SummaryMenlo Security is expanding data-centric protection across its browser security platform - covering DLP, file inspection and sanitization, sensitive data classification, and secure file handling workflows. We are hiring a Product Designer to own the end-to-end user experience for this vertical, partnering closely with product management and engineering to design admin-facing policy controls, end-user file interaction flows, and risk and incident surfaces that make complex data protection decisions feel simple and trustworthy.
This is a high-ownership role on a small, tightly connected design team where one person's work shapes an entire product area. Much of what you design sits on top of AI/ML-driven classification and detection, so you will be defining how automated decisions are explained, trusted, and overridden by the people who depend on them. Our design team also uses AI-assisted research synthesis and prototyping tools to move from customer signal to testable concept faster, and we expect this role to help set that practice.
Outcomes & KPIsKey Outcome(s) Owned:- Own the design quality and usability of Menlo's data security and file security surfaces end to end - from admin policy configuration through end-user file interactions and incident remediation.
- Make complex, rules-based data protection decisions understandable and actionable for the security admins and end users who rely on them.
Success Metrics / KPIs:- Reduced admin time-to-configure for DLP and file security policies.
- Decreased support tickets related to policy setup confusion or false positives.
- Increased design system component reuse across data security surfaces.
- Positive usability benchmarks from admin console testing.
- Strong cross-functional alignment scores from product and engineering partners, per the team's existing competency framework cadence.
What You'll Do- Own end-to-end design for data security and file security features: DLP policy configuration, file scanning and sanitization flows, sensitive data detection alerts, and quarantine and remediation workflows.
- Translate complex security and compliance logic - data classification rules, file-type policies, content inspection results - into admin experiences that are configurable without being overwhelming.
- Design the interaction patterns that make AI/ML-driven classification and detection legible to users: confidence and risk indicators, explanations for why a file was flagged, and clear paths to review, override, or appeal an automated decision.
- Design end-user-facing moments - file download warnings, redaction previews, access requests - that balance security friction with productivity.
- Partner with product management and engineering to scope features, run discovery with customers and admins, and iterate through delivery, using AI-assisted tools to synthesize interview transcripts, support tickets, and usability sessions into prioritized insight.
- Extend the design system with security-specific patterns (risk indicators, policy builders, data flow visualizations), using AI-assisted prototyping and design tooling to explore and test variations quickly before committing to a direction.
- Mentor designers on the team and contribute to team-wide craft and process standards, including how the team adopts AI tools responsibly in its workflow.
Functional CompetenciesRequired:- 4+ years of product design experience, including B2B or enterprise application audiences.
- Experience designing for technical or admin audiences - policy builders, rules engines, dashboards, or other configuration-heavy interfaces.
- Systems thinking: able to map multi-step workflows with conditional logic and edge cases, such as policy conflict resolution and exception handling.
- A portfolio that shows complex, rules-based systems simplified into usable interfaces.
- Proficiency in Figma and modern design system workflows.
- Working fluency with AI-assisted design and research tools - for example, using LLM-based tools to synthesize qualitative research or accelerate prototyping - with the judgment to validate outputs before they inform design decisions.
Preferred / Nice to Have:- Experience partnering with product management and engineering in an agile environment, including presenting design rationale to cross-functional and executive stakeholders.
- Familiarity with data security or file security concepts: DLP, content inspection, sensitive data classification.
- Knowledge of AI/ML-driven products or AI security - for example, prompt injection risk, AI-assisted threat detection, or model governance.
- Experience mentoring or growing other designers.
