice, particularly in research, prototyping, interaction design, design systems, and workshop facilitation
- Curiosity and willingness to dive into the technical details with engineers, when needed
- Experience designing workflows and communicating information to users to make informed decisions
- Effective low-fi sketching and prototyping as a means to get feedback and iterate quickly—and the willingness to throw it all out and try again
- Clear articulation of the design problem, the tradeoffs you've made in your solution, and the impact of different approaches
- A high degree of comfort making decisions without all the information, and learning from the inevitable wrong turns
- Strong communication skills that ensure product partners are in the loop, understand project direction, know what's coming up next and one year down the road
- Minimum 4 years' experience on a cross-functional product team where you collaborated with product managers and engineers
- Experience in cybersecurity domain is preferred, but not required
- Experience with SaaS, e-commerce, productivity software, or industrial applications helps
- Facility using one of the popular UX design tools, Figma, Adobe XD (we use Figma, FWIW)
- Experimenting and adopting AI in your workflow
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
What the job involves
- In this role, you'll improve our core product, Workbench. This product enables our analysts to make decisions quickly and share those decisions with our customers
- Conduct user and market research to understand the personas, use cases, and jobs to be done
- Synthesise research insights and present findings to team members and leadership
- Work closely with engineers so you grasp the technical constraints and opportunities for creative experimentation
- Design lean experiments to test hypotheses, measure outcomes, and iterate rapidly
- Think big picture, guide product vision with other collaborators
- Collaborate with partners in product management, engineering, UX, and our Secure Operations leadership to guarantee we're taking on the right problems with the best solutions to scale the product
Our take
As ransomware and hacking threats rise, identifying and resolving breaches in security must be done quickly. Lack of transparency in cybersecurity makes it difficult for engineers to detect, understand, and fix the issues as fast as possible. Expel is aiming to redefine what a security operations centre and managed detection service look like in the modern age.
Though the company faces competition from the vast number of cybersecurity platforms, Expel positions itself as a viable alternative to the service delivery model of managed security service providers (MSSPs) by offering a comprehensive management platform that connects to its customers’ tech remotely through APIs, providing fast detection and clear solutions.
Having reached unicorn status, the company is establishing a stronger presence in the European and Asia-Pacific markets, capturing business in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its 2022 funding is being used to accelerate sustainable growth, continue the company's international expansion, and push forward with go-to-market initiatives.
