Product Designer II - Vault

US (Remote - EST/GMT-4) #LI-Remote

Meet the Team

Vault is HashiCorp’s multi-cloud security platform. Its enterprise users are some of the world's largest finance, healthcare, and technology companies. 

Vault’s core use cases are in Secrets Lifecycle Management, Encryption, and Access/Identity Management. The Vault product design team is passionate about helping our customers reduce the risk of data exposure and security breaches. 

You’ll collaborate tightly with designers, engineers, and product managers across our globally distributed team to act on high-priority roadmap initiatives. You’ll be one part of a close-knit team of product designers working on Vault, and a much larger community of designers working across Hashicorp’s Infrastructure, Cloud Platform, and Security products.

What We Do

We design and build workflows to enable our customers to secure their applications and protect sensitive information data. We focus on enabling platform teams and their customers (typically developers) to adopt and improve strong security practices. 

We do this with the user at heart and our ‘beauty works better’ principle in hand. We believe the design process can and should feel satisfying for stakeholders, continually improve with insights, and regularly deliver positive outcomes for our business.

What You’ll Do

Vault is a complex product customers rely on to secure their most critical systems and workloads. If you love solving interesting, novel problems, this is a role you’ll enjoy. You will work closely with other Product Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers to research, define, execute, and deliver high-quality designs.

As part of a distributed, remote-first team, you’ll create seamless experiences by delivering research plans, user flows, mockups, and prototypes to help communicate design directions to the team. You will apply Hashicorp’s Helios Design System and help elevate our design quality.
