Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are. Who We Are We believe collaboration thrives in person. That’s why most of our teams work from the office full time, with flexibility when it’s needed. This model supports real-time problem-solving, stronger relationships, and the kind of precision that drives great outcomes. Job Description Your Career At Palo Alto Networks, to be the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life. As part of our Network Security (NetSec) Platform team, you’ll help shape intuitive, scalable experiences for complex enterprise environments. You’ll drive impact by elevating our design system into a flexible, empowering platform that supports both product delivery and design excellence, end-to-end, from concept to code. Your Impact This isn't a typical design role. You'll be on the front lines, defining how GenAI and design intersect at our company. We’re looking for a hybrid Senior Product Designer that is (50%) design system and (50%) product design. You’re a collaborative builder who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You love bringing ideas to life, crafting everything from polished demos to high-fidelity components that get your team aligned and excited. You’re driven to constantly push your craft, gathering feedback, connecting the dots, and delivering smart, scalable templates that make a huge impact, and partnering closely with engineers to ensure high-quality, file-to-production alignment. To foster the collaboration this role needs, you'll join us at our Santa Clara, CA office at least three days a week as part of our hybrid in-office model. What You’ll Be Doing Modernize and Scale our Design System with GenAI: You'll be at the forefront of this effort, designing components, actively developing prototyping kits, building custom Figma plug-ins, and creating integrations for GenAI tools-MCP-Figma (like FigmaMake, Cursor, and Polymet) to accelerate workflows and define our future standards of excellence. Design In-Product: You'll be responsible for transforming mundane workflows into delightful experiences and delivering quality of life features based on customer feedback from concept to final implementation. Proactively conduct usability testing and use data to inform design decisions and continuously improve the user experience. Qualifications Your Experience 5+ years of product design experience. Expertise in creating and evolving systems, UI libraries, and token-based architecture using Figma and front-end frameworks. Experience empowering teams with scalable tooling, contribution models, and governance practices that enable efficiency without slowing progress. Systems-thinking mindset, connecting design patterns to product goals, workflows, and constraints, with a focus on scalability and practical implementation. Collaborative approach, driving execution independently while mentoring others and advocating for design quality across functions. Excellent communication skills, simplifying complex concepts and influencing teams to adopt and improve design systems. Data-driven, using user feedback to continuously improve product design. Additional Information The Team If you’re excited by the opportunity to shape the future of cybersecurity through design, Palo Alto Networks is the place for you. We are a passionate team of designers working on cutting-edge solutions for global security challenges. Join us to make a real impact and grow in an environment that fosters innovation and collaboration.
