Senior Product Design Engineer
Cortex by Palo Alto NetworksThe industry’s most comprehensive product suite for security operations.
• Contribute to raising the design bar at Cortex: You’ll work with the design team to push the boundaries of our design and user experience. You are relentless about crafting a delightful experience that we can all be proud of. • Continuous improvement and animation: You’ll also look for opportunities to ensure no part of the product falls below standard best practices. That means reducing papercuts, iterating on clunky user experiences, polishing microinteractions, and adding appropriate UI animation to guide users to success. • Design system ownership: You’ll own the design system end-to-end, in both Figma and code. You’ll work closely with other designers who are consuming components in figma, and developers consuming components in code. • Prototype: You will assist the design team, product management team, and engineering teams in rapid prototyping when a high fidelity prototype is the best tool to illustrate functionality. • Ship feature additions and fixes: You’ll be asked to design and ship UI-heavy features across the product surface area, ensuring components are performant and well-tested while collaborating with product management, frontend, and backend developers when necessary. • Attention to detail: One of your core responsibilities is to maintain a strong attention to detail. You’ll be asked to regularly identify areas of inconsistency and incompleteness, and proactively work to make our product feel polished and professional.
