UX Researcher & Designer

We are a stealth-mode Berlin startup tackling social engineering and identity-based cyber attacks, looking for an autonomous UX Researcher & Designer to shape our product from early prototype to market fit.

Overview

Why this role matters

We recently shipped an early prototype of our core platform and now need dedicated UX leadership to validate and refine our direction. Without this dual-hat role, we cannot systematically run the research cycles and rapid UI iterations necessary to protect users from trust-based threats.

Responsibilities

What you'll do

Full end-to-end ownership of UX research, interaction design, and UI execution across both consumer web and B2B SaaS interfaces.

  • Design, execute, and analyze qualitative user interviews and quantitative usability studies.
  • Rapidly prototype interactive web interfaces leveraging AI-assisted design tooling and Figma AI.
  • Formulate sharp product hypotheses and run continuous test-validate-learn cycles.
  • Analyze behavioral data and product analytics to directly inform interface iterations.
  • Partner closely with our Berlin engineering team to evolve the product from prototype to product-market fit.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • Proven track record designing consumer web interfaces and B2B SaaS tools in early-stage startups.
  • Experienced running hands-on qualitative interviews and quantitative usability studies.
  • High-velocity prototyper adept with modern interaction design and AI-assisted workflows.
  • Data-fluent designer skilled in using analytics to validate behavioral hypotheses.
  • Thrives in zero-to-one ambiguity with extreme autonomy and high agency.

Culture

What it's like to work here

The company operates in a highly fluid, early-stage environment where team cadences are actively being shaped. The operating rhythm centres on rapid feedback loops, pairing short daily syncs with weekly live syncs to stay closely aligned. Decisions are driven by data and hypothesis testing rather than top-down decree. The team values extreme autonomy, high agency, and comfort with ambiguity, operating out of the Berlin office to iterate rapidly from 0-to-1.

What you get

The offer

  • End-to-end design ownership on a greenfield product with zero red tape.
  • Rapid, hypothesis-driven iteration cycles backed by daily and weekly live syncs.
  • Direct impact shaping our operating cadences and product culture from the Berlin office.
  • High-agency environment where data and user feedback guide decisions, not top-down decrees.

A quick note

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You come exclusively from a pure agency background and expect defined project briefs.
  • You need structured processes and established design systems already in place.
  • You prefer separating UX research from UI design rather than owning the full cycle.
