Who is Forcepoint?
Forcepoint simplifies security for global businesses and governments. Forcepoint’s all-in-one, truly cloud-native platform makes it easy to adopt Zero Trust and prevent the theft or loss of sensitive data and intellectual property no matter where people are working. 20+ years in business. 2.7k employees. 150 countries. 11k+ customers. 300+ patents. If our mission excites you, you’re in the right place; we want you to bring your own energy to help us create a safer world. All we’re missing is you!
We're looking for a UX Product Designer to lead a comprehensive modernization of the DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) platform's look and feel. Your mission: transform DSPM from functionally sound to visually modern, high-tech, minimalistic, and polished — while maintaining crystal-clear information architecture and usability standards. This is a hands-on design role where you'll directly shape how security teams visualize and understand complex data, while also establishing design standards that prevent usability drift.
You'll be the bridge between design strategy and implementation — working closely with frontend engineers to ship modern, high-fidelity designs while ensuring every feature released maintains usability integrity.
Main Responsibilities
- Collaborate and own. Work alongside UX design lead, product owners and engineering. Define UX requirements early, stay in the build through QA and release, and make engineering-aware design decisions.
- Establish a modern visual language, interaction patterns for data-heavy interfaces and a coherent design system (tokens, components, patterns) that guides all future work and ensures consistency.
- Lead a comprehensive redesign of DSPM's analytics components (charts, tables, filters, data cards, gauges, etc.). Create information architectures and visual hierarchies that make dense datasets scannable and actionable
- Conduct regular UX reviews using established usability principles (e.g., Nielsen's heuristics), document deviations and create prioritized initiatives to address them
- Design complex, multi-step user workflows that handle security operations (threat detection, policy enforcement, risk assessment). Leverage actively modern AI-assisted design tools to accelerate ideation and rapid prototyping, focusing craft on solving the highest-impact user tests.
- Partner closely with frontend engineers on a component-first implementation approach. Treat frontend engineers as your primary collaborator (not as a handoff point)
- Create design specs (Figma prototypes, interaction documentation) that guide implementation and provide rapid iteration feedback during development to keep quality high
- Ensure design quality at release through comprehensive audits and design sign-off
Core Requirements
- 5+ years designing enterprise software products (desktop interfaces)
- Strong portfolio showing:Data visualization UI (dashboards, charts, tables, complex workflows) Component/pattern libraries you've designed or led Visual design quality — modern, refined, user-focused
- Figma proficiency (your primary design tool)
- Design system or component library experience (you've owned or significantly contributed)
- Excellent visual design skills and knowledge of user-centered design principles.
- Usability heuristics mindset: you evaluate designs against established principles, not just gut feel
- Collaborative mindset: you thrive in partnership with engineers and product, not in isolation
Strongly Preferred
- Enterprise security/B2B product experience
- Familiarity with AI design tools or willingness to learn
- Experience designing for power users (not consumer-focused, but technical audiences)
- Deep product mindset: you understand how products work end-to-end; you've shipped across multiple areas; you think about systems, not just screens
How You Work
- Attention to Detail: You have a meticulous eye for visual and interaction details while crafting high-quality, user-friendly experiences.
- Master of trade-offs: You can break large features into thoughtful chunks, propose multiple design solutions, and find smart compromises between design vision, implementation timeline, and resource constraints. You speak the language of feasibility without compromising on quality.
- Product deep-diver: You don't design in a vacuum. You invest time understanding how DSPM works—the security workflows, user mental models, the competitive landscape, and why design decisions matter. You ask why before designing.
- Proactive problem-spotter: You don't wait to be told what to design; you spot gaps and propose solutions grounded in user needs and design principles.
- Clear communicator: You explain why, not just show what. Your decisions are defensible; you can articulate the reasoning to engineers, product, and stakeholders.
- Humble iterator: You seek feedback early and often — from users, from engineers, from product. You iterate based on reality, not assumptions.
- Shipping-focused: Perfect designs that never ship don't help users. You care about getting work into the world and learning from real use.
