About the Role:

We're reimagining how people connect with and protect what matters most. As part of a global company known for brands like Norton, LifeLock, Moneylion, and Avast, we're building new products and experiences that address real-world challenges with clarity, purpose, and empathy.

We're also on a mission to become an AI-first company-infusing intelligent systems, automation, and personalization into everything we do. From how we design user experiences to how we protect identities and enable secure financial wellness, AI is central to our strategy, and design plays a key role in making it accessible, trustworthy, and human.

This is an opportunity to join an established yet entrepreneurial environment, where your craft is valued, your impact is felt, and your ideas help shape the future of digital security and secure financial wellness.

We're looking for a Principal Product Designer with exceptional interaction and visual design craft and a strong track record of solving hard user and business problems in consumer products.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Principal Product Designer, you'll play a critical role in defining and delivering user-first solutions across mobile, desktop and web platforms. You'll collaborate closely with product, research, and engineering partners to translate strategy into thoughtful, high-quality experiences.

• Shape strategy through design: Translate complex problems and abstract ideas into elegant, usable solutions grounded in user needs and business goals.
• Raise the bar for craft: Own end-to-end experience quality-from flows and information architecture to interaction details and visual polish-so that every touchpoint feels cohesive, confident, and human.

• Design intelligent experiences: Bring clarity and usability to AI-powered products by designing interactions that feel natural, transparent, and trustworthy.
• Think systematically: Design scalable design patterns and frameworks to make more room for the hardest problems.
• Turn insights into impact: Translate complex problems and abstract ideas into simple, usable, and delightful solutions grounded in user needs and data.
• Prototype and test with AI: Explore new possibilities through discovery, rapid prototyping, and user testing-especially around how AI can simplify tasks or personalize experiences.
• Collaborate and influence: Partner across disciplines to align design outcomes with user needs, business goals, and AI capabilities.
• Champion design quality: Ensure every touchpoint is cohesive, accessible, human-centered and beautiful. Give and solicit feedback to ensure we maintain a high bar for craft.

About you:

• 8+ years of product design experience, with majority shipping mobile-first B2C products at scale.
• Experience in cybersecurity or financial services is helpful, but curiosity, adaptability and a maker's mindset matter more.
• Able to take large, ambiguous problem spaces and break them into clear, actionable steps.
• Exceptional interaction and visual design craft-best-in-class layout, navigation, IA, UI, motion, and micro-interactions.
• Strategic, systems thinker who knows how design drives user value and business growth across journeys and platforms.
• Experienced in creating design systems, standards, and principles that raise quality across a product organization.
• Mastery of end-to-end product design: discovery, flows and IA, high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and implementation partnership.
• Strong intuition for usability, complemented by deep user empathy and a belief in data-informed decision-making.
• Influential, collaborative partner who leverages design to shape product and engineering decisions.
• Curious, adaptable, and comfortable working across time zones and cultures; startup or solo-designer experience is a plus.
• Experience with AI-driven features (personalization, recommendations, automation) is a strong plus.
• You're obsessed with beautiful experiences and thoughtful details.

Skills:

- Expert in interaction design for mobile and responsive web, including complex flows, navigation, and micro-interactions.

- Strong visual design craft with a refined sense of typography, color, and composition tailored to consumer brands.

- Advanced design systems skills: creating, documenting, and evolving component libraries and patterns used across multiple products.

- Proficient with modern design and prototyping tools o express motion, states, and end-to-end experiences.

- Comfortable working with data and experimentation (qualitative insights, analytics, A/B tests) to inform and iterate on designs.

- Experience designing AI-powered workflows (e.g., assistants, recommendations, automation) with a focus on transparency and control.

- Strong storytelling and communication skills-able to frame problems, present trade-offs, and align partners around design decisions.
Personal Attributes:

- User-obsessed and highly empathetic, with a strong bias toward human, accessible, and trustworthy experiences.

- Strategic yet hands-on: equally energized by shaping strategy and sweating the craft details.

- Systems thinker who sees connections across journeys, surfaces, and teams-and designs for long-term scalability.

- Collaborative and low-ego, skilled at building trusted relationships and influencing without authority.

- Curious and experimental, eager to explore new patterns-especially around AI-and learn through discovery and iteration.

- Clear, candid communicator who gives and receives feedback well and raises the bar for design quality.

- Resilient and adaptable, comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and distributed teams and time zones.
