Our technology protects the world's most sensitive data, and we’re looking for a Principal Product Designer who can make advanced AI and security infrastructure feel intuitive, trusted, and human.

As a Principal Product Designer at VIA, you will be embedded within our AI platform team, partnering closely with our Design Team, Product Owners, and Engineering to own end-to-end design for complex, high-stakes systems. Our products sit at the intersection of artificial intelligence, secure data exploration, and agentic workflows, built for environments where trust, precision, and data protection are non-negotiable. In this role, you will help define what we build and how it works, translating sophisticated technical architectures and real-world customer challenges into experiences that are as intuitive as they are secure. You'll take ownership from discovery through handoff, moving fluidly between strategic problem framing and high-fidelity execution.

Are you ready to join us?

In this role, you will

• Own end-to-end UX/UI design across VIA's product suite, including AI-native platforms, agentic workflow interfaces, multiplayer and collaborative data environments, and permission-controlled data sharing experiences
• Rapidly translate high-level workflows into low-fidelity mockups that give engineering teams something concrete to react to, reducing ambiguity and accelerating iteration
• Design for secure-by-default interaction patterns where data visibility, access control, and sharing are core UX constraints, not afterthoughts
• Collaborate with stakeholders to evaluate tradeoffs between technical complexity and user value, influencing roadmap direction
• Lead strategic design efforts for data-driven platforms, focusing on cohesive workflows and scalable systems rather than isolated screens
• Partner with Engineering to explore technical constraints, align on backend logic, and support thoughtful execution of complex features
• Translate technical requirements and security-focused constraints into clear, high-fidelity product concepts
• Transition seamlessly from high-level strategy and wireframing to the execution of prototypes, component documentation, and UI copy
• Champion the responsible leveraging of AI as a key aspect of our human-centered design process, helping to refine our AI-first design efforts.
• Establish and evolve design patterns and principles that support long-term consistency and scalability across our technology suite

Requirements
