Full-time · Remote

Krit is a growing digital agency that partners with Cyber Security startups to design and build innovative new products.

We typically work with 4-8 clients at one time on projects like:

• Designing a web app to visualize the background noise of the internet and uncover the next wave of cyber attacks.
• Creating software that helps Fortune 500 companies visualize opportunities for attack within their networks and improve their security.
• Building a dashboard used by security teams at city governments and utilities to detect abnormal network traffic.
• Our clients’ products have been used by brands like Dropbox, Lyft, Microsoft, Nike, Yale University, government agencies and more.

Last year, we made more than $1M in revenue as a company and are on track to increase that this year. We’re a bootstrapped, transparent company and share our profits with our team every quarter. 🎉

Note: Because some of our clients work with government agencies, this role is only open to US citizens.

We’re looking for a mid or senior-level product designer We’re looking for a mid or senior-level product designer with an eye for detail and a passion for creating software that looks great and is easy to use. You should have experience producing wireframes and high-fidelity, interactive mockups for software applications. You should also be comfortable owning a project from start to finish and collaborating within a small team.

Detail oriented Most of your work will be creating production-ready, high-fidelity prototypes that will serve as the blueprint for our developers to implement. You should have a sharp eye for details in your design and pay attention to things like consistent typography, spacing and use of color.

User focused You will be working with clients to create products that solve real problems for their users. You should always be thinking about the people using the software you design and make thoughtful considerations for things like error messages, empty states, and edge cases.

Eye for aesthetics We create software that solves problems and looks great doing it (nobody wants to use ugly software!). You should be a creative visual designer with an understanding of how aesthetics impact user experience and perception.

Accepting of feedback We believe sharing and getting feedback on designs early and often produces the best work. You should seek out feedback on your ideas as a way to push your work to the best it can be.
