Binary Defense is seeking a UI/UX Design Intern to help us design, test, and deliver the best user experiences in the cybersecurity industry.

Your responsibilities will start by helping us to better understand the needs of our users and to closely examine how they work. You will turn product research and our UX experience vision into experiences that users love. You will create and evolve wireframes, mockups and animatics to test hypotheses and convey our experience vision. You will A/B test your ideas and rely on data to inform experience design. And at the end of the day, you have the design chops to assist Development in bringing the product experiences to life.

To be successful in this role, you will come to the position with deep design convictions, a curiosity to explore new perspectives, and a desire continuously test and refine. You will have entry-level knowledge of design software, wireframing and prototyping tools, and have a healthy dose of humility. Your portfolio will include examples of professional design projects and product experiences that are tailored to the needs of end users – and you will be able to clearly explain how and why the designs achieve this.

Ultimately, you’ll help us incorporate the voice of the customer into our product, create both functional and intuitive user experiences that improve the lives of end users, and turn complex cybersecurity tools into the most intuitive and user-friendly product experiences in the industry.

If you have the chops, are up for a challenge, and want to help our company make the world a safer place for our customers and our partners around the globe, we want to meet you.
