What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer position at Cisco Systems?
SecureX brings together security services and products as an XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform. Cisco is on a mission to democratize security through visibility, automation, and a modern, radically simplified user experience. Our Product Design team is instrumental in guiding and achieving this vision. Join the team and bring your problem-solving skills, passion for visual refinement, and empathetic approach to every experience we ship. You’ll have a direct hand in enabling our customers to protect the people, devices, applications, and data their organizations rely on every day.
What You'll Do
As a member of the SecureX team, you will:
- Deliver on UX initiatives, gather requirements, wireframe, design in high fidelity, develop prototypes, deliver production quality assets, and ensure that implementations meet expectations
- Possess the critical thinking skills, inventiveness, and work ethic required to design complex workflows, data-rich views and interactive visualizations
- Design with the Cisco security portfolio in mind by building cross-team relationships, guiding integration UX efforts, digging into API documentation and performing other investigative tasks
- Work with other product teams in Cisco's Security Business Group to standardize on UI elements and components for a uniform look and feel and shared capabilities across the portfolio
- Design to the vision while being able to deliver piecemeal and iteratively for rapid release cycles
Who You’ll Work With
You will work closely with individuals and teams across and outside the organization (partners, product managers, engineering, integrators, customers…) to represent both user and business interests in order to improve the product and portfolio experience. The SecureX UI team is looking for a candidate that is:
- Self-motivated by the challenges put in front of them. We follow our stakeholder’s guidance but value autonomy and the inventiveness of designers that care about user needs and seek to improve the experience with ideas that present themselves along the way – outside of the documented roadmap
- Able to take charge of the UX design process from start to finish, working across multiple disciplines to see designs from inception to use in production
- Passionate about investigating new trends, techniques, and technologies and using them to keep products and processes innovative but not at the expense of being highly effective
- Comfortable working with 2-week release cycle deadlines, longer-term milestones and the deliverables and diverse personalities associated with both
Who You Are
We’re looking for a team member that has:
- A wide range of skills that spans interviewing stakeholders to stubbing out interaction patterns in prototyping tools or in code
- Experience designing solutions representing large, complex data sets, enterprise type workflows, and interactive visualizations in an intuitive manner
- Experience with integration-focused product ecosystems and the challenges involved (APIs, authorization models, context switching, etc.)
- Experience writing clear and purposeful stories in ticket systems such as GitHub and breaking designs into manageable units of work
- Mastery of Figma, Miro or other design software packages
- Some experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern prototyping tools
Why Cisco
