Product Designer - Remote Eligible

Product Designer

Cape is looking for a Product Designer to expand our current two-person design team as we grow our product offering to meet the needs across our consumer, enterprise, and government customer base. When it comes to privacy and security products, the threats our customers face are technically complex and the benefits of using Cape often happen silently behind the scenes. You will help distill this complexity, crafting compelling product experiences that make our customers feel more private and secure as they go about their daily lives. You will contribute to design needs that span the entire customer journey from our mobile app and web dashboards to marketing, ad creative or pitch decks. If you thrive at the intersection of user experience, product, and visual design — turning complex concepts into simple, elegant products — this role is for you. This position reports to the Head of Product, Brian Stoner.

Here are some ways you'll make an impact:

• Design and ship high quality product experiences – everything from low-friction consumer onboarding to network security monitoring tools for enterprises. We are a small, fluid team, supporting a broad product offering across consumer, enterprise, and government customers.
• Lead rapid, iterative design sprints, incorporating feedback from stakeholders, driving towards the most impactful product changes as quickly as possible.
• Translate complex privacy and security features into visually compelling product experiences.
• Own entire product areas and take responsibility for ensuring we are improving the usability and design of that product area over time.
• Build, maintain, and extend design system components to support growth and cross-product cohesion.
• Partner with marketing, sales, and BD to craft compelling visual stories that carry through the entire customer journey – from our ads, socials, pitch decks, website, through to our products.
• Participate in design critiques, product QA, and strive to continually raise the bar in terms of product and design quality.
• Create quick prototypes and conduct iterative user testing to validate ideas and uncover new opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with engineering across iteration, handoff, and QA to ensure designs are implemented with quality and intent.

Are you the candidate we're looking for? You have:

• 5–7+ years of experience designing digital products across mobile and web.
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong UX and visual design skills across 2-3 different in-depth case studies.
• Experience designing for at least one enterprise/B2B product
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• Hands-on experience building and scaling end-to-end design systems
• Great attention to detail and a strong eye for visual craft, such as composition, typography, and layout
• Prior startup experience or demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, define project scope, and prioritize work in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities.
• Interest in privacy and security

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for products in the privacy or security space

Compensation:

• We offer competitive compensation that is geo-adjusted based on your location, along with meaningful equity so you share in the value you help create. Our benefits include:
• 401(k) match
• 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents
• 12 weeks paid parental leave (for all parents, no waiting period)
• Stipends for
• Family-forming needs
• Gender-affirming care
• Unlimited PTO

Our culture:

• We are builders, and we choose to spend our time building things that matter. Many of our people have backgrounds in Defense Tech as well as the defense and intelligence community. We build to win.
• We hire excellent people, give them outsized responsibility, and trust them to execute at a high level. Everyone here has a track record of solving hard problems throughout their careers.
• We believe that personal privacy and national security interests are not inherently at odds, and can be reconciled via strong technology.
• We believe that companies exist to build awesome things and take care of their people. Our benefits reflect that– top-tier health care, 401(k) matching, and a generous vacation policy (that we actually use).
• We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, veteran status, and any other status. Achieving diversity across these categories will serve to make our company stronger and our product better.
