• Build interactive, near-production-quality prototypes using React, TypeScript, or similar frameworks to validate ideas before full engineering investment

• Partner with Engineering to validate technical feasibility early and reduce handoff friction

• Help establish and evolve reusable UI patterns, components, and Reality Defender's broader design system

• Advocate for usability, accessibility, and thoughtful interaction design across the platform

• Work alongside Product Managers to define customer experiences before development begins

• Facilitate cross-team alignment by making complex ideas tangible through prototypes and visual storytelling

• 5+ years designing and building modern SaaS applications

• Strong portfolio demonstrating both UX design and front-end implementation

• Expertise with Figma and modern prototyping tools

• Experience building interfaces using React, TypeScript, or similar front-end frameworks

• Strong understanding of interaction design, usability, and accessibility

• Ability to rapidly move from concept to prototype

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, and comfort in a fast-moving startup environment

• Nice to have: enterprise software design experience, AI or cybersecurity product experience, familiarity with design systems and component libraries, user research/usability testing experience, or motion/interaction animation experience

• Be embedded within Product and Engineering workflows
