Product Designer

SUMMARY OF THE ROLE:

As a Product Designer at Maze, you'll define what product design looks like for AI agents in cybersecurity — a problem space where the design patterns don't exist yet. This is an early-hire role at a well-funded Series A startup building at the intersection of generative AI and security, and you'll own the product surface end-to-end while working directly with our Head of Product, engineering, and founders.

The product challenge is genuinely new. Our AI agents investigate vulnerabilities autonomously, surface findings with real context, and collaborate with security teams to cut through noise. Your job is to design how humans and agents work together — how trust gets built, how decisions get communicated, how complex security workflows become understandable. There's no playbook for this. You'll create one.

This role suits someone who operates closer to a product director than a screen-shipper — driving direction, influencing strategy, and making business-impact calls, alongside the visual craft to deliver them. You'll be using AI tools daily to move faster, but your craft is the floor: every design choice should hold up on its own merits, independent of how it was generated. Success looks like a design system shipped and adopted across the product, and concrete product outcomes — feature adoption, POC-to-customer conversion, and customer satisfaction with the experiences you ship.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION:

- Define AI-Agent UX Patterns: Design how security teams collaborate with autonomous AI agents — how investigations get presented, how trust is established, how humans steer the agent without slowing it down. You're inventing patterns, not applying existing ones.

- Drive Product Direction, Not Just Design: Operate as a product-led designer — shaping roadmap, challenging requirements, influencing leadership with research and business reasoning. The bar is "what should we build, and why" alongside "how should it look."

- Own the Product...
