The posting

About the Role

Abnormal is built to look and feel like nothing else in security: precision-engineered, a little rebellious, and a few steps ahead of now. We protect more than 5,000 customers, including 30% of the Fortune 500, with a platform that stops the attacks everyone else misses. We need someone to make it look like the future it is.

We're looking for an Art Director who is first and foremost an artist. This is not a creative production role. You will own Abnormal's aesthetic direction, a singular visual identity with a bold and cinematic sensibility, and communicate that vision clearly to every team, vendor, and collaborator who executes creative work. You'll work closely with our CEO, CMO, VP of Product Marketing, and VP of Revenue Marketing to internalize Abnormal's worldview, then make it your own, ideally pushing it further than we imagined.

This role is distinct from our creative services function, which runs the production engine. Your job is to set the vision, protect its integrity, and elevate it. At Abnormal, you'll do the most exciting work of your career because you'll be shaping how the future of cybersecurity is seen, in a company where AI is at the core of the product and the way we work.

The ideal candidate is a concept artist at heart, someone who has spent their career in sci-fi film, cyberpunk or sci-fi video games, or similarly high-craft visual storytelling environments. Specifically, we want someone who knows how to design computer interfaces, holograms, and imagined future worlds, with the kind of detail that maps to a visionary technology company and its products: the in-world UI of a sci-fi game or film, the readout on a futuristic digital weapon, the menu architecture of a spacecraft. Not characters. Not atmospheric environments. Designed systems and objects with detail and intention. You see and express vision. You don't just execute.

What You Will Do

  • Define and own Abnormal's visual aesthetic direction
  • Lead visual ideation for high-stakes moments: major product launches, experiential events (RSA, Black Hat), and brand campaigns
  • Contribute hands-on concept work when the moment demands it. This is a vision-first role, but your craft should be evident
  • Build a shared creative language across the org so the aesthetic direction scales without bottlenecking through you
  • Serve as the creative authority and taste-setter for all visual output, from brand identity to campaigns to experiential environments
  • Translate the CEO's and leadership's vision into a clear, communicable aesthetic that others can execute without needing you in every room
  • Partner with creative services to keep production output style-consistent, setting guardrails and reviewing work rather than running the factory
  • Develop mood boards, concept art, and visual references that define "in the zone" creative for recruiter screening, vendor briefs, and internal alignment

Must Haves

  • 10+ years of experience in concept art, visual design, or art direction, with a body of work that shows artistic progression and a distinct point of view
  • Shipped credits on AAA game titles, major film productions, or equivalent high-craft visual projects in sci-fi, cyberpunk, or adjacent genres, with work focused on interface design, in-world UI/UX, holographic displays, or designed objects (virtual weapons, vehicles, technology systems) rather than characters, creatures, or natural environments
  • A portfolio that demonstrates genuine aesthetic vision, not just execution. Your work should show world-building expressed through designed objects and systems: architecture, vehicles, digital weapons, futuristic technology, UI. Detailed, intentional, engineered creative work. Painterly or landscape-driven portfolios are not the profile we're hiring
  • Experience as the sole or lead visual voice on at least one significant project: not just a contributor, but the person who owned the aesthetic direction end to end
  • Ability to articulate and document a visual language clearly enough that others can execute it without you present
  • Experience collaborating directly with senior leadership or creative directors and translating their vision into something tangible
  • Craft fluency across visual mediums: digital, environmental, editorial, motion
  • Proven ability to work as an individual contributor in a fast-moving tech company. You operate with autonomy, take feedback, and collaborate cross-functionally. You want to stay close to the work, and you're here to bring the vision, not manage a team
  • Strong communication and presentation skills. You can defend and sell a creative direction with clarity and confidence

Nice to Haves

  • Experience in B2B tech, cybersecurity, or enterprise software, or a demonstrated ability to quickly internalize a technical domain and translate it visually
  • Familiarity with experiential or event design (large-format, spatial, environmental)
  • Experience working alongside or managing a creative production team
  • Comfort with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
