This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. The Team Our Login and MFA team owns the most consequential surface in software: the exact moment someone proves who they are. Getting this right means designing security that's invisible when it works, flows that guide without friction, and experiences that people trust without thinking twice. We're looking for a designer who obsesses over the details that make that possible. You'll join a distributed and diverse team of designers who see design as both craft and catalyst. We believe design is never static, it evolves with our users, our products, and our own curiosity. Some days that means diving deep into research and validation, others it's refining existing flows, and often it's imagining bold new ways to move our product forward. Our team thrives on collaboration and feedback. We learn from one another, challenge ourselves to raise the bar, and create space to experiment and grow. Designers here have real ownership, influencing product direction alongside engineering and product management while shaping experiences that reach millions of people worldwide. If you're energized by complex problems, motivated to push boundaries, and eager to hone your craft while making a lasting impact, this is the place to do it. The Role As a Staff Product Designer, you'll tackle some of the hardest design challenges in identity: making authentication seamless for end users while remaining powerful and configurable for the developers who build on it.
