depthfirst is building intelligent security agents that detect and remediate critical vulnerabilities across large codebases and open-source software. The founding team includes leaders from DeepMind, Databricks, Square, and Faire with deep expertise in AI, security, data, and infrastructure.
As a Designer, you will shape both how depthfirst's products work and how the company presents itself to the world. This is a flexible role for someone whose strengths may lean toward product design, brand design, or span both. The company does not expect equal experience across every area—they prioritize exceptional craft, strong judgment, and the ability to apply both to ambitious, unfamiliar problems.
On the product side, you will work closely with engineers, product, and AI researchers to make complex security systems intuitive, trustworthy, and powerful. You'll design product experiences from ambiguous problem briefs through polished execution, helping people understand, investigate, and act on complex code security and transparency systems.
On the brand side, you will translate technical ideas into clear, compelling stories across launches, campaigns, events, and customer touchpoints. You'll create brand work across the website, product launches, sales materials, events, editorial content, company storytelling, and out-of-home advertising.
Key responsibilities include: designing product experiences that make complex security systems accessible; translating AI and security concepts into clear, engaging narratives; building and evolving shared product and brand systems; prototyping and iterating at appropriate fidelity levels; collaborating across design, engineering, product, research, marketing, and go-to-market teams; and contributing beyond your primary discipline when projects benefit.
This is a hands-on role with meaningful ownership. You'll help define what the company builds, how it communicates, and how the design language evolves as the company grows.
