Your Career

Please do not forget to attach your portfolio to your resume in order for us to best examine your suitability for the position *

We are looking for an experienced product design leader to lead our product design group for Cortex XSIAM and the Cortex Platform. The position is in our Palo Alto Networks R&D Center in Tel-Aviv.

The group is responsible for designing delighting end-to-end experiences for Cortex XSIAM - our premier offering in Cortex, and in addition, the group leads the design of core elements of the Cortex Platform - the platform that serves our entire Cortex product portfolio (XDR, XSOAR, Xpanse and XSIAM).

In this role, you will be leading talented senior product designers to solve complex user experience challenges with creative, streamlined flows and amazing aesthetics. As part of your position, you and your team will be expected to lead the entire design lifecycle to create pixel-perfect designs.

As the subject matter expert for design in the group, you will be responsible for the product design vision, and will need to collaborate cross functionally intensively across product management, engineering and other stakeholders to create clarity and alignment.

  • Work with team members to turn UX concepts into well designed flows

Your Experience

  • At least 6 years in leading highly performing product design teams
  • At least 10 years of delivering exceptional UX / Product design for complex web applications (please attach a link to your online portfolio)
  • Extensive experience in designing complex B2B products - cybersecurity a big plus
  • You are a designer by heart - you appreciate good design and have a tendency to design everything around you
  • Passionate about making complex systems simple
  • Ability to execute in a dynamic, fast-paced and changing environment
  • Detail-oriented and organized
  • Self-managing, self-correcting, autodidact
  • Team player with simple, direct and positive communication

The Team

Our UX team is an integrated part of the Cortex Product team. We work closely with the Product Managers, Customer Success and the Engineering teams to define, design and build the best in class, Next generation, smart and powerful Cyber Security. We are the user's advocates, the researchers and the designers that make Cortex products easier to use and more intuitive. Our team is diverse and inclusive, and we would love you to join us.
