About the Role As a Senior Product Designer for Security, Policies , you’ll own the design of policy configuration and compliance workflows that help organizations enforce security standards, meet regulatory requirements, and govern the SDLC. This role focuses on translating complex governance requirements into intuitive, scalable, usable experiences for AppSec professionals, Compliance managers, and Developers. Your primary focus will be on Security Policies—designing experiences that enable teams to define security rules, configure enforcement mechanisms, manage exceptions, and demonstrate compliance. You’ll work within the broader Security & Compliance portfolio, ensuring policy experiences integrate seamlessly with vulnerability management, application security scanners, and remediation workflows. You’ll partner closely with your Product Management and Engineering counterparts to deliver cohesive policy experiences that meet user needs.

You’ll design experiences that work within GitLab’s existing interaction patterns, apply Pajamas Design System standards, and ensure policy workflows feel consistent with the rest of the security platform. Senior designers deliver excellent craft, collaborate effectively across teams, and contribute to a culture of quality and iteration. What You’ll Do Own design for security policy and compliance experiences – Lead end‑to‑end design for policy configuration, compliance reporting, and SDLC governance. Translate technical complexity into clear experiences – Partner with security experts to understand policy configuration, compliance frameworks, and enforcement logic. Partner cross‑functionally – Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and teams across multiple security product groups. Deliver high craft quality – Demonstrate strong interaction design, visual design, and attention to detail. Contribute to the design system – Actively contribute to Pajamas by identifying reusable patterns and proposing new components. Ground work in research – Conduct usability studies, competitor evaluations, and formative research. Communicate designs clearly – Create wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high‑fidelity designs. Practice effective iteration – Break down designs to fit the release cadence and review merge requests with user‑facing changes. What You’ll Bring Demonstrated experience designing enterprise‑grade security, compliance, or DevSecOps products. Strong portfolio showing end‑to‑end product design work, from problem framing through shipped solutions. Experience designing holistic workflows and translating complex technical concepts into clear, user‑centered experiences. Excellent collaboration skills and experience fostering partnerships across multiple product teams and stakeholders. Systems thinking and experience contributing to or working with design systems.
