      • Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for both web and mobile applications using industry-standard design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD).
      • Focus on usability and responsiveness to ensure designs work across various platforms and devices.
    • Data Visualization:

      • Translate complex threat data into clear, meaningful visualizations (e.g., graphs, charts, maps) that help users quickly identify trends, anomalies, and threats.
      • Apply best practices for presenting security data to ensure clarity, legibility, and quick insights while maintaining accuracy and context.
    • Usability Testing & Iteration:

      • Conduct usability testing and gather user feedback to identify design flaws and areas for improvement.

      • Continuously iterate on designs to optimize usability, accessibility, and user satisfaction.

Requirements

    • 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design, with a focus on creating designs for security tools, threat intelligence platforms, or other data-heavy applications.
    • A strong portfolio demonstrating your work in designing user interfaces for complex data-driven products, including dashboards, visualizations, and security-focused tools.
    • Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
    • Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, usability, and accessibility best practices.
    • Experience designing data visualizations, with a focus on presenting complex, technical data in an understandable and actionable way.
    • Knowledge of threat intelligence workflows, cybersecurity terminology, and common security tools (e.g., SIEMs, SOARs) is highly desirable.
    • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and working in cross-functional teams.
    • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present and explain design concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Analytical mindset with a keen eye for detail and problem-solving ability.
    • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
    • Able to commit 10-15 hours per week (on-going assignment)
  • Preferred Requirements:

    • Experience designing for security operations centers (SOCs) or working directly with cybersecurity professionals.
    • Understanding of security frameworks, threat modeling, and attack vectors.
    • Knowledge of design systems and creating reusable components for consistency and scalability.
