We're looking for a Senior UX Designer to lead end-to-end design efforts from concept to launch. You'll take genuinely complex enterprise problems and turn them into interfaces that feel obvious, considered, and good to use.
Senior UX Designer – STG
Are you a UX designer driven by curiosity and craft?
Do you love designing next-gen enterprise product experiences?
Join the Akamai STG UX team!
Akamai's Security Technology Group (STG) builds the platforms that protect a meaningful share of the internet.
If you care about the pixel and the system, if you get energy from B2B products where the stakes and the complexity are real, and if you want your design system contributions to be used by dozens of engineers every day, this role is for you.
As a Senior UX Designer, you will
- Be a strategic partner who represents the user and ensures their needs and feedback drive every design decision.
- Make complex systems simple, clear, and navigable.
- Design intuitive, visually polished interfaces that raise the bar for the whole product, from typography, layout, and hierarchy down to states, motion, and micro-interactions.
- Own the interaction model for the flows you design: how things respond, transition, recover from error, and behave under load and at scale.
- Maintain and evolve our design system, including auditing components, defining patterns and usage guidance, contributing new components, and partnering with engineering to keep design and code in sync.
- Drive adoption of the design system across teams: reviewing designs against it, resolving pattern conflicts, and knowing when a one-off should become a shared component.
- Contribute to our team's shared knowledge of design and system best practices.
Requirements
To be successful in this role, you should have
- 5+ years of UX design experience, with work examples or a portfolio demonstrating design for complex products.
- Substantial experience designing B2B / enterprise software, with a real understanding of how business users, admins, and technical personas actually work: multi-user workflows, permissions and roles, dense data, long-lived tasks, and buyers who aren't the end users.
- Exceptional visual and interaction design skills : A portfolio that shows genuine craft in typography, layout, color, and hierarchy, plus up-to-date knowledge of UI trends
- Hands-on experience maintaining design systems and component libraries in Figma, covering components, variants, tokens, documentation, versioning, and adoption, plus a solid understanding of engineering constraints.
- Fluency in English, with the ability to communicate and defend design decisions and build product and domain knowledge with technical partners.
- A keen eye for detail and the ability to connect content, terminology, and product logic across technical domains.
- (Bonus) Security or infrastructure knowledge is helpful, but not required.
