Position Summary

Delinea is looking for a Principal UX Designer to join our established User Experience team. In this role, you’ll be the exemplar of craft and collaboration that other designers seek out and learn from — guiding design for a significant product area within our identity security platform and navigating complex projects that cross team and organizational lines. You’ll partner with product, engineering, and design leadership to shape not just individual features, but how our broader design practice operates. You’ll get there through a mix of hands-on craft, collaborative facilitation with the teams you partner with, and active mentorship of the designers who look to you for guidance.

This role is right for a designer who has already proven they can own end-to-end design with little oversight, and is ready to extend that impact beyond their own feature area — setting direction for other designers, raising the bar on craft across the team, and starting to shape outcomes for Delinea’s broader design and product organization.

We’re flexible on location for the right candidate: this role is based in the Seattle area with a hybrid rhythm preferred, though we’ll consider fully remote candidates who bring the right depth of experience.

Please include a link to your portfolio of professional design work with your application — this is a key part of how we review candidates — ideally showing complex, cross-functional design problems you’ve solved end-to-end.

What You’ll Do

- Lead design projects from concept to delivery, from early strategy through complex interaction models, workflows, and polished prototypes.

- Set a bar for craft and collaboration that other designers and writers seek out and learn from.

- Partner with and facilitate design reviews with product and engineering leadership, making sure ambitious designs are scoped, feasible, and executed accurately.

- Regularly mentor junior designers, providing feedback on craft, process, and design best practices.

- Bring emerging design trends and practices into Delinea’s product design, evaluating what’s worth adopting versus what’s just noise.

- Contribute to and help evolve the Delinea Design System, and champion consistent, scalable design across the product portfolio.

- Influence design practice and standards for the broader design and product organization, beyond your immediate product area.

We’d Love to See

- 8+ years of experience as a Product Designer or UX Designer, with a track record of owning complex product areas end-to-end.

- A portfolio demonstrating design skill and leadership on complex, cross-functional, or ambiguous problems.

- Deep expertise in interaction design and user experience principles, with the judgment to know when to go deep versus move fast.

- Strong leadership and project management skills — comfortable navigating projects that span multiple teams and stakeholders and driving design projects forward.

- High proficiency with Figma and modern design/prototyping tools, plus hands-on experience using AI-assisted tools in your design workflow (e.g., prototyping, research synthesis, or design-to-code handoff).

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present and defend design thinking to senior and ex
